Theosis
Theosis may refer to:
Theosis (Eastern Orthodox theology)
In Eastern Orthodoxy deification (theosis) is a transformative process whose goal is likeness to or union with God. As a process of transformation, theosis is brought about by the effects of katharsis (purification of mind and body) and theoria ('illumination' with the 'vision' of God). According to Eastern Orthodox teaching, theosis is very much the purpose of human life. It is considered achievable only through a synergy (or cooperation) between human activity and God's uncreated energies (or operations).
According to Metropolitan Hierotheos Vlachos, the primacy of theosis in Orthodox theology is directly related to the fact that Orthodox theology (as historically conceived by its principal exponents) is based to a greater extent than Western Catholic Latin theology on the direct spiritual insights of the saints or mystics of the church rather than the apparently more rational thought tradition of the West. Eastern Orthodox consider that "no one who does not follow the path of union with God can be a theologian".

Hey Shifty Don't Miss
by: They Say I SayBring it back!
And I would do anything for a letter from you
I never thought things would go this way
What should I say
Never thought they would pull my name
What should I say?
I'll find a way to write you back someday
What should I say
Never thought they would pull my name
What should I say?
Say what you know
Bottle it up and give me what you say
What do you need from me?
Call my name without my face, it means nothing to you
You don't know what I do, but you don't really care
This is nothing like home
And I don't feel right
Take me away
Bring on the war!
I never thought things would go this way
What should I say
Never thought they would pull my name
What should I say?
I'll find a way to write you back someday
What should I say
Never thought they would pull my name
What should I say?
You know what you have done
Don't try to lie
You sent me back where I came from
The lights don't look so bad from here
With you name strapped to my chest
