"Theologians may quarrel, but the mystics of the world speak the same language."

Amen!

[steelgila]

That quote that says "we are not human beings having a spiritual experience but spiritual beings having a human experience" would seem to fit in here with Eckhart's spirit.

Wisdom separates the spirit from the heart, all encapsulated in the soul.

The last one resonates with me …”time” has become a nemesis of mine
Thank you for sharing these! A fan of Eckhart Tolle, and I’m now a fan of Meister Eckhart…

The part about God telling a joke is everything.

Trying to imagine how radical his single eye quote must've been in the 13th century. Wondering about his STEs (spiritually transformative experiences) that jolted his awakenings.

what is the music in the background called?

[BRAVEONPRECIOUS]

Peace. Seek her and let her truth take you unconditionally 🩵🕊️🩵

Wonderful quotes but the music distracts from the purity of the thought that dwells best in silence. The piano is not a sacred instrument and didn't even exist in the time of Eckhardt. I'm a classical musician (sacred music) so am certainly not against music. Thank you for providing the quote in text and the beautiful artwork. It lets me meditate in peace on Eckhardt's thoughts. The narration is also well done.

These might as well be quotes from the Upanishads 😊🙏

So... if you're here, this might resonate with you.

Take a moment and look at the actual sensation/situation inside your head (this is the real purpose of meditation). See that it's a never-ending stream of thoughts (word-ideas), emotions (sensations in the body that are *because* of something or indicate something), and physical sensations not related to emotion. So, basically thoughts and sensations. The key insight to see, when you look, is that a) it's always now, and b) you're not in control of what thought or sensation you're having now.

Aka, you can't choose a thought without simply just having it. But even if you could (like if you looked in a bag of thoughts and picked out the ones you liked), you'd only ever be choosing them based on liking them (even for very good reasons) and so then you're not 'choosing' them. You're obeying your will.

And we don't choose what our will is. To 'choose' our will is just to exert unchosen will. Will being the feeling of 'I want or I like XYZ' - whether that desire is for a cookie or for communion with God.

And since we don't choose what we think, nor what we feel (we can't make ourselves love someone just by saying "I love you, " nor can we make ourselves have faith just by believing we should), we're really not in control of anything.

But that means we're not in control of our conscience either, whether it's there (it always is). Conscience is judgment. We always judge. We can't stop ourselves.

We can see that we've been wrong before, though. And we can see that when we were wrong, we sometimes knew it, and sometimes didn't. But still we must rely on our judgment - we're stuck doing exactly that (even if our judgment is twisted due to emotional issues or chemicals, etc) - the point is, you're at the mercy of what you think.

So, take it just a little less seriously. Not "throw it away, " because it's all you have. Just see that you a) can be wrong, and b) you're not in control.

But you've seen yourself learn, too. Yet even then you're not in control of when you do. You don't rearrange the neurons in your head to finally 'get' something.

So basically you hit a fundamental exasperation because you realize you're absolutely not in control. No consciousness is, because consciousness only ever experiences will. And so whether it's determined (I don't think so), or free (I think, but what does that mean anymore?), either way - your will is only ever experienced by you, moment to moment, and totally outside of your control.

So you're stuck. And then you see you've been in this stuck situation, believing yourself to be in control and going half crazy (like we all do) because life still eluded your grasp, and your anxiety still eludes your grasp, and yet here you are. And it's gone mostly well (your life, thus far).

And then you start to develop a little bit of faith. But real faith. Faith as in, "Holy hell, this is all God doing this and I'm not in control and yet I'll suffer whatever fortune brings and somehow that's oddly thrilling and shattering at the same time." And you start to trust it. It doesn't make bad things suddenly good. You still have a conscience. It makes every moment part of your path. Your path to faith.

The other half of everything is willingly feeling your body sensations. As much as you can, all the time. Every moment. All your emotional anxiety - it's pain being expressed in little tissues in the body, behind your eyes, in your jaw, neck, voicebox, sternum, abdomen, pelvis. It's the clenching we all do when fearing an incoming punch, but these tissues seem all clenched to stave off expected emotional pain. And it doesn't work in protecting us from that. We're just all clenched inside, forever.

Once you see you're not 'the chooser' - that you're expressing will, not choosing it - those little tissues might start to unclench, realizing they never (or very rarely) actually benefitted what you were doing in any moment, anyway. But also that it wasn't ever up to you to stop clenching.

So feel your body. See that life isn't up to you. It's up to God. And thus have real faith, that will come and go as it pleases, but perhaps it will appear more now that you see it's not up to you if it appears (while also seeing you can't help but try).

"It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you." Supposing, however, I don't find Meister Eckhart comforting? Still, I actually do find him comforting, I must admit. This business of 'letting go' reminds me of one of the principles of AA, Let Go and Let God.

What is the name of the piano piece in the background?

[danieldreamsdigital]

Please can you share the name of the music piece? Thank you

[briancornish]

'Dear God, teach me to forget God.' He is supposed to have prayed that.

[aggnostik]

Oh please, please get rid of that vaudeville piano tinkering noise....start over!

[Thothschild]

If you guys don't see the comedy in the rich fecund truths of Meister Eckhart being read...by AI voice emulators. Yeowch. It literally kinda puts the transhumanist doctrine ahead of the idea that the Logos is uttered by the First Breath... Wakka wakka..

[jesuswept]

In the midst of these profound quotes a guy interrupts and tells me how I can make loads of money if I follow him 😂😂😂
