In its ancient understanding, technology (“techne” in Greek) is a form of spiritual knowledge and skill granted to humans by the divine for their empowerment. Although we tend to think of technology as its physical application, it universally originates from the spiritual realm. Therefore, the use of technology doesn’t just have physical repercussions but spiritual ones as well.

St. John of Damascus, in the “Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith,” writes:

“Prayer is the raising of one’s mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God. But when you pray, you should seek with your whole heart and not be slothful, employing a certain skill (techne) in the art of prayer.”

Because we are witnessing the continuous and exponential growth of technology, which will provide the type of power necessary to bring Transhumanism from a dystopian nightmare into reality.

The only viable response to transhumanism is to become truly human, to become by grace what God is by nature. As those around us are inevitably deceived into transforming their nature in accordance with the demons, Christians must be discerning and seek to become like God.
