God Self Knowing

More From Meister Eckhart

There's a difference between knowing god and knowing about god. knowing about god is all of the stuff we've been told and all of the books we've read and all of our religious experiences and what others have told us and tried to convince us of. but knowing god is when we make conscious contact.
Religious Book Convince Us
Knowing god without knowing our own wretchedness makes for pride. knowing our own wretchedness without knowing god makes for despair. knowing jesus christ strikes the balance because he shows us both god and our own wretchedness.
Jesus Pride Knowing
Knowing has two poles, and they are always poles apart: carnal knowing, the laying on of hands, the hanging of the fact by head or heels, the measurement of mass and motion, the calibration of brutal blows, the counting of supplies; and spiritual knowing, invisibly felt by the inside self, who is but a fought-over field of distraction, a stage where we recite the monotonous monologue that is our life, a knowing governed by internal tides, by intimations, motives, resolutions, by temptations, secrecy, shame, and pride.
Spiritual Knowledge Pride
...to be a poet, requires a mythology of the self. the self described is the poet self, to which the daily self (and others) are often ruthlessly sacrificed. the poet self is the real self, the other one is the carrier; and when the poet self dies, the person dies.

I really hate being self-conscious—and being conscious of being self-conscious
Hate Self Self Conscious
What exists in truth is the self alone. the world, the individual soul and god are appearances in it. like silver in mother-of-pearl, these three appear at the same time and disappear at the same time. the self is that where there is absolutely no 'i thought'. that is called 'stillness'. the self itself is the world; the self itself is 'i'; the self itself is god; all is siva, the self.

So my grandmother was not without humanity. and if she wore cocktail dresses when she labored in the garden, they were cocktail dresses she no longer intended to wear to cocktail parties. even in her rose garden she did not want to appear underdressed. if the dresses got too dirty from gardening, she threw them out. when my mother suggested to her that she might have them cleaned, my grandmother said, "what? and have those people at the cleaners what i was doing in a dress to make it that dirty?" from my grandmother i learned that logic is relative.
