Meister Eckhart

More From Meister Eckhart

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
The line-by-line, sequential, continuous form of the printed page slowly began to lose its resonance as a metaphor of how knowledge was to be acquired and how the world was to be understood. "knowing" the facts took on a new meaning, for it did not imply that one understood implications, background, or connections. telegraphic discourse permitted no time for historical perspectives and gave no priority to the qualitative. to the telegraph, intelligence meant knowing of lots of things, not knowing about them.
Knowing Perspective Priorities
With this book in my hands, reading aloud to my friends, questioning them, explaining to them, i was made clearly to understand that i had no friends, that i was alone in the world. because in not understanding the meaning of the words, neither i nor my friends, one thing became very clear and that was that there were ways of not understanding and that the difference between the non-understanding of one individual and the non-understanding of another created a world of terra firma even more solid than differences of understanding.
Book Reading Hands
The pain comes from more than the facts of circumstance, or the deeds of others. it comes from within. from understanding what we lost. it comes from knowing how foolish we were - vain, arrogant children - when we thought ourselves happy. it comes from knowing how fragile and doomed the old ways were, just when we thought them and ourselves, secure!. the pain comes from knowing we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. it comes from knowing we can never be children again.
Children Pain Knowing
Seeing is believing and believing is knowing and knowing beats unknowing and the unknown.
Believe Knowledge Knowing
I had gone to no such place but to the smoke of cafes and nights when the room whirled and you needed to look at the wall to make it stop, nights in bed, drunk, when you knew that that was all there was, and the strange excitement of waking and not knowing who it was with you, and the world all unreal in the dark and so exciting that you must resume again unknowing and not caring in the night, sure that this was all and all and all and not caring.
Wall Dark Caring
