The Phenomenology of Prayer
Kenosis prayer is a very big topic in The Phenomenology of
Prayer. Here is an excerpt from the book. “How could
there be a vibrant religious life without the practice of prayer? In both
theistic and nontheistic traditions, religious followers are generally
counseled to steadfast prayer – to pray “without ceasing.” Without
prayer, religious sensibility would likely atrophy and perhaps die. Yet
what makes prayer so essential to a life of faith?
Praying
is a big part of my everyday life, but it is not too often that I completely
empty my head and find my true self through prayer. Kenosis prayer is when one
is completely focused without being focused. It is when you empty everything
and finding your center. Emptying ones self can lead to a spiritual
transformation.
