The Hidden Desert Monks: The Secret Origins of Christian Mysticism

Описание: In the deserts of Egypt, early Christian monks built a radical spiritual experiment — silence, isolation, discipline, and psychological struggle.
This video explores how their hidden practices shaped Christian mysticism, Eastern hesychasm, Western monasticism, and modern ideas about the mind.

In this episode of Hidden Faith, I walk you through:
– Why thousands left the cities to live in caves
– How they used silence as a tool for inner clarity
– Anthony the Great, Pachomius, Evagrius, and Macrina
– Spiritual “warfare” and the real meaning behind “fighting demons”
– The Sayings of the Desert Fathers and their practical wisdom
– How their experiments became the foundation of Christian mysticism
– Why their insights still matter in a world full of noise
