I'm a Muslim writing my university dissertation on the persecution of Orthodox Christians in The Soviet Union. I've been watching your videos for a while and they have not only given me context for my studies but also touched me personally. I return to that video on St Herman of Alaska every once in a while, it was very beautiful to hear his life story. Peace to all The Orthodox Christians out there, may God keep you safe. 🙏🙏🙏
Ex muslim here, got baptised 6 months ago. I can tell you one thing if you see this, please do more research into Christ. He really, truly is the way man.
"They regard man as their God, that is why man should love them.. because they are not looking forward to another paradise." This line always makes me cry.
It’s the silence afterward he says it for me. Like, “let that sink in”. We care for many wild animals on our land and I’ll never get tired of simply observing their existence. It’s grounding. God bless.
I had a dead dog show me where she was, and it was beautiful. She was beaming. She showed me the forests full of trails. There were fields of grass where each blade was alive with zest. There were rabbits jumping all around. I didn't know that she had already passed when she showed me herself. She had run off, and i thought we were going to find her. I absolutely believe she was showing me the Rainbow Bridge. If i don't have my pets with me on the other side, it won't be heaven to me.
Just yesterday, I witnessed a miracle happen through an animal. I went to pray in my balcony, feel the wind in my face. I said: “God, I am feeling distant from you. I am feeling lost and alone. Please speak to me as you used to.” As I finished the sentence, I heard a little thud and in the darkness I managed to see a praying mantis. We prayed together, then he climbed on me. I live in the 12th floor of a building in center of a very crowded third world city, where these creatures have no chance. My favorite thing of his creation are insects, and this is not the first time He speaks through them. Last time, when I was feeling desperate, a grasshopper landed on my hair when I was in church. Here, we call them “hope”. I am just converting to Christianity (and this channel had a very big influence on me). It’s always good to hear I am on the right path.
That's a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. I've been feeling similar to how you described and it's comforting just hearing about the way God made His presence known to you. I, too, feel closest to God when I see the wonderful creatures and land that He's created for us.

I weep watching this. I whistle a march from Carmen every morning and so many animals come to me. Blue birds, crows, seaguls, rabbits, squirrels, even an occassional deer. I am not meant for this world. Our ignorance sickens and overwhelms me. I do everything I can to make it just a little easier for everyone around me. The animals are the only ones who notice my absence.
Really odd timing to see this video, I’m a DoorDasher and this is the third time I’m going to deliver to this special house out of my zone, I am always happy to deliver here because I get to greet the owner’s goats! They are a creature that instills instant compassion
Yes! My favorite monk who’s words inspired me to return to Orthodoxy and get baptized at the age of 27. If you have a friend who is into the new age/new thought and you see they’re on the brink of coming to Christ, give them the book “The Gurus, The Young Man and Elder Paisios” by Dionysios Farasiotis. Can’t recommend this more.
@ Especially if you came from exploring the occult to Christianity, this book does a full circle. The connection between Blawatski, ascended masters, then yoga to today’s new though movement. It’s all coming from the same source. I’m happy you found value!
Watched it twice! Loved it! When I got down from my bus at night, there was nobody, only me and a cat which came to say hi, while I was listening to this. I pointed the cat to go in a direction and she went. Felt something special ❤️
When i am living in a way where all i do is think about god and pray my birds will often say the prayer i am saying in my mind even making the same mistake i make in my mental prayer, and this happened after i found god, it does not work with my dog unfortunately, but i have had many wild animals just come up to me like i was there mother, i love all animals, snakes, reptiles and i know animals feel love, but god is there master and you will find many accounts of animals in wild situations who help a human in need, i wish i could speak to this elder but i will ask for his intercession, i want to say i love your channel and i am very much moved by them, they have helped me greatly as i am all alone and when i feel i have drifted spiritually it helps recenter me and remember gods words, i had a near death experience that was terrible and turned me to god and stuff like this has helped
There is also another experience which im surprised it wasn't mentioned in the video. An atheist (I think he was a scientist as well) went to speak with Elder Paisios, aiming to disprove him. Paisios told him, "I can prove you're a fool for believing as you do." At that moment, a lizard happened to pass by, and Paisios asked it, "Does God exist?" . The lizard stood on its two legs and nodded affirmatively (!). That atheist is now a monk on Mount Athos.
The animals can be great sign posts and perfect teachers. I have learnt a lot. Two examples, I’m in Australia and I wondered how I can respect the aboriginals more than I have, and a bug fell on my head moments later, I saved it from the toilet it fell in. Look after the land and its creatures was the message. I was also pondering how I do not see all creatures the same, and that even and invasive species like cane toads deserve love as one of gods creatures. I hadn’t seen toads for 6 months. But that week I pondered this occasionally. Then strongly one night driving home. I saw a huge mum and baby toad that night and felt love for them for the first time. Now I don’t have some disgust anymore.
listen with your heart :p it's true i'm an audio dsp expert, i can hear more than animals talk. i could hear the prayers coming out of the west side of that landmass just above australia. looked it up, yagamo, grasberg. just don't tell modern people. another thing people don't know is how nasty some people are. and organised.
There is also another Snake Story I like: The elder was counseling visitors under a tree when suddenly a Viper appeared from the underbrush, approaching them swiftly. Panicked the visitors shouted and picked stones to throw at it but the elder called "Stop! It is my friend, it comes to visit me", then the elder Paisios stood up and brought from his cell a small plate of water that he placed in front of the snake for it to drink and the Viper did just that. After the Snake had its fill the elder said "Now go because I have visitors" and the Viper did as instructed and it slithered back into the underbrush.
I visited one a few years ago and felt God in a particular way I hadn’t before. I have been a Christian for a long time and felt His presence in various ways, but there was something distinct there. I am now Orthodox and a member of that church, and I still feel it. You will not regret visiting ❤
Hello fellow seeker. Welcome to the journey !! Follow Christ Jesus. Get to know HIM through letting Him into your life through love and prayer. Combine this with reading the Gospels, then the Epistles, and He will lead you to The Orthodox Faith. Fellowship and listen, observe and let God be your food. Where do you reside? Google for a canonical Orthodox in your town/city. Call the cell or email Priest or Deacon to introduce yourself and they will keep a look out for you, and, at the end, once the Liturgy is completed you'll see most of the congregation go forward, only go forward then, not while the regular ones receive Holy Communion. Non Orthodox go forward for a blessing at the end and do stay for a coffee. May God bless you !!
I've got ravens, crows , robins, starlings, wood pidgeons, spuggies, and blackbirds squak outside of my window every day for their seeds and old bread 😅 I rescue dogs. I love animals and nature.
This is my favorite book! When I wanted to buy it I had trouble finding it. I asked for the saints intersection and then I was able to find it. If anyone is wondering Holy Trinity monetary sells it!
Are you going to make a story about Ioan Gutu??? Really? Im so excited because im also romanian and id love to see you talk about one of my people :))). Doamne ajuta!
Idk if i got here somehow cause I used to watch disruptv videos or because my own recent turn back towards faith. But its cool to hear that voice again lol
The Orthodox spiritual life of asceticism seeks union and participation in God, which is the way were we supposed to be; the king of creation. Our fall affected the entire cosmos, and caused animals to longer obey us and to fear us due to our sins. That’s why there are many stories of Orthodox Saints who befriended animals. The animals didn’t fear them, and behaved as animals behaved proper to the fall
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms" is a verse from the Bible, Ephesians 1:3.
I’m going to be baptized on Lazarus Saturday, and I don’t know who I want ad my patron saint, I’m thinking between St Dimitri Donskoy, St Gabriel of Georgia, or st Paisios. But st paisios is very interesting, I love animals and nature so much, so maybe him.
Animal communication is something that can be learned. All consciousness is connected but in humans ego gets in the way. Similar thing goes for non-verbal autists.
1:58 "Nowadays when one approaches God anew by observing His commandments, he is once again vested in Divine grace, whereupon he returns to the condition man had been in before the Fall and the animals recognize him again as their master. That is when one can move fearlessly among the wild animals which then cease to be wild since their master is now tamed."
Some people will disagree with my assessment, but I have observed animals to display superhuman levels of virtue quite casually. I am not saying I have seen an animal who is on the whole virtuous, but, if you take a given virtue, in many cases it is taken to a dizzying height somewhere in the animal world. How can it be?
animals have simpler consciousness. however, in certain occassions and certain creatures animals can also have the same vices as human beings. Chimps have their own turf wars and acts of terrorism
I had a car that showed up at my house 8 months ago it died last month in front of my friends house I was sad it was my friend God gave me a dream last night that my cat new it was sick and it just wanted somebody to love her before it died I thank God that I did love her I still do rest in peace my friend!
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, " Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the eart."

I had a dead dog show me where she was, and it was beautiful. She was beaming. She showed me the forests full of trails. There were fields of grass where each blade was alive with zest. There were rabbits jumping all around.
I didn't know that she had already passed when she showed me herself. She had run off, and i thought we were going to find her.
I absolutely believe she was showing me the Rainbow Bridge.

I live in the 12th floor of a building in center of a very crowded third world city, where these creatures have no chance.

listen with your heart :p it's true i'm an audio dsp expert, i can hear more than animals talk. i could hear the prayers coming out of the west side of that landmass just above australia. looked it up, yagamo, grasberg.
just don't tell modern people. another thing people don't know is how nasty some people are. and organised.
Don't get too bold too quickly lol. Don't try to cuddle with a croc.... yet
St Paisios Please pray for the new converts to the orthodox church that they may find peace and rest ☦️ 🙏
Saint Paisios pray for us all
There is also another Snake Story I like:
The elder was counseling visitors under a tree when suddenly a Viper appeared from the underbrush, approaching them swiftly.
Panicked the visitors shouted and picked stones to throw at it but the elder called "Stop! It is my friend, it comes to visit me", then the elder Paisios stood up and brought from his cell a small plate of water that he placed in front of the snake for it to drink and the Viper did just that.
After the Snake had its fill the elder said "Now go because I have visitors" and the Viper did as instructed and it slithered back into the underbrush.
why does the audio always sound eschatological?!?? perfection.
because it's immanentised?. shag! shag! shag!
Thank you for this beautiful video. It helped me wake up this morning, and it is helping me be grateful. I am excited to watch your other videos!!!
These videos make want to try an Orthodox church. The amount of tradition is really attractive
I visited one a few years ago and felt God in a particular way I hadn’t before. I have been a Christian for a long time and felt His presence in various ways, but there was something distinct there. I am now Orthodox and a member of that church, and I still feel it. You will not regret visiting ❤
It’s life changing - go to a Divine Liturgy it will touch your souls in ways beyond understanding
Hello fellow seeker. Welcome to the journey !!
Follow Christ Jesus. Get to know HIM through letting Him into your life through love and prayer.
Combine this with reading the Gospels, then the Epistles, and He will lead you to The Orthodox Faith. Fellowship and listen, observe and let God be your food.
Where do you reside? Google for a canonical Orthodox in your town/city. Call the cell or email Priest or Deacon to introduce yourself and they will keep a look out for you, and, at the end, once the Liturgy is completed you'll see most of the congregation go forward, only go forward then, not while the regular ones receive Holy Communion. Non Orthodox go forward for a blessing at the end and do stay for a coffee.
May God bless you !!
I love the story of the Monk and Olet!
I love your videos and your dedication is evident in each one .
Glory to God for the animals and the elder monk.. This is precious🐦 and Harmony videos are the best..Gratiude ☦︎
Wow that olet story about coming to the Saint even if he is hungry over the other birds is amazing. Just like Christ and Us
This was a really beautiful and informative video❤
Thank you.
Olet seem like a pretty nice birb
I love saint paisios with all my heart
What a beautiful video, thank you and peace be with you.
I've got ravens, crows , robins, starlings, wood pidgeons, spuggies, and blackbirds squak outside of my window every day for their seeds and old bread 😅
I rescue dogs. I love animals and nature.
Animals are the best! I Love all wildlife and domestic animals! All of God’s creatures! Amen❣️🙏♥️✝️🕊️✨
Άγιε Παΐσιε, πρέσβευε υπέρ ημών. Saint Paisios was truly a man of God.
And I’m Greek (both parents) 🇬🇷 but never knew of him. 🤷♀️ Χαιρετισμούς από τον Καναδά! 🇨🇦👋 Δόξα Πάτερ, ιός και άγιο πνεύμα! 🙏♥️✝️🕊️✨
St. Paisios/Paisie,pray for us!☦️
Thank you very much! Nice presentation!
As a life professed Franciscan brother of 26 years, I find this fascinating. A deep charism in our order.

Always a good day when harmony uploads
I enjoyed listening to this video! Thank you!
St Paisios, my favourite saint ❤️
St Paisios full of love and compassion, the animals sense this, pray for us ayios🙏
The videos you make are amazing!
Thank you for another masterpiece my brother in Christ! I love you all!
This is my favorite book! When I wanted to buy it I had trouble finding it. I asked for the saints intersection and then I was able to find it. If anyone is wondering Holy Trinity monetary sells it!
Is that a coin with the trinity on it.
I love animals and hope to see them in hevean
If the creatures aren't there it can't be heaven.
They will be there and we will all live in harmony together! 🎉🎉God is so Good! Hallelujah!! 🙌🙏♥️✝️🕊️✨
That was beautiful
Your videos are always timely. Just recently I wished I could speak to my dog like St Gerasimos and tell her to stop misbehaving
Why should we then look for another paradise? Things are perfect 👌. This is beautiful
ANOTHER ONE! God bless you brother from UK
Beautiful. Thank you
This is my fav. Really great
Beautiful. St. Paisios pray for us.
Thank you video makers for creating and sharing this with us.
Awesome video
Fully agree
We can communicate with all living beings
Thank you for this video!
Are you going to make a story about Ioan Gutu??? Really? Im so excited because im also romanian and id love to see you talk about one of my people :))). Doamne ajuta!
Show me your Saint Paisios
Works like a charm
i dont get it
@cam5918 its what to say to protestants when they claim theirs is the true church
@@cam5918 When someone tries to disprove orthodoxy you say "if your christianity is the correct one, show me your st paisios"
@@gustavoh5143 ty for explaining
Glory to God in the highest
Amen❣️🙌🙏♥️✝️🕊️✨
Lives of the saints always make me reminiscent of what we could be
Wow, beatiful story of olet and paisios
I have been having conversations with two owls this morning, i felt something very special ♥️
I love St. Francis of Assisi, too
He's not Orthodox.
Idk if i got here somehow cause I used to watch disruptv videos or because my own recent turn back towards faith. But its cool to hear that voice again lol
Thank you Harmony
Oh my goodness it’s Harmony ❤
This was so beautiful 😭
Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner.
You have the power to say I do not want any more, I do not like the taste.
@teresamilczarek6505 rope....?
@teresamilczarek6505 end it all..?
The Orthodox spiritual life of asceticism seeks union and participation in God, which is the way were we supposed to be; the king of creation. Our fall affected the entire cosmos, and caused animals to longer obey us and to fear us due to our sins. That’s why there are many stories of Orthodox Saints who befriended animals. The animals didn’t fear them, and behaved as animals behaved proper to the fall
Amazing!
Very enjoyable video.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms" is a verse from the Bible, Ephesians 1:3.
The eagle brought the fish to him, I've received rabbit sweetmeats from an Owl before.
My brother in Christ wake up, harmony posted.
Thank you
I’m going to be baptized on Lazarus Saturday, and I don’t know who I want ad my patron saint, I’m thinking between St Dimitri Donskoy, St Gabriel of Georgia, or st Paisios. But st paisios is very interesting, I love animals and nature so much, so maybe him.
A vote for Paisos
@ well I haven’t decided yet, it’s my choice
Bring them to your Priest and have him advise if you are still having a hard time as you get closer to Baptism.
@ I’m putting a lot of thought into it, I definitely will ask him
@@OrthodoxKerygma no it's not a choice. Your patron is the one who you feel is closest to you.
Glory to God ❤
This was so beauriful that it made me belly laugh. I want to learn more!
Praise the Lord
Amen.. Praise Jesus ❤
Great!❤ When will part 3 of Theosis, the true purpose of human life come out?
Animal communication is something that can be learned. All consciousness is connected but in humans ego gets in the way. Similar thing goes for non-verbal autists.
1:58 "Nowadays when one approaches God anew by observing His commandments, he is once again vested in Divine grace, whereupon he returns to the condition man had been in before the Fall and the animals recognize him again as their master. That is when one can move fearlessly among the wild animals which then cease to be wild since their master is now tamed."
Which commandments ? There are 600+
@@decathlete2000why does it matter
There is nothing better then watching a Harmonu video
Some people will disagree with my assessment, but I have observed animals to display superhuman levels of virtue quite casually. I am not saying I have seen an animal who is on the whole virtuous, but, if you take a given virtue, in many cases it is taken to a dizzying height somewhere in the animal world. How can it be?
animals have simpler consciousness. however, in certain occassions and certain creatures animals can also have the same vices as human beings. Chimps have their own turf wars and acts of terrorism
I'm so glad I found this
Beautiful
I had a car that showed up at my house 8 months ago it died last month in front of my friends house I was sad it was my friend God gave me a dream last night that my cat new it was sick and it just wanted somebody to love her before it died I thank God that I did love her I still do rest in peace my friend!

Genesis 1:26
Then God said, " Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the eart."
Been wanting to learn about him
