Quote

Now rejoice, all ye powers of my soul, that you are so united with God that no one may separate you from Him. I cannot fully praise nor love Him therefore must I die, and cast myself into the divine void, till I rise from non-existence to existence.

Meister Eckhart

What good is it that Christ was born [2,000] years ago if he is not born now in your heart?
Meister Eckhart
Image
As long as I am this or that, or have this or that, I am not all things and I have not all things. Become pure till you neither are nor have either this or that then you are omnipresent and, being neither this nor that, are all things.
Meister Eckhart
Image

Image
I may err but I am not a heretic, for the first has to do with the mind and the second with the will!

Meister Eckhart
Image
Only those who have dared to let go can dare to re-enter.
Meister Eckhart
Image
You will have peace to the extent that you have God, and the further you are away from God the less you will be at peace... Thus you may measure your progress with God by measuring your peace or the lack of it.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Everything is meant to be lost, that the soul may stand in unhampered nothingness
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is not good, or else he could do better.
Meister Eckhart
Image
There are plenty to follow our Lord half-way, but not the other half. They will give up possessions, friends and honors, but it touches them to closely to disown themselves.
Meister Eckhart
Image
To the quiet mind all things are possible.
Meister Eckhart
