Meister Eckhart - 𝐀𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 - Christian Mystics

Johannes Eckhart was one of the greatest of Christian mystics. He was born at Hochheim in Thüringen, Germany, in 1260 and died c.1327. He entered the Dominican order when he was 15. Later he became a distinguished professor and taught at different universities.
His direct and accessible teachings of a person's closeness to God inspired many people and he became well known throughout Europe. He was later summoned to an inquisition for heretical teachings, at which he vigorously defended himself.

Dear Listener, this recording has some copyrighted music in the video so YT plays ADS to collect revenue for the record company. I have no control over the ads that appear as it is all KZbin placing ads for the music companies as I used copyrighted material in this old recording. My channel is not monetized so I make no money from them or the ads that appear. I try not to use copyrighted music anymore. If you purchase a KZbin premium subscription you can avoid ads. The responsibility is all on your end.

If you can afford to, upgraded to YT Premium & all these recordings play ad-free. It’s not cheap but for me it’s been worth it judt to enjoy this channel alone. There’s a 1 month free trial available & I’d recommend using that at least.

It’s so beautiful to realize more and more that all true mystics are really speaking the same language, just with seemingly different terms. The one reality can present itself in so many different ways and what a joy it is to explore its various expressions. Peace and love to you, thank you once again for these videos!

If you are frightened of dying, you will see devils tearing your life away. But if you have made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth. For the person who has learned to let go, and let be, nothing can get in the way again."

[@lais7028]

Thank you. Your reading is so beautiful! Including the long silent pauses, which allow us to steep in the words. Meister Eckhart is so muck like Jiddu Krishnamurti, my "non-teacher" (he always said he was not a "teacher", only a "friend"). K pointed to the same silence, as in Meister Eckhart's vision. Here are some of my favourite quotes: "To be receptive to the highest truth, and to live therein, a man must needs be without before and after, untrammeled by all his acts or by any images he ever perceived, empty and free, receiving the divine gift in the eternal Now… " "Above thought is the intellect, which still seeks: it goes about looking, spies out here and there, picks up and drops. But above the intellect that seeks is another intellect which does not seek but stays in its pure, simple being, which is embraced in that light. " "Do not imagine that your reason can grow to the knowledge of God"

Just letting you know I wasn’t able to access the “community “ section of your channel with my iPad? Thanks again for these videos. Very much appreciated. Blessings 🙏🏻

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Hi Nick, lovely to read your beautiful sharing in relation to these mystic's words. They are just lovely aren't they and the Christian mystics remind us of the importance of humility on this path. I love that emphasis they place on the practice. It can be missing a bit in some other traditions, or perhaps just not emphasised so much. We are doing fine at the monastery and in total isolation which is the same as it always is for us - so nothing's changed, except no visitors or guests. So even more quiet. The bush is recovering amazingly fast post bush fires and it's so amazing to see just how quickly nature can regenerate. The birds, wombats, wallabies, echidnas, and lyrebirds are all well established again doing their "stuff". These native animals certainly know how to survive, except for those billion that didn't of course! I hope you and your family are keeping well and safe in these interesting, turbulent times. With many blessings x

Gospel of Thomas was the soul of the bible. It makes us realize that Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Shiva, Mohammed, Lao Tzu, Osho, Meistar Eckhart were all just vehicles to the same great message in different ways, all pointing us to what was always within, the true nature of our existence. The biggest crime against humanity is that the complete word of Jesus was never known and what was used is misinterpreted so an authority can keep everyone in the dark. Their days are limited. I see great hope in humanity today that in the age of internet, the spirituality in every religion is finally being known. Our common dream is that the churches, mosques, temples all will be taken away from the ideologues and we will all be united with the Divine. We dream it together and it will manifest. Namaste!

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Hi Prema, lovely to know you are enjoying the recordings and that they are proving soothing during difficult times. Were you an anagarika in the days when Ayya Khema was at WBD or later? Nice to make this connection with the Thai Forest tradition.

[@premaroberts1546]

Hullo again Jayasara, I was one of three women ordained at the Wat in 1984 by Phra Khantipalo & (very reluctant!) Thai monks from Wat Buddharangsee in Newtown, Sydney. I knew Ayya Khema but like just about everyone else at the time she was not supportive of the nuns' ordination at the Wat. . . .I disrobed in 1988 after meeting my Tibetan Dzogchen Master Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche. Thereafter I encountered Hindu Advaitism & spent some months in India with Papaji who was a disciple of Ramana Maharshi. . . Living on the NSW north coast i've met some beautiful practitioner teacher/healers in many traditions, who have all been a part of my journey. . . Your UTube postings seem to bring all these seemingly diverse threads together in such a gentle yet profound manner, & the fact that you are a Theravadin nun is a kind of healing for me as my time at the Wat was turbulent & scarring for many years - although it was paradoxically beautiful in so many respects too. . . The Thai Forest tradition is so deeply inspiring. I was very fortunate to be able to spend a Rains Retreat at Wat Pa Ban Tard in Udorn Thani when Tun Acharn Maha Boowa was there & then a month or so near the Laotian border at Tun Acharn Tooey's Wat - all 'ancient' history now, as though from another life!

[@SamaneriJayasara]

Amazing Prema! Well, you have certainly done the rounds and met some wonderful teachers. Great fortune for you!

Stay well and safe in these turbulent times. ❤️

Thank you so much, you are doing such a great "job" in placing the gemstones of all the spiritual traditions around their inexpressible luminous center.
