hello and welcome to another production

of the spring house at delaford Abbey my

name is dr. Andrew dal Rossi and I am

the director of the spirituality Center

here at the Abbey today as we reflect on

the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

we will look at this devotion through

the visionary eyes of mystic priest and

paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de

Chardin

taylored envisions evolution as the

process by which creation is growing in

its relationship with God and at the

culmination of this process the divine

will be fully manifest through creation

now tared lived during a time of much

social upheaval much global change much

like the time in which we are living now

therefore we will take a look at tares

devotion to the Sacred Heart and look at

how that might inspire us in our own

faith lives to grow closer and God in

this day and age we will do today's talk

over the course of three parts the first

part we'll take a look at some general

biographical information on Taylor who

he was as a person as well as looking at

the general outline of his thought

second we will look at Tara's unique

devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

and how this inspired him to work

through the struggles and difficulties

that he found himself immersed within

third we will take a look at white a

ARDS devotion to the Sacred Heart is

particularly irrelevant today in our own

time of social upheaval and change and

we will look at how his larger vision

can inspire us to have an equally

radically optimistic and hopeful vision

of the future so let us begin with a

brief biographical sketch a tear and a

general outline of this thought Terah

was born in France in 1881 to a devout

Catholic mother and a father who was an

amateur naturalist therefore it was

quite organic for him to seek God in

both of these experiences as he would

eventually be a professed member a

priest within the Society of Jesus as

well as go on to pursue

and complete his doctoral degree in

paleontology tared in his early life as

a professional was a profound educator

he taught physics and chemistry at the

Jesuit College of the Holy Family in

Cairo in Egypt as well as lecturing at

the Catholic Institute in Paris he also

headed the geology lab at the Museum of

Natural History in Paris along with

serving as a stretcher bearer in World

War 1 now when you think of a mystic you

think of someone who has a deep ability

to perceive an intimacy with God with

the divine within one's life and when

you think of tared and the true

renaissance person that he was and the

many angles which he saw life from and

the acute detail that he was searching

for and all these experiences you almost

wonder how could this guy not be a

mystic he was looking at reality from so

many different angles as a priest as a

scientist as a soldier as a friend as a

writer as a traveller how could one not

have a multi-dimensional perspective

vision of the divine and creation but

anyway we can see that the circumstances

of Tara's life would eventually direct

him and his trajectory to a sort of

Exile in China where he was confined to

doing his paleontological research

looking at the earth for bones for rocks

for anything that evidence previous

civilizations and what we can learn from

them but he was forbidden from writing

spiritually because his eye his ideas

were so ahead of their time during the

period in which they were written there

were many who got excited about his work

yeah there were also many who were very

skeptical and hesitant about it so

that's another presentation for another

day but what we can learn from this

experience was that in terror taking

that struggle head-on in him engaging in

that experience in China of a sort of

isolation and the for sort of retreat in

the desert he was able to in a sense

have himself be open so as to

experienced the divine and a greater

clarity now when we think of Tara's work

we have to think of his work as

happening in spheres this comes

- his Christology this comes to his

because cosmology but really the two are

kind of one in the same and we'll see

would what I mean by that when we take a

look at a diagram here so when we say

that Tara's theory of evolution and his

scientific outlook on the world along

with his Christological vision when we

say that they work in spheres we can

look to our own planet Earth here as an

example we see that Earth begins as its

liquid molten core this core over time

cools it solidifies enough as to create

a crust around that liquid Center and

then eventually with the advent of the

hydrosphere or the layer water that

encircles the earth we see that the

conditions become ripe for life to burst

forth in the biosphere all our all the

flora and fauna that we experience now

are but a fraction of what has existed

and prehistoric times up until now and

this layer of evolution was not the

final layer salt aired but only a

threshold on to the next layer which he

calls the newest fear it's Herod was

instrumental in Co developing this idea

of the newest fear or the layer of mine

which encircles the earth we can see

here the progression from the cellular

level all the way up to this level of

mine in which the human person is able

to communicate in a way that was in a

way a scene early on and what we could

identify as social networks right we see

beehives we see ant colonies which

manifest these characteristics that we

see now so real and apparent and the

house all items in in the human world

today when we talk about social media

and global connection things like that

that's all part of the new OU sphere or

thor this cognitive layer that surrounds

the earth now tared says that newest

fear is not even the final layer of

creation is not the final layer of

evolution because we can see maybe only

in glimpses at times but there is

another layer beyond mine we could say

that this is a layer of God a layer of

divinity and that when the newest fear

matures and evolves enough humanity

through our consciousness the fact that

we are self conscious makes

a phenomenon says tarde we know that we

know humanity has the ability to see

that there is another emerging layer

beyond the new Oh sphere which tailored

called the do sphere or the Theo sphere

even termed the Christos sphere this is

the layer of evolution in which God is

fully manifest within the consciousness

of the planet within the consciousness

of humanity inhabiting that planet now

this Theo sphere concept is perhaps more

commonly known within the thought of

terra de chardin as the omega point the

omega point is the endpoint and creation

says tailored it's the maximum point of

complexity and consciousness from the

earliest stages of cosmic evolution we

can see how the increase in complexity

from the combining of simple molecules

and atoms forming more complex

structures over the course of time has

resulted in also the rise of

consciousness the more that those

smaller parts have come together to form

larger holes the more those larger holes

have become conscious so that we have a

human person made up of trillions of

bacteria trillions of viruses and fungi

within ourselves within our on top of

our skin that eventually concrescence to

form an organism wait so like I said and

which tared was so enamored by is

self-aware now this great self-awareness

says Toyota leads us to believe in what

is known as or what he calls the Cosmic

Christ the Cosmic Christ encapsulates

Christ's nature is not just a typical

hypostatic nature of being both human

and divine but being human divine and

cosmic everything every star every atom

within the cosmos is bound together in

Christ and for Tailored he calls this

the Cosmic Christ this is the

teleological attractor at the end of

time which is pulling history pulling

evolution in toward a kind of ultimate

point of meaning and relationship now

this thought may seem overly optimistic

this may seem incredibly radical as it

certainly does in a timing

we see you know much tension within our

world however you have to understand

that is because tailored looks because

of teh ARDS experience with death and

with struggle and of course his belief

in the Paschal mystery that he was able

to have such a erratically optimistic

and hopeful vision of the future so as

we move away from Tara's biographical

sketch in an outline of his thought we

step toward his devotion to the Sacred

Heart cares devotion to the Sacred Heart

was to a different image than was

traditionally held by many Jesuits

during the time the Jesuits had

commissioned what is known as the pitoni

image so this would have been common the

four members of the society to carry

with them and hold a devotion to however

in 1921 and a French artist by the name

of Henry Penta who was known for

religious paintings along with mosaics

and stained glass developed an image of

rendition of the Sacred Heart that was

much different instead of the pitoni

image which kind of focused on the

humanists of the heart it's bloody

characteristics the Penta image focuses

more on the light which emerges from

Christ's Center out of his heart using

the the technique of chiaroscuro Penta

shows how a certain contrast can create

this light effect where it shows an

emanating radiating light out of

Christ's center that Forte art much more

accurately captured what he understood

to be Christ as not so much the using

the antiquated language of sin and

sentimentality that sort of mediator

which brings us to wholeness but instead

a cosmic fire a cosmic fire which burns

within each human person burns within

the collective of humanity and burns

huachen within the entire cosmos that

brings all of the universe into being

and into fulfillment in God no this

vision for tear it is definitely part of

what inspired his radical and optimistic

vision for the future however it's

important to note that this vision of

the Sacred Heart for Tara and the

devotion

he held himself to with this was

something that took many many years to

crystallize and develop for him it was

in 1916 that tared first documented his

experience with the Sacred Heart this

was at a time in his life when he was

very depressed very distraught he was

caught in the throes of the trenches of

the First World War as a stretcher

bearer witnessing hell on earth around

him he finds a moment of Solace and

solitude he finds himself praying in a

chapel and then experience is a profound

mystic vision in which he finds Christ's

presence radiating throughout all of

creation all I know is that as I let my

eyes roam over the outlines of the

picture I suddenly realized that they

were melting they were melting but in a

very special way that I find it

difficult to describe when I tried to

distinguish the drawing of the person of

Christ the lines seem to be sharply

defined and then if I relaxed my visual

concentration the whole of Christ's

outline the folds of his robe the bloom

of his skin merged though without

disappearing into all the rest he might

have said that the edge which divided

Christ from the surrounding world was

changing into a layer of vibration in

which all distinct delimitation was lost

first I noticed that the vibrant

atmosphere which formed halo around

Christ was not confined to a narrow

strip encircling him but radiated into

infinity from time to time would seem to

be trails of phosphorescence streamed

across it in which could be seen a

continuous pulsing surge which reached

out to the furthest fears of matter

forming a sort of crimson ganglion or

nervous network running across every

substance the whole universe was

vibrating and yet when I tried to look

at the details one by one I found them

still all sharply drawn their individual

characters still intact all this

movement seemed to emanate from Christ

from his heart in particular and it was

while I was trying to find my way back

to the source of this affluence and

determine its rhythm that my attention

returned to the portrait itself and then

I saw the vision rapid

now to its climax at nighttime you have

often seen some stars that change the

quality of their light at one moment

they are blood-red beads and then they

take on the shimmer of purple velvet

similarly you have seen the colors of

the rainbow float in a transparent

bubble it was thus that the light and

the colors of all the beauties we know

shone with an inexpressible iridescent

over the face of Jesus itself unmoved I

cannot say whether it was an expression

of my own wishes or whether it was the

choice of him who determined and knew my

tastes but one thing I know that these

countless modifications instinct' with

majesty sweetness and irresistible

appeal followed one another in

succession were transformed melted into

one another in a harmony that was

utterly satisfying to me the

scintillation of beauties was so total

so all-embracing and at the same time so

Swift that it reached down into the very

powerhouse of my being flooding through

it in one surge so that my whole self

vibrated to the very core of me with a

full note of explosive bliss that was

completely and utterly unique

[Music]

you

however it was not until 1939 that air

would come to describe the heart of the

risen Christ as the omega point so this

shows us that tears journey with this

devotion took many forms over many years

and had to change in order to meet what

he found to be most personal within his

spiritual life that allowed him to feel

this personal connection with the risen

Christ with Christ Omega who was

bringing all of creation into wholeness

through his very being for tared

this image of the Sacred Heart Pintas in

particular helped him to reconcile the

two different directions that he felt

his life being pulled in as a scientist

and as a priest he felt like he was

heading in two contradictory ways so

much though that he was seeking the we

could say it the upward movement of the

infinite in his spiritual pursuits as

well as the forward progression of

evolution so if you picture this as a

graph of sorts where you have the upward

movement and then the forward movement

traoré couldn't find himself siding with

one or the other but instead created a

third way on the diagonal is to use our

graph model where this way was to

encounter the infinite the all the

absolute by going through evolution and

christ for terra de was at the center of

this the Cosmic Christ was who was

holding this entire process of evolution

of catastrophe of growth of diminishment

of triumph coming together becoming more

whole and growing more conscious as to

be able to express this living reality

of God present within us tailored rights

under the symbol of the Sacred Heart the

divine assumed for me the form the

strength and the properties of an energy

of a fire through its power to become

universal this fire proved able to

invade and impregnate with love the

whole atmosphere of the world in which I

lived tears

devotion to the Sacred Heart his

devotion through this image by Henry

paint in particular this image which

really focuses on that contrast of the

light and darkness was what enabled him

to see two things going forward the

first was that he believed that this

image or what this image signified the

deeper meaning of Christ being that

central fire devolution

he saw this as the next stage in the

devotion itself second he also saw this

as the next stage this light emanating

forth of Christ consciousness from the

human person sanctifying divine izing

the world as the next stage in the

evolution of Christianity and that's

where we are called to participate

within the great work as co-creators

within evolution and now we will move

toward the third and final part of our

presentation the significance of the

devotion of the Sacred Heart

and tears thought today again tared live

during a time where there was a growing

and global awareness of mass social

upheaval it was the first world war and

taylored was particularly exposed to the

horrors of the situation by being within

the trenches himself yes yet within that

experience he was deeply inspired he saw

the swarms of humanity moving the

different formations of troops on the

battlefield as to resemble different

patterns which he saw already present

within nature he saw that like the many

bees which come together to form a hive

which interacts synergistically and

symbiotically with its environment the

human person was also capable of

channeling its focus toward a higher

goal and because Tailored had the

upbringing he did because he had the

experiences he had he was prone to see

this hole as the Cosmic Christ which was

drawing all of creation to himself now

this was hard for Te'o to express during

his lifetime he definitely faced a lot

of backlash from within his own within

his own society as well as from Rome

however he also found an audience of

people open-minded like himself

with their gaze focused on the future

and how they could participate in that

really embraced his vision and were the

poor veilleux's of this vision into the

future as there were restrictions on

Terra publishing his works during the

time of his life

therefore as we go forward personally

now as it people to engage with in the

world we take with us the vision that

Terra leaves us that in experiencing the

Paschal mystery there is great hope

there is a room and there's a necessity

for that radical optimism that he sees

taking place I'd like this prick to

present this in a way so as to play a

little off of what we see in the world

is a general social commentary in so

much as that we are left with a choice

we are left with the choice is tailored

as to choose the poll that we wish to

turn to turn our gaze to tared sees

within the nose fear as a potential

bifurcation happening or or a splitting

there are two poles of consciousness

which terraces that we might as a human

people gravitate toward and the one is

that of denial despair fear and

isolation this is something that is all

too real for us now as we flick on the

news as we swipe open our social media

and we are just bombarded with a barrage

of different videos and images and texts

that immediately trigger chemical

responses within us whether they be

releases of dopamine and make us feel

good about what was just sad or happened

or just a total flooding of stress

hormones the good old soul stressed and

tensed up and angry and self-righteous

and I think this kind of encapsulates

what terror talks about in terms of

seeing the whole picture that is the

Christ that tared

drew from from the scriptures from

Colossians in particular where Paul

talks about all being held together all

all being held together all opinions all

peoples all different ends of the

spectrum from how we should live our

lives to how we should not live our

lives all are held together in Christ

and this was the perspective that tared

continually was reminded of through his

devotion to the Sacred Heart and through

his own participation within the

strugglings

within the struggles of his life and

within the larger struggles of the world

around him so much so that in this

splitting of the newest fear we see how

we can turn our gaze toward hope and

optimism or we can easily turn it toward

that of despair and isolation and

desolation and death and depression and

while that is a part of the picture it

is very important to acknowledge within

this that has the larger collective of

humanity much like the bees that swarm

together to create a functional and

healthy hive and much like those forces

which tear it's all swarming together in

formation on the battlefield the entire

collective of humanity says tarde has

the ability to rise to consciousness

rise to embody that great reality of

Christ living within us tear it says

within his seminal work the phenomenon a

man to be able to say literally to God

that one loved him not only with one

with all one's body all one's heart and

all one's soul but with every fiber of

the unifying universe that is a prayer

that can only be made in space time and

so we have through that very person of

Jesus of Nazareth that manifestation of

that prayer with in space time tear goes

back to the scripture and says as early

as in st. Paul and st. John we read that

to create to fulfill and to purify the

world is for God to unify it by uniting

it organically with himself

how does he unify it by partially

immersing himself in things by becoming

element and then from this point of

Vantage in the heart of matter assuming

the control and leadership of what we

now call evolution organically with

himself Jesus comes into history and

then gives us this message of redemption

and really of transformation and of

ascension to a higher level of

consciousness and a higher way of being

present within this world

Kayode writes christian love is

incomprehensible to those who have not

experienced it that the infinite and the

intangible can be lovable or that the

human heart can beat with genuine

charity for a fellow being seems

impossible to many people I know

and that's because unless we have been

consciously able to engage and enter

into our own personal struggles and

sufferings the Paschal mystery becomes

very difficult to know it becomes very

difficult to encounter and if one is

unable to do that within their own

personal life it becomes incredibly

difficult for one to have a larger

perspective about the whole of humanity

and how all of these efforts which we

are going through globally are moving

and shaping our existence and our

reality on this planet has to reflect

what is intrinsic within us and for

Tailored that is the Cosmic Christ that

is that heart that beats at the centre

of the universe is that burning fire

that brought us into being continues to

bring us to fullness and wholeness in

God tared says the human group is in

fact turning by planetary arrangement

and convergence of all elemental

terrestrial reflections towards a second

critical pole of reflection of a

collective and higher order and with

that first pole of reflection being in

upon ourselves the second pole is within

the collective we within the collective

body of humanity and the collective body

of Christ that is expressed through

humanity embracing its humaneness

embracing its struggle embracing the

reality of death so has to be

transformed by that reality into a more

luminous being of transformation upon

the earth while tared was in the

trenches he was also often referred to

by his fellow soldiers as the smiling

scientists although he had a deep

internal battle with doubt despair and

particularly depression especially when

he was within the trenches of the war he

was always seen by his peers as being

incredibly optimistic and this was

because it's credited and I can't tell

you exactly where but that when terror

was presented with this idea of dying he

just kind of said when I die I'll go to

a different frequency

and that's something that might take us

into the realm of quantum physics to be

able to explore entirely however we can

see here that we certainly change

frequencies when we come to that larger

realization that our struggles and our

sufferings within our own personal lives

and within the collective of humanity

are molding and shaping us in terms of

being able to be transformed into

something that is more indicative and

more expressive of that heart of Christ

within the heart of matter so as we go

forward today we take Tara's vision with

us and it's an important adage to

remember which comes from tared often

attributed to him yet sometimes hard to

find a citation on his affirmation that

we are not human beings having a

spiritual experience we are spiritual

beings having a human experience and in

so much as Taryn sees they were cosmos

being problematic because it implies a

static state to the universe

he says Cosmo Genesis is in fact the

more appropriate term it describes the

fact that we are in an act of becoming

that Cosmo Genesis becomes the spiritual

evolution and that spiritual evolution

says terror becomes a crystal Genesis so

today as we reflect and we celebrate the

Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus we

ask God for the openness to be able to

enter into our own lives we ask God for

the openness so that we might be greater

aware of God's presence within our own

life within the lives around us and

within the world that we all exist on

thank you so much and have a great feast

day
