Image
And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The soul will bring forth Person if God laughs into her and she laughs back to him. To speak in parable, the Father laughs into the Son and the Son laughs back to the Father and this laughter breeds liking and liking breeds joy, and joy begets love, and love begets Person, and Person begets the Holy Ghost.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Above all else, know this: Be prepared at all times for the gifts of God and be ready always for new ones. For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is bound to act, to pour himself out (into thee) as soon as ever he shall find thee ready.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is at his greatest when I am at my least.
Meister Eckhart
Image
No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The soul does not grow by addition but by subtraction.
Meister Eckhart
Image
If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.' That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The man who has submitted his will and purposes entirely to God, carries God with him in all his works and in all circumstances.
Meister Eckhart
Image
When someone goes out of himself to find God or fetch God, he is wrong.
Meister Eckhart
Image
I maintain that all sorrow comes from love of those things of which loss deprives me.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Stillness is where creativity and solutions are found.
Meister Eckhart
Image
In this breaking-through, I receive that God and I are one. Then I am what I was, and then I neither diminish nor increase, for I am then an immovable cause that moves all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image
The very best and highest attainment in this life is to remain still and let God act and speak in you.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God holds each of us by a string. When we sin, we cut the string. But God ties it up again, making a knot. Each time our wrongdoing cuts the string, God ties another knot drawing us up closer to Him.
Meister Eckhart
Image
I need to be silent for awhile, worlds are forming in my heart.
Meister Eckhart
Image
In my breaking through...I transcend all creatures and am neither God nor creature...for in this breaking through I find that God and I are both the same.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Do not think that saintliness comes from occupation it depends rather on what one is. The kind of work we do does not make us holy but we may make it holy. However “sacred” a calling may be, as it is a calling, it has no power to sanctify.
Meister Eckhart
Image
This is my only and permanent complaint, that vulgar people, empty of the Spirit of God, want to judge solely by their human thinking what they listen to or read in the Bible, which has been pronounced and written by the Holy Spirit and in the Holy Spirit.
