LibriVox recording of What I Believe, by Leo Tolstoy; translated by Constantine Popoff.
Read by David Barnes.
"The inner working of my soul, which I wish to speak of here, was not the result of a methodical investigation of doctrinal theology, or of the actual texts of the gospel; it was a sudden removal of all that hid the true meaning of the Christian doctrine – a momentary flash of light, which made everything clear to me. It was something like that which might happen to a man who, after vainly attempting, by a false plan, to build up a statue out of a confused heap of small pieces of marble, suddenly guesses at the figure they are intended to form by the shape of the largest piece; and then, on beginning to set up the statue, finds his guess confirmed by the harmonious joining in of the various pieces." (Extract from Chapter 1)

Humanity could use this beautiful interpretation in 2022. We are living in a time where many of us will rediscover the Christ within ourselves as the mysteries unfold.

Saint Tolstoy had the intelligence of any 10 men.
I’m so glad it got put to this cause,
The efforts he made he made in this work during the latter part of his life are incredible.
