However it leads us to the Nestorian mystics for whom the "limpid place" is the opposite of the place of passions. Isaac of Nineveh explains its meaning: limpidity is the starting point of the way of life of the new man. Joseph Hazzaya has systematized this teaching - for him the spiritual life contains three degrees: "corporal", followed by "psychical" which leads to limpidity which in turn leads to the "spiritual" degree which is the summit of the ascent of Zion. When the monk is favoured by a visitation of Divine Grace he is in the place of limpidity and he is not obliged to attend divine service; this idea goes back to Evagrius but the apophthegm is of a Syriac monastic provenance."
