	The Ecole Glossary
		Influenced by Origen and Gregory of Nyssa, Evagrius taught that the goal of man is reunion with God, which man effects through asceticism and contemplation.
		However, Evagrius also believed that the original unity of God and His rational beings was broken by a fault of the beings, who became souls and were later joined to bodies.
		Evagrius taught that Christ was the only one of the rational beings to stay with God when the others lapsed and took a body to lead other souls to a similar unity with God.

		Evagrius accepts the Platonic doctrine that "like can only be known by l Gike", according to Father John Eudes Bamberger (xc), and thus Evagrius believes that the intellect must be stripped absolutely naked, so to speak, of all the passions and limiting concepts that have their source in the material world.
		Evagrius distinguishes between human thoughts, angelic thoughts, and demonic thoughts: the first, he says, are merely images of certain objects, and the second are the thoughts by which one seeks out the inner essences of the objects, while the third, demonic thoughts, are appetites for the acquisition of the objects (Discrimination 42-43).
		Evagrius elsewhere says that three of these eight logismoi and their respective demons constitute the "front line" of attack upon the intellect, and that, unless one gives in to one of these three, either gluttony, avarice, or vainglory, one will not be attacked by any of the others (Discrimination 38).

	Evagrius
		So, the monastic life for Evagrius is not only the struggle to rid the self of all evil and ignorance, but also the monk is to establish in the soul virtue and knowledge, through prayer and contemplation.
		Evagrius may have been the intellectual forebearer of the hesychast tradition, with his emphasis on pure intellectual contemplation and strict asceticism aimed at freeing the monk from passions to attain 'apatheia'.
		Since Evagrius was condemned by the Fifth Ecumenical Council in 553, for his Origenist thought and some of his more speculative writings, many people fail to recognize the influence of Evagrian spirituality on the more Orthodox theologians that followed.

		Thus no examination of Gregory and Evagrius' ascetic philosophies would be complete without a look at the strongest common element in their respective philosophical backgrounds, i.e., the influence exerted on both of them by the great third-century theologian, Origen of Alexandria.
		The seeds of much of what Evagrius says about asceticism and prayer and virtue are here already in Origen; Evagrius has only to pick them out, polish them up, and push them one step further.
		Evagrius, like Origen, stresses the importance of self-knowledge, although he provides something more of a descriptive psychology to help one acquire it.
