Who was Meister Eckhart?

[@rasmuslernevall6938]

Fascinating how the mystics of all traditions and religions mostly are saying basically the same things.

[@geertmeertens-sk7lv]

Philosophers will keep discussing. Mystics are already agreeing for centuries: consciousness is all there is so you have got to be it, unless you prefer to keep dreaming.

[@rasmuslernevall6938]

@@geertmeertens-sk7lv Yes! They don't understand the difference between mind and consciousness. That simple yet profound realization would in time change everything for humanity.

@@rasmuslernevall6938 Suggesting that life could be just a dream is the fastest way to end any conversation. Although it is the only way out: it is the truth that will set you free.

Yes its amazing. Huxley calls it the eternal philosophy

Thank you for the helpful summary of M E's life and work. But why add annoying music? It trivialises and distracts. What good does it do?

Great portraits

Eckhart was one of those rare Christian mystics that spoke from direct experience, like St. John Of The Cross and even Thomas Merton, they seem to have been expressing what has been known and taught in Hinduism and Buddhism for centuries. Unfortunately, every time a Christian individual comes close to that truth, they're labeled heretics. Christianity survives through the Organization as ultimate authority, shunning the direct individual experience that Jesus repeatedly spoke of. Great video, thank you 🙏🏽

uhh no

[@ainslie187]

why no?

[@heinmolenaar6750]

Thomas merton was not a mystic. He was famous as a writer.

[@tommarron8589]

Merton certainly a writer and i think a mystic also , certainly was intimate with the unprovable .

He has features quite similar to eckhart tolle in some of these paintings. He was a blessed man then and is now, I feel there might be something to reincarnation.

Or the phenotypes that make us all look like each other. I’m convinced God gives them meaning we cannot decipher

I am looking for a community of people who want to study and allow themselves to be drawn in by the Divine, just as ME did. Is there such a community?

Many seekers are loners.

[@kimlindgren3285]

Thank you very much. Where are the images of Meister Eckhart taken from, I wonder? Most of them look computer-generated. And why do they look so similar to Eckhart Tolle?

[@bitesizephilosophy]

They are AI generated. The similarity of the way they look could well be down to the linguistic similarities in their name and training data. We don't know what he looked like and the images seemed like a reasonable approximation so we went with them.
