There is an invisible life, the life of the soul.
This is very powerful and can have effect on the other, even if we are miles apart.
This also happens with the curse, which is a power that works evil.
But if, conversely, we pray with love for someone, whatever the distance that seperates us, the good is transmitted. So distances do not affect the power of good and evil. We can transmit these across boundless distances.
Solomon the Wise says this very thing: ‘The noise of murmurings shall not be hidden.’
The noise of our soul is transmitted mysteriously and affects the other, even if we don’t say a word.
Even without speaking we can transmit good or evil, irrespective of the distance which seperates us from our neighbour.
What is not expressed generally has greater power than words.
Elder Porphyrios
