Though one should live through all the time from adam and all the time to come before the judgment day doing good works, yet he who, energising in his highest, purest part, crosses from time to eternity, verily in the sight of god this man conceives and does far more than anyone who lives throughout all past and future time, because this now includes the whole of time. one master says that in crossing over time into the now each power of the soul will surpass itself. . . .

More From Meister Eckhart

So where does the name adam's apple come from? most people say that it is from the notion that this bump was caused by the forbidden fruit getting stuck in the throat of adam in the garden of eden. there is a problem with this theory because some hebrew scholars believe that the forbidden fruit was the pomegranate. the koran claims that the forbidden fruit was a banana. so take your pick---adam's apple, adam's pomegranate, adam's banana. eve clearly chewed before swallowing.

My name is adam. my father's name is adam. having the same name as your father, it's alright until your voice changes. my friends would always call up, 'is adam there?' my father would say, 'this is adam.' my friends would say, 'adam, you were so wasted last night.'

O, this faith is a living, busy, active, powerful thing! it is impossible that it should not be ceaselessly doing that which is good. it does not even ask whether good works should be done; but before the question can be asked, it has done them, and it is constantly engaged in doing them. but he who does not do such works, is a man without faith. he gropes and casts about him to find faith and good works, not knowing what either of them is, and yet prattles and idly multiplies words about faith and good works.

The bible is the story of two gardens: eden and gethsemane. in the first, adam took a fall. in the second, jesus took a stand. in the first, god sought adam. in the second, jesus sought god. in eden, adam hid from god. in gethsemane, jesus emerged from the tomb. in eden, satan led adam to a tree that led to his death. from gethsemane, jesus went to a tree that led to our life.

Faith stands or falls on the truth that the future with god is more satisfying than the one promised by sin. where this truth is embraced and god is cherished above all, the power of sin is broken. the power of sin is the power of deceit. sin has power through promising a false future. in temptation sin comes to us and says: "the future with god on his narrow way is hard and unhappy, but the way i promise is pleasant and satisfying." the power of sin is in the power of this lie.

I'm not a master. i'm a student-master, meaning that i have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but i'm still learning. so i'm a student-master. i don't believe in the word 'master.' i consider the master as such when they close the casket.

I promise i shall never give up, and that i'll die yelling and laughing, and that until then i'll rush around this world i insist is holy and pull at everyone's lapel and make them confess to me and to all.

The human soul has still greater need of the ideal than of the real. it is by the real that we exist; it is by the ideal that we live.

The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it.

To live his life in his own way, to call his house his castle, to enjoy the fruits of his own labour, to educate his children as his conscience directs, to save for their prosperity after his death -- these are wishes deeply ingrained in civilised man. their realization is almost as necessary to our virtues as to our happiness. from their total frustration disastrous results both moral and psychological might follow.
