More From Meister Eckhart

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.
Greatness Wrath Justice Of God
You hear a lot about god these days: god, the beneficent; god, the all-great; god, the almighty; god, the most powerful; god, the giver of life; god, the creator of death. i mean, we're hearing about god all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. but if we know anything about god, god is arbitrary.
Powerful Mean Hearing
Intellectually i touched god many times as truth and emotionally i touched god as love. i touched god as goodness. i touched god as kindness. it came to me that god is a creative force, a motivating power, an over-all intelligence, an ever-present, all pervading spirit - which binds everything in the universe together and gives life to everything. that brought god close. i could not be where god is not. you are within god. god is within you.
Kindness Giving Creative
At 13 years old, i realized i could start my own band. i could write my own song, i could record my own record. i could start my own label. i could release my own record. i could book my own shows. i could write and publish my own fanzine. i could silk-screen my own t-shirt. i could do this all myself.
Song Book Writing
Do you know god? do you know there is a power greater than ourselves which manifests itself within us as well as everywhere else in the universe? this i call god. do you know what it is to know god, to have god's constant guidance, a constant awareness of god's presence? to know god is to reflect love toward all people and all creations. to know god is to feel peace within - a calmness, a serenity, an unshakeableness which enables you to face any situation. to know god is to be so filled with joy that it bubbles over and goes forth to bless the world.

And the rules were so clear, you could not deviate from that all. and i think it especially damaged my sisters because there was nothing they could do to get my father's attention, to win his approval. they could not play sports. they could not do these other things. they could not be tough. they could not be macho. and so i think they suffered just from sheer neglect if nothing else.

Similar Quotes
A sexual athlete is not likely to find sufficient energy for work of another athletic kind, and the acting of great parts most definitely was and always will be athletic, depending on inner if not on visible energy. members of other professions that depend on the expenditure of physical energy must, i believe, find similar difficulties when attempting to double up on their energies. one has often heard that the most magnificent specimens of boxers, wrestlers and champions in almost every branch of athletic sport prove to be disappointing upon the removal of that revered jockstrap.

She was all the things i wasn't. and i was all the things she wasn't. she could paint circles around anyone; i couldn't even draw a straight line. she was never into sports; i've always been. her hand, it fit mine.
