Please share your experience of regaining spiritual zeal

After long periods of numbness. I for many years have been going through a bit of darkness and though I think about God often I don't feel respite from numbness and I feel blocked from praying also. I want to be set in fire for Jesus Christ again so wanted to hear your experiences of how you came back your spiritual zeal. I don't want to go on a path where I become unseasonable salt.

Miaphysitism and unification

If on oriental orthodox side it is believed after the agreement that both orthodox churches believe in the same essential truth, just differently expressed, why aren't anyone then letting go of the theology behind it like opposition to tome of leo etc since oo are prepared to unite (I think last the unification only failed because of mount athos monks). And can if we truly believe in the agreement be part of the byzantine faith if that's available to us. How about the catholic?

Hesychasm confusion

I find hesychasm too esoteric and kinda gnostic, in the sense only certain people attain to it. I don't understand because reading from the scripture the tabor light of Christs glory may have been his divinity and glory not necessarily saying that it's something we must work to experience, because I've read the apostles epistles and apostolic fathers and personally did not find them advocating such a taborian light through repeated prayer thing which doesn't make sense because I've been told it is basically the essence of orthodox faith, not something we can doctrinally dismiss. Is it actually mentioned in early early texts somewhere because if it was such an important thing, wouldn't they have made sure to teach their disciples? Am I missing something? Is actually somplace? Thanks

I have this hat in the pic and love wearing it but can't find color or style variations perhaps the hat name is wrong?

On shopping site it was simply labelled beret hat. I'm in India and don't know too much about hats. Thanks for any help.

What does it mean to take on nature

I'm confused with things - humans have a single nature composite of soul and body, God has a simple nature of spirit, Christ has a single nature composite of spirit and the composite of human soul-body nature? I don't really understand what nature is, is it abstract, are we just loaves of bread in God's bakery? Where is our place inside God. Could someone suggest a simple explanatory video that explains these basic oriental orthodox things first rather than the complex miaphysite and other theology. Thanks people.

Does a bishop have final authority?

In the Bible, Christ grants the apostles authority to forgive sins, whatsoever you bind on earth, it is bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth is loosed in heaven, that sins may be retained or forgiven. Does this apply only to confession or can the bishop forgive ALL sins like Christ did, for instance how he said Today a son of Abraham has found salvation? I'm worried because I want my pagan family to be saved yet the gospel I read where I only see the echoes of the filial love of Christ who will never leave us even unto end of the world is different from what the church seems to say where for instance I know there are conflicting views but there used to be ancient beliefs where unbaptized do not attain paradise. I just do not want to stay in confusion.
