It is in the darkness that one finds the light.
Meister Eckhart
The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories, your attachments.
They burn them all away, but they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul.
If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away.
If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth.
Meister Eckhart
Meister Eckhart: A 13th-Century Mystic and Theologian
Meister Eckhart was a German theologian, philosopher, and mystic who lived in the 13th century. Born around 1260 in Hochheim, Germany, Eckhart was a Dominican friar who taught at the University of Paris and later became the Provincial of the Dominican Order in Germany. He is considered one of the most important figures in the history of Christian mysticism, and his teachings have had a profound impact on western spirituality.
Early life and education
Eckhart was born into a noble family and was educated at the University of Paris, where he studied theology and philosophy. He became a Dominican friar at the age of 17 and quickly rose through the ranks of the order, becoming a master of theology and a professor at the University of Paris. During his time at the university, Eckhart was heavily influenced by the works of Aristotle and the Scholastic philosophers, which shaped his understanding of God and the nature of reality. He was particularly drawn to the teachings of Thomas Aquinas, who emphasized the importance of reason and the use of Aristotelian philosophy to understand Christian doctrine.
Mystical Teachings
Eckhart's most famous teachings are his mystical writings, which emphasize the importance of direct experience of God and the unity of aLL things. He believed that the goal of human life was to attain union with God, which he called "the birth of the soul." To achieve this, Eckhart advocated for a radical detachment from worldly attachments and a focus on the inner life. He believed that the soul was a spark of divine light, and that its ultimate goal was to return to its divine source.
In his sermons and writings, Eckhart used vivid imagery and metaphors to describe the nature of God and the human experience. He believed that God was not a distant, external being, but rather a living, inner presence that could be experienced directly. He also believed that the soul was not separate from God, but rather was a part of God, and that the ultimate goal of human life was to realize this unity.
One of Eckhart's most famous concepts is the idea of "the God-Head," which refers to the unity of God and the soul. He believed that the soul was not separate from God, but rather was a part of God, and that the ultimate goal of human life was to realize this unity. Eckhart's teachings on the God-Head were considered radical and even heretical by some of his contemporaries, and he was eventually accused of heresy by the Catholic church.
Influence and Legacy
Despite the controversy surrounding his teachings, Eckhart's influence on Western spirituality has been profound. His emphasis on direct experience of God and the unity of all things has inspired countless mystics, theologians, and spiritual seekers throughout history. His teachings have also influenced many major figures in Western spirituality, including St. Catherine of Siena, St. John of the Cross, and Teilhard de Chardin.
In recent years, Eckhart's teachings have experienced a resurgence in popularity, and his writings have been translated into many languages. His emphasis on the importance of inner experience and the unity of all things has resonated with many people seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Conclusion
Meister Eckhart was a 13th-century mystic and theologian who taught that the ultimate goal of human life was to attain union with God. His emphasis on direct experience of God and the unity of all things has had a profound impact on Western spirituality, and his teachings continue to inspire and influence people around the world. Despite the controversy surrounding his teachings, Eckhart's legacy is a testament to the power of spiritual inquiry and the importance of seeking a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
From Groq
Have a great Sunday, Lisa.
It is still raining here so I will try and stop by in a bit.
!BBH !ALIVE !DOOK !INDEED
Same to you, John!
It's partly sunny and in the low 60s here.
No need to run the AC or the Furnace.
That is what I call Perfect for weather.
Enjoy your day!
!BBH
That is perfect indeed. It is nice to be able to turn off the HVAC for a bit.
We are getting remnants of Hurricane Helene.
It has been steady raing for 3 days now, which is good because we really needed that rain.
We are very fortunate to have not had the severe weather that so many others have had.
The devastation from this storm is incredible.
We've had beach hazard statements on Lake Michigan. I think it was rainy one day last week but no severe weather or loss of electric power. I like living in the Midwest anyway but when I see what happens in other places like with Hurricane Helene I am even more happy to live here. Those poor people. I saw some of it when my Dad was watching the news and I happened to be downstairs.
!BBH
It is crazy the amount of devastation and destruction caused by one storm.
!BBH !ALIVE !DOOK !INDEED
You just got DOOKed!
@beststart thinks your content is the shit.
They have 4/20 DOOK left to drop today.
Learn all about this shit in the toilet paper! 💩
And makes me feel ashamed of complaining about stupid little things that go wrong.
!BBH
We are all creatures of our own world and that is where we focus. Home, family friends, work, ect make up our world.
There is nothing to be ashamed of, you are just human.😊
It is crazy however how fast life can change in a instant. I am grateful to not have been affected by the storm.
Have a great day, Lisa
