God Creation Stillness

More From Meister Eckhart

The stillness in stillness is not the real stillness; only when there is stillness in movement does the universal rhythm manifest.

Time, you'll be pleased to know--and since one must start somewhere--was created in creation. the question what was there before creation? is meaningless. time is a property of creation, therefore before creation there was no before creation.
Time Creation Property
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.

Christ is already in that place of peace, which is all in all. he is on the right hand of god. he is hidden in the brightness of the radiance which issues from the everlasting throne. he is in the very abyss of peace, where there is no voice of tumult or distress, but a deep stillness--stillness, that greatest and most awful of all goods which we can fancy; that most perfect of joys, the utter profound, ineffable tranquillity of the divine essence. he has entered into his rest. that is our home; here we are on a pilgrimage, and christ calls us to his many mansions which he has prepared.

Now, which am i to believe, a book that any impostor might make and call the word of god, or the creation itself which none but an almighty power could make? for the bible says one thing; and the creation says the contrary. the bible represents god with all the passions of a mortal, and the creation proclaims him with all the attributes of a god.

I am not religious, but i am a pious man... a religious man has a definite religion. he says "god is there" or "god is there," "god is there." "your god is not my god, and that's all." but the pious man, he just looks out with awe, and says, "where is god?" and "well, i don't understand it and i would like to know what this creation really means." that is a pious man, who is really touched by the greatness of nature and of the creation.

I've got this theory that human beings are innately religious; we have a belief system. it doesn't have to be a theist form, necessarily. but we need a belief system, some framework on which to hang our behavior.

Over the last 30 odd years, democrats have moved to the right and the right has moved into the mental hospital. so what we have is one perfectly good party for hedge fund managers, credit card companies, banks, defense contractors, big agriculture and the pharmaceutical lobby... that's the democrats. and they sit across the aisle from a small group of religious lunatics, flat-earthers and civil war re-enactors who mostly communicate by am radio and call themselves the republicans and who actually worry that obama is a socialist. socialist? he's not even a liberal.

The same means that have supported every other popular belief have supported christianity. war, imprisonment, and falsehood; deeds of unexampled and incomparable atrocity have made it what it is.
