thoughts on the fourth Sunday in Advent, Matthew 6:24
struck an exclusive deal for monks the pop industry. The singing Cistercian of Stift Heiligenkreuz made it even all the way up in the sales charts. Then there was also an appearance of two parties in this success with Thomas Gottschalk. From the incredible sales figures, the question was derived, whether because men are far more spiritual than commonly assumed, or by the chants of the monks, the spiritual core are brought in people? In fact, it is perhaps just that the marketing has done a particularly good job, and for this reason a small euphoria surrounding the Chant album was ...
Singing monks have bring no spiritual minds. Perhaps religious people, atheists and agnostics feel equally from the Beauty of the song attracted the soothes the soul and the mystery of life on the track is. A yearning for spirituality will be able to deny only a few people. Spirituality leads out to the people and their everyday problems. Spirituality is inner looking approach to the unexplained phenomena, the creation and living creatures allowed. Spiritual people have long since come out of themselves, and ready to accelerate organic growth, which does not depend on self-knowledge and self-satisfaction. Life is more than self-reflection and artificial economic growth. The Singing monks offer the audience an access to internal Growth opportunities beyond overly trodden paths. A door may be opened, but must follow the path of the man himself
Music can open hearts, music can reveal signal deep connection with life and of creation. Music can solve more than any other art internal blockages. It must not be singing monks. For two years, as I have seen the band live for the first time, I am essentially connected with the music of "Clover". The lead singer writes almost all the lyrics himself, and is responsible for the compositions. Lyrics and compositions fit together almost spooky congenial. This manifested already in the first album with the title song "Invulnerable".
Unbelievable, yes some are overwhelming the songs of their second album "honeysuckle". The inner sympathy with most songs blows me away almost from the stool. I think that every person reacts to certain types of music especially sensitive. Why is it with me, "clover" is why when - apparently - so many people, the Cistercian monks, is one of many mysteries awaiting a resolution.
Jesus was able to bring people - sometimes expressed metaphorically - to bring her inner music related. Any man can be heard in his own string to him through Life and deeper into being with. The most perfect harmony, the man can be heard in the leaves, it united with God. Jesus was deeply connected with God, and raised the relationship of man to God's most important asset. Well no, that is based on a substantive basis. Either God or mammon. * There are only two possibilities. When man, in most cases, chooses the Mammon, this leads to the terrible conditions as they exist now on Earth. Starving, freezing people. Destruction of crops, animals, plant species. Exploitation and degradation of people. Jesus was aware that everyone has a choice. It is up to each individual, the consequences its decision to consider, and in the case of the case might be to draw a different choice.
* "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You can not serve God and mammon "
-. Mt 6:24
