Meister Eckhart on "God"

Jun 25, 2005 10:27 PM
by Daniel H. Caldwell


Below are four of my favorite quotes from 
Meister Eckhart (c.1260–c.1328, German mystic):

"Why I pray God to rid me of God is 
because conditionless being is 
above God and above distinction."

"God works, the Godhead does no work."

"I do not find God outside myself 
nor conceive him excepting as my own and in me."

"The being and the nature of God are mine. . . . the spark in the 
soul is beyond time and space; the soul's light is uncreated and 
cannot be created, it takes possession of God with no mediation; the 
core of the soul and the core of God are one."

Do the ideas given in these quotes relate 
to what is written about "God" in THE 
SECRET DOCTRINE and THE MAHATMA LETTERS?

If so,how?
