God and Meister Eckhart

This video is about one of my favorite topics, which is God. But I'm not talking about the god that enforces rules or regulations, or keeps record of when or how often you've cheated on your lover. That's a god more suitable for children who haven't grown up to realize the truth of what God really is.

When I talk about God, I really mean unconditional love which, mathematically speaking, can only be a zero because anything countable, wearable or measurable is something objective, therefore, it has a definite weight, measure or a concept to it.

You can't use anything like that to describe God. If you do, you're confused about what God is.

When I look deeply into the beliefs behind the behaviors that lead to my clients’ countless challenges with their health, relationships and willingness to engage life, it almost always boils down to some belief or program that has been put into their heads by someone or somethings, or ones they have acquired over time. Usually, these ideas are put into their heads as a child going to some kind of church or temple or engaged in some religious worship.

A good example: I've had to rehabilitate many vegetarians and show them how to design their diets. Most of these people got their ideas from a guru or religious affiliation.

In this video I discuss a passage from a beautiful book, "The Pocket Meister Eckhart". Meister Eckhart was a Christian mystic who lived from 1260-1327.

Some people get the impression that I'm anti-Christianity. Fact is, I am absolutely not against any religion. I'm only against the corporate hijacking of people's minds by religion for profit and control.

Unfortunately, that’s what most people consider “religion.”

I'm a Christian, Paul, and have been wanting to tell you for some time what a blessing you've been to me, and how much I appreciate you, regardless of how our beliefs regarding God may differ.

Well it may be not by accident that I came to be here this morning. Am interested in finding out more about Eckart. As a young Catholic I used to want to explore more of Merton's writings.

You are a great mentor Paul, and the world needs what you share. Thank you for all your efforts.

"I am as certain as I am of my own life that nothing is so near to me as God. GOD is nearer to me than myself. My being depends on the fact that god is near to me and present for me... God is near to us, but we are very far from him. God is within, but we are outside, God is at home in us, but we ar abroad". Meister eckhart. one of my favorite passages. thanks for sharing on meister eckhart Paul

[korennaaster]

Love all of this. Awe and wonder are beautiful intentions to navigate through our days! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and deeper spiritual wisdom.

[sFinest]

I feel close to god every time I watch or experience content you make. Thank you sir..

Hi Paul! This is my first time hearing about Meister Eckhart, i thought you were referring to Eckhart Tolle, which im sure you have also studied. I admittedly have loved God as a cow, praying for success and health and all the good things that are thought to come with a love for God and faith. I love your advice to love yourself, nature, life you can get closer to God. I haven’t thought too deeply about God but I can feel “It” whenever I go through something challenging or studying or just embracing what the day brings. Thank you for this video and all of your other videos and work. Have a great week!

[KeithFurrow]

I’m glad spirit led me to you. I resonated with this teaching.

Christian mysticism. Wonderful. Maranatha is my mantra when meditating. And thank you for the heads up on the pocket Meister Eckhart book. Namaste.

[kristinfischer]

I love this video. Thank you again for reminding us of the unconditional, 'other' nature of God, that we cannot know, but can certainly experience.

[normanshadow]

Lovely delivery...glad I found you through looking for Eckhart.

[RebecaEigen]

Your teaching here reminded me of my teacher Jungian Analyst/Episcopalian priest, J. Pittman McGehee. I told the person who introduced me to your video that it is nice to see others who think the way I have come to believe about life guided by my teacher Pittman. I look forward to hearing more.

[ReginaldArthurWolfe]

One of your best Paul.

Thank you kindly for sharing this wisdom with us. It gives me much to meditate on.

I will trust to love.

Strength and courage to you and yours.

Hey, Paul -- *wowee*, thank you, awesome man, thank you! First heard you in conversation with Aubrey Marcus -- a podcast I've saved and listened to numerous times. What a joy to come across your insights and joyful heart. It's a happy hope I hold to meet and enjoy you in person, one day soon. Loved all your "God" videos (and more), and this one, most of all. Mui blessings, and *much* joy --

[calicoD]

Thank you so much Paul.
Great video.
Also, you look very much at peace while talking about your favorite subject, which is good to see.

[paraskevasioannou]

We’ll said Guru Paul Chek, your a blessing to all humanity xx much love, Peace ✌️

[poindext]

Thank you paul. Always enjoy these video blogs.

[claudelebel]

I like your equating unconditional love and zero, which, if I understand correctly, could only mean without opinions and beliefs.

[DavidBattistella]

Paul, to acknowledge this and present this information as you have, as a crucial component to total health is received in the most heartfelt way! I just ordered the book. Wanted to share that I just read Stephen Mitchell's translation of the gospels removing all 4th century teaching and getting back to the original Aramaic texts and teachings. The simplicity is beautiful and the texts with all the "spin" and religiosity removed are absolute poetry.

Hi Paul, I am not sure how else to contact you, but I have a concern that I feel you are the only one that can help clear my mind. My name is Adriana and I have been following your work for the past year. I give great gratitude for your extensive wisdom you share with the world. I love all the youtube videos and my dream is to attend the chek institute this upcoming September of 2019. I majored in kinesiology and want help people on a more holistic level. I understand that in order to help people, I should have a deeper approach then just kinesthetic, which is why I have read other books which can help understand chakras, meditation, and energy healing. I really love what you promote, with loving the world and gathering energy from it by practicing tai chi and meditation. I was living up in the mountains feeling more connected with God and my spirit than ever and recently moved back to a polluted city to be closer to my sister and her new baby girl. Being that I am now exposed to different energies and people that are not eating well, I feel very drained. I recently had a deep conversation with my very Christian brother about meditation and he scared the crap out of me. He shook up my beliefs with his fear based religion in Jesus and God and I am so confused now. He told me that by meditating I am opening the gates to demonic entities. I want to trust myself and my personal spiritual faith and I understand that he is most likely suffering from parasites due to his poor diet of processed foods, along with his excessive video game playing. I know the answers but as an empath, I cant help but allow his words to resonate in my heart. I am doing my best to let this energy pass through my crown but I need reassurance and guidance. I trust that God is with me and feel that my brothers words are simply a reflection of his fear of expanding his spiritual soul. Maybe this is too much to ask of you but I feel like you can help me with clearing up my new concern of practicing meditation and opening up my third eye to the Devine. 
Peace, Love, and Light
-Adriana
