Lift up thy lanthorn, and thou shalt see in this image five windows, by which sin cometh into thy soul, as the Prophet saith: Death cometh in by our windows. These are the five senses by which thy soul goeth out of herself, and fetcheth her delight, and seeketh her feeding in earthly things, contrary to the nobility of her own nature. As by the eye to see curious and fair things, and so of the other senses. By the unskilful using of these senses willingly to vanities, thy soul is much letted from the sweetness of the spiritual senses within; and therefore it behoveth thee to stop these windows, and shut them, but only when need requireth to open them. (John Climacus)

I would simply agree, if Climacus advocated cleaning the windows, oiling their hinges, and restoring the wood.

I would probably defer if Climacus commended new insulated windows with double-pane, gas-infused glass.

To shut up the windows, to stop using them, strikes me as starving - rather than saving - the soul.

Unskilful using - leaving wide open in winter or shutting tight in summer - is a problem.

God gave us the senses, they are much of who we are, to open them to God and neighbor cannot in itself be wrong.
