The path of inner transformation taught by Jesus was one of kenosis, from a Greek verb meaning “to let go” or “to empty oneself’: 

“Underlying all his teaching is a clarion call to a radical shift in consciousness:

away from the alienation and polarization of the egoic operating system and into the unified field of divine abundance that can be perceived only through the heart.”

Jesus Christ, who underwent a divine void, a letting go of divinity in order to be fully human (Phil.2), a kenosis, ( "...[he] emptied himself..." )

becomes the model and exemplar of what a “virgin”, that is a truly emptied person, is like.

A truly emptied person is so vulnerable to beauty and truth, to justice and compassion, that he or she becomes a truly hollow and hallowed channel for divine grace.
Jesus emptied and he was emptied, and thus he becomes a source of wisdom, a royal person, a prophet through who the divine word can gush and flow with intensity and sensitivity.

Through him God, the underground river, bursts above ground into human lives and human history. But only because Jesus, so fully grounded himself, is a hollow conduit in full contact with the divine source and wellspring underground. And we too are invited to be patterned after this same emptied and hollowed image of God.


Loving whatever God has handed you. 


This is the teaching of the Jesus Christ perfectly resonating with the message of the Buddha. Kenosis is the emptying of one’s own will and becoming entirely receptive to the Divine Will of God. It is active and dynamic. It moves from the inside out-milk poured from the pitcher, honey from the pot.

This reminds us of Buddhism’s Sunyata, or emptiness, that place of no-place, that source of no-source, that origin of no- origin, from which all things arise and to which they return.


Kenosis and Shunyata; by their fundamental nature, both are empty of self, both embody that bathwater maxim:
loving is about turning over, about letting go and giving away. And both connect us to the ceaseless flow between form and void, between everything and nothing. In this flow, all things are possible. The rise and fall are eternal. The only constant is change and subsequent transformation.


It is absolutely immaterial as to how you name this endless process/cycle of creation and destruction.

Allegri Miserere

@neoClassicMusik

Papal secrecy
Allegri’s Miserere was the last and the most popular of twelve different settings of the same text written for the Vatican over 120 years. It was so good that, to preserve the sense of mystery around the music, the Pope forbade anyone from transcribing it, on pain of excommunication. Only three copies were made: one for the Holy Roman Emperor, one for the King of Portugal, and one for an eminent music scholar — but these versions were so simplified from the original that the King of Portugal actually complained. The Pope wanted to keep its genius a secret — and so it remained for over 100 years.

Wolfgang’s trip to Rome
What the Pope hadn’t planned for was Leopold Mozart’s trip to Rome in 1770; and, more specifically, the attendance of his 14-year-old son, Wolfgang Amadeus.

The Mozarts popped into the Wednesday service at the Vatican, at which the Miserere was being performed. A couple of hours later, back at home, the young Wolfgang proceeded to transcribe the entire piece from memory. He went back on Friday to make a couple of corrections — and the Vatican’s secret was out.

Happy Easter

While you’re biting the heads off your chocolate bunnies this weekend, you might wonder how cartoon rabbits became so central to our Easter celebrations. It’s tempting to assume that because there’s no biblical basis for the Easter Bunny, rabbits and hares have no religious significance – but that’s just not the case.
