“I would even venture to affirm that every thought capable of forming an impression in the intellect (noema) is nothing other than an elementary outline, pointing to realities that are beyond it.” (St. Maximos the Confessor)“All of us are subject to spiritual deception. Awareness of this fact is the greatest protection against it. Likewise, the greatest spiritual deception of all is to consider oneself free from it.” (St. Ignatius Brianchaninov)“Our enemies are not made of flesh and blood, because if they were, we could hide from them or flee from them, but our spiritual enemies are everywhere. They suggest thoughts that are not rooted in love, chastity, goodness, and kindness…All those fallen noetic powers are circling the earth. Every sin is a property of the fallen spirits. Every sin is [first] a thought, a powerful thought.” (Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica)“We are - the children of God; we are - holy in Christ; let us keep, let us preserve our hearts in holiness, so that the hand of the impure and evil spirits may not in any way touch us, the living arks of God, our thoughts and hearts!”…man is engaged in a spiritual warfare, which it is his business to win.” (Saint John of Kronstadt)
