John Tyler - Different Degrees of Kenosis?

"To encounter him, we must also empty ourselves. Through such kenosis, we provide a space in which he can appear. Self-emptying is, in other words, a form of receptivity" (Mensch 67). 

Mensch describes the term kenosis as a self-emptying and surrendering of one’s will to God’s divine will.  This is ultimately depicted in the life of Christ when He emptied Himself to become an obedient servant to the Father’s will.  This action, according to Mensch, perfectly embodies receptivity to God’s creative action.  With Christ as the Mediator, the sacred is to be related to by both self-emptying and receptivity.  Through openness and kenosis, one can create space for the Holy Spirit to fill and manifest.  God creates a dwelling place in man by breathing out His Spirit.  In this ‘spirit filling’ man’s preoccupation with the self is transformed into a preoccupation with God.  The ego is lowered while the Wholly Other is lifted. 

The Oxford American Dictionary defines kenosis as the renunciation of the divine nature, at least in part, by Christ in the Incarnation.  Is Mensch using a different definition of kenosis or would he ascribe divine nature to man?  Are there different degrees of kenosis such as that of the incarnation vs. the surrendering of one's will?
