Meister Eckhart

Meister Eckhart
Image
The seed of God is in us. If the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to God whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of God. Now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of God into God.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
When the Soul wants to experience something she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Meister Eckhart
