# Uncreated Energies Vs Beautification If you accept both creationism and essence-energies, there comes the distinction between created energies vs uncreated energies. The purpose of Hesychasm is to meet the uncreated energies. The Tabor Light. But if you accept emanationism instead, everything except monad simply becomes god's energy. Then there could be two approaches. One is denying all the energies to reach monad. The Gnostic way. The other is following and improving energies as god's will. To reach monad. Like Goethe's opinion that you should explore the world to know thyself. Also Grothendieck. The Hermetic way. I think if the former was god's plan, humanity does not need to exist in the first place. So beautify the world. Instead of dismissing it. That's what alchemy means. Transform everything into gold. Though I still highly appreciate practices like Lent. But it is not to dismiss the world. It is truly to appreciate Pascha by purifying ownself.
