The demon of unchastity is powerful and violently attacks those who struggle against passion, particulary if they are lax about matters of diet and often meet women. With the lubricity of sensual pleasure he imperceptively steals into the intellect and thereafter persecutes the hesychast by means of memory, setting his body on fire and presenting various forms to the intellect.  In this way he evokes his assent to sin.  If you do not want these forms to linger in you, turn again to fasting, labour, vigils and blessed stillness with intense prayer. (Maximos the Confessor)

A vow of chastity has been undertaken. The purpose of the hesychast (Greek hesychos = quiet) in undertaking the vow is more ambitious than most.  Through ascetic detachment from the world, profound prayer, and a perfect repose of mind and body he seeks to see the uncreated light of God.

Temptation arises from memory, abstract conceptualization, sensuality, and opportunity.  It has, apparently, almost nothing to do with the woman presently at hand.  The encounter with the other is sufficiently fraught and so brief, that it is almost certainly nothing more than an expression of lust.

I am tempted by the example of the hesychast. This tradition explicitly seeks the light of the Transfiguration.  Yet following his Transfiguration, while Peter sought to preserve the mystic moment, Jesus left the mountain to heal, teach, and fulfill his purpose in relationship with God and his neighbors.
