Theos-Talk Archives (November 2008 Message tt00342)

Well, in that all that we call existence is a manifestation of Maya,  
illusion, then Karma is illusion as well and as Enlightenment wipes Karma out  
(otherwise Enlightenment would not be possible) then part of seeking  Enlightenment 
must be the realization of the illusory nature of Karma.

Well, Chuck, you  Being a heretic and all, I Would of course expect such an 
answer coming from  you. :-)



But, one could ask oneself:

What is Karma and  what is visdom...

Subject: Re: Theos-World Meister Eckhart on  "God"



I rather like my comment on God when my wife had her  stroke and was in a 

coma for two weeks, thus causing one of her  sisters to comment that "God has 
a 

reason for this." My  response was, "If your idiot God knew what he was doing 

in the  first place she would not be here!"

Here are some of my favorite quotes from

Meister Eckhart (c.1260âc.1328, German mystic):



"God is exempt  from all things and he is

all things."



"He who  thinks that he sees God, if he

see aught sees naught of  God."



"I do not find God outside myself nor

conceive him excepting as my own and in me."



"If I were not,  God would not be God."



"All creatures are pure nothingness.  I

do not say they are small or

petty: they are  pure nothingness. p



"The being [of things] is  God."



"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."



"Why I pray God  to rid me of God is because

conditionless being is above God and  above

distinction. d



"God works, the Godhead does  no work."

Do the IDEAS  given in these quotes by Eckhart

relate to what is written about  "God" in THE

SECRET DOCTRINE and THE MAHATMA  LETTERS?



If so,how?
