Sugrue.. the man.. the myth.. the legend.

Been watching one of your lectures at least once a day and it's been much more productive and meaningful during my free time. Thank you so very much for your public domain contribution professor with these deep lectures.

I have read all of Meister Eckhardt's writings repeatedly and I cannot imagine anyone even coming close to Sugrue's penetrating introduction. What a gift!

[WilliamBrown-yltt]

I feel guilty watching the next lecture without reading Eckhart's work, which is an indication of a gifted teacher. Thank you

[PJAlaska]

This was utterly fantastic! Thank you, Professor Sugrue. Perhaps you hear our thanks wherever you are. Many of your great lectures helped open a door to a whole new world for me. Life was so dull and meaningless. Over the last couple years I have read most of the books that you went over in these lectures. It has been life changing.

Thank you professor. Never heard of this man before. What a great lecture and addition to my puny intellect. Bless you professor 👨‍🏫 👏🏻👏🏻

What astounds me is Dr. Sugrue's range of ideas, how in-depth he can speak of these things, as is evident from the backlog of uploads recently--he can go from Plato to the Bible, to world literature to "out-of-the-way" writers like Meister Eckhart. In that way he's like an encyclopedia of human knowledge and wisdom.

Meister Surgure -- the man whom philosophy hid nothing

[PianoIsTheRemedy]

Sugrue is one of the best lecturers I have ever heard. I realize he had at least some outline and practice, but you can tell his mind is honed to a point sharp enough to just slice off his knowledge one piece at a time and deliver it flawlessly to his audience. He is the epitome of excellence as it pertains to ascertaining a deep knowledge and being able to access and articulate it in an fascinating and riveting manner.

So you also make difficult things look easy, thence you are a great artist and enormously charismatic 😊
What a beautiful lecture! Thanks Dr Sugrue.

He couldn't have chosen a better quote to finish the lecture. A gift he was, Dr. Sugrue.

1. Love has no why
2. Divine nature has no name
3. Soul bursting
Grateful ❤

On wanting to understand Meister Eckhart on a deeper level I found this presentation so highly polished that my curiosities were absorbed after replaying the video in some areas. I want to learn more about him now. I have a religious cult 'knocking on my door' and need to be clear to myself about the meaning of my own inner scintilla (new word for me) so a huge thank you to Sugru 🙏

[JNAsc]

Big thanks to Michael Sugrue for repeatedly explaining what a metaphor is. Truly groundbreaking presentation.

[aryencas]

This is maybe the most interesting Chanel which I found in years.

[darrellee]

Let's not to forget to thank the Teaching Company for bringing us these people. Sugrue, Stalloff, Roderick, Daniel Robinson.

[Orgotheonemancult]

These videos might be the greatest education I've ever received. Thank you.

[benjaminseng]

ive listened to all his lectures and this one to me is his most inspiring. The lack of definition becomes a playground of ideas and reflections. I spent hours driving around thinking about how many of my perceptions and assumptions have been held in my mind as foolish absolutisms. so humbling

[SeandonMooy]

These lectures are amazing. Started with Nietzsche and now I’ve watched every single lecture multiple times!

[rolandoaltamirano]

. Thank you professor, we hold you on the highest respect.
