This book is about the life lessons learned and experienced by the author during a pilgrimage to Mount Athos in Greece, one of the oldest surviving monastic communities in the world; an exclusive domain of monks and other holy men; a place molded in tradition, history, legend, and miracles. Known as the Holy Mountain, it remains fundamentally unchanged since the eighth century. The author visits a number of monasteries and learns from the monks, hermits, and other people he meets about the historical differences between the Christian religion in the East and West, the symbolism of the faith, the influence of paganism on Christianity, and the Byzantine Empire's art and iconography. Most importantly, immersed in this environment, he is confronted with some of the fundamental questions that we deal with on our lives' journeys over and over again. He is also introduced to the mystic side of an unfamiliar spiritual practice called "hesychia," a technique combining concentration with inward tranquility. The book merges elements of research, memoir, art, history, philosophy, and spirituality into a single story. What emerges is a fascinating and insightful account of a world that is entirely new to many Western readers.

Extending out from Northern Greece into the Aegean Sea are three peninsulas, one of which, Mount Athos, has been a monastic republic for over a thousand years. A pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain is a journey to the heart of Orthodox monasticism, and Father Spyridon takes us with him to hear words of ancient wisdom that may lead us into a deeper sense of God's presence. Father Ioakeim Oureilidis writes "This book is primarily a spiritual invitation through this paper object, that our Holy Mary, our Panagia, making good use of Fr Spyridon's skills and talents, extends to us all to visit her earthly home, the Holy Mountain, in order to be rejuvenated through faith and communication with the praying fathers and her grace."

Searching for forgotten Christian knowledge of man among the monks of Mount Athos, the Holy Mountain of Northern Greece... "Jesus said: 'Let him who seeks not cease seeking until he finds, and when he finds, he will be troubled, and when he has been troubled he will marvel, and he will reign over the All.'" (Gospel According to Thomas) DEDICATION: Spiritual men seek among the centuries-old forests of Athos for ten or a dozen holy men who are sanctified to replace a similar number in the hidden corners of Athos' forests and mountains. When these secret-saints die, it is said, ten or twelve new saints are formed, although at any time, only two of them become publicly known. I was blessed to meet one of them on a number of occasions, sometimes being able to find a translator of his Greek, sometimes being forced to learn through the language of love without detailed interpretation. Both ways, it seemed to me that I learned then 'by heart', not just in words, but in new understanding. - Robin Amis BACK COVER: Exploring the Holy Mountain is exploring oneself... Over the past several decades there have been numerous accounts written by travelers and pilgrims to Mount Athos in Northern Greece. Since its beginnings as a monastic republic before the 10th century AD, this narrow peninsula which protrudes for 50 kilometers into the Aegean Sea has captured the imagination of hundreds of writers, scholars, and pilgrims. To this day, there is a constant stream of visitors to its monasteries, which allow their doors to open to a limited number of visitors each day in order to preserve their time-honored way of life, and to protect it from tourism as well as curiosity-seekers looking for the new or exotic in their travels. Robin Amis began writing this book in the early '80's, when he first started visiting the Mountain regularly - visits which now total over 60. His first impressions of what he found there are encapsulated in this account of keenly observed descriptions of landscape and monasteries interspersed with deeply learned 'lessons' - truths brought home to the author by circumstances which so often evoked an inner response. It is these revelations which tie the book together - and as in all true revelations, they do not follow a logical sequential pattern - they come 'out of the blue', surfacing when another relevant memory calls them up into consciousness out of the depth of our being. This book, then, could really be called an 'inner journey', for which external details provide a kind of scaffolding on which to hang the various insights that keep on emerging all the way from the beginning of the book to its end. Views From Mount Athos, may be regarded as a 'travel book' - but it is also a many-layered journey - spiritual, philosophical, and psychological as much as physical. As Robin walks the narrow paths of the mountain from monastery to monastery, he finds himself increasingly detached from the noisy world of the West and travels the mountain tracks within himself. Among his guides on this journey was the blessed Elder Paisios (now Saint Paisios), from whom he learned the 'wisdom of the heart'. Though published near the end of his life, this book is actually his first; the manuscript lay forgotten for over twenty years while he developed his understanding of spiritual life for lay people in the modern world, expounded notably in his A Different Christianity: Early Christian Esotericism and Modern Thought (Praxis Institute Press, 2003).

This book examines the part played by monks of Mount Athos in the diffusion of Orthodox monasticism throughout Eastern Europe and beyond. It focuses on the lives of outstanding holy men in the history of Orthodoxy who have been drawn to the Mountain, have absorbed the spirit of its wisdom and its prayer, and have returned to the outside world, inspired to spread the results of their labours and learning. In a remarkable demonstration of what may be termed 'soft power' in action, these men have carried the image of Athos to all corners of the Balkan peninsula, to Ukraine, to the very far north of Russia, across Siberia and the Bering Strait into North America, and most recently (when traditional routes were closed to them by the curtain of communism) to the West. Their dynamic witness is the greatest gift of Athos to a world thirsting for spiritual guidance.
