Background on Evagrius Ponticus
In his own words on Exodus
- Exodus 3:5
If Moses, when he attempted to draw near the burning bush, was prohibited until he should remove the shoes from his feet, how should you not free yourself of every thought that is colored by passion seeing that you wish to see One who is beyond every thought and perception?
