On Creating a Pure Mind - First Edition (artifact)
'On Creating a Pure Mind' is one of dozens of books written by the Agionist Saint Katharitos. Focusing on how to train ones mind to be free of impurity such as hatred and doubt and to maintain a positive outlook on life, many of the suggestions in the book seem to outright contradict most of Agionist canon.
This first edition is an extremely rare and often destroyed copy written in the Saint's own hand, making it explicitly clear how much his own views differ from the modern interpretation. One of the most notable verses says, "To focus your mind is not to fall into the clutches of magic or to remove all thoughts of compassion and kindness. It is to remain open to new ideas, to be eager in your experience of foreign ways, and to maintain the purety of thought to take in strange and disagreeable views and discover the fellow human who speaks them."
