Thankyou for an excellent video. As someone who studied philosophy and has become fascinated by the mystery religions I loved your insights here!

New to Meister Eckhart and so glad I found your channel straight away! Thank you for your interpretations and clarifications.

❤

Didn't he die before his heresy trial concluded?

WOW THIS IS SUCH A AWESOME CHANNEL! I wish i found you sooner!! Thankyou so much!

After looking at your facebook page, I realize my last posting was rather blunt and reckless. :( My apology! Please disregard it, except for Nicolas of Cusa, I believe, he is another weighty mystic that holds the key to integrate and reconcile a dualistic and fragmented world at war.

A brilliant metaphor to illustrate "Master Eggheart"s point!

Reminds me of Ramana Maharshi.... 1. Is hell real? 2. Who wants to know? 1. I do....... 2. And, who are you? ........silence. 'Nothing in the universe resembles God more than silence' shhhhhhh.... :) I enjoy your talks

I understand that you know a great deal more about Eckhart (and probably most things) than I do, but through you, I really do get a sense of the magnificent teachings that Eckhart has given us. Although my first 50 years were spent looking at Eastern religions, I get a strong feeling 'coming home' as I listen to you and how you explain these ideas. It so helps me as I then delve into the actual sermons and lectures. Should 'I' (?) ever awaken, get to heaven, or whatever, I have to thank you because you have been such a tremendous source of help and inspiration - even if we do disagree about which image to use to represent Eckhart! Thank you so much.

Great analogy ❤.

as soon as I hear the equivalent of, "...and no amount of critical analysis or thinking will help you..." I realise this is not for me

Hugely appreciate your approach to philosophy. I had a totally unsubstantiated thought that stuck with me when you spoke of Anaximander - that all substance emerges from and returns to the same boundlessness - is that not verifiable in terms of the strange empirics of quantum physics, namely how quarks, the things that make up atoms, are almost virtual, flashing in and out of existence?

‘ Virtues are formed in man by his doing the right actions ‘ says Aristotle, but Eckhart correctly identifies that we should not first ask what we should do , but rather who we should be . That is the pivotal question / choice to be made .As Richard Rohr says , ‘ When you get your ‘ Who am I ?’ question right , all of your ‘ What should I do?’ questions, tend to take care of themselves ‘ . Faith tells Christians who they are , confers identity ,and informs decisions and actions to follow ( +/- understanding) - if we are to be authentic ! We are God’s children, if and when we behold Jesus, as the Lamb of God . Identity provides purpose and meaning . You are right about the reading of scripture being read not for intellectual erudition, theological discourse , but rather to motivate/ animate us to action and thence to experience . As has been said ‘Faith is not an end in itself , but a kind of beauty - a raft that takes you from one place to another - to experience of / and union with God ‘ - the ground of Being . And it is a wonderful thing , even if only fleeting for me . Thanks .

Excellent! 👍

Faith is alwas what we know. It's may be our imagination our own theory to faith on something. Faith is just a mind game. But to understand something beyond mind, the mind should be silent a deep silence (where the mind desire nothing no anger, no jelousy, no anxiety ,no restlessness....) Mind in Nothingness - not a thing in the mind, the mind becomes free.

Master Egghart's recipe for French toast. No matter how erudite the video, my brain goes straight for the pun and forgets all else. 😞😞

excellent presentation! I would take it further and say that there's no distinction between "believe" versus "do" in the context of knowing God. in other words, for me to believe that Jesus is what He said He is, which is the Truth and the Life, it doesn't give me the intended meaning of those words. I may think I know what those words mean but its not what I think. but what belief does is allow God to do His part in me and make Himself known exactly as He declared Himself to be, which is only possible for each of us individually if we first believe! its. a two step process: we do the believing and the keeping of the words of Jesus and then God does the showing of Himself. its all laid out plainly in the words of Jesus.

Brilliant. Thank you

I wish you were one of my professors. Your content and manner of communicating it makes my learning easier and enjoyable. Thank you, from Taiwan!

I have a question regarding Meister Eckhart. In the ‘Olivet Discourse’ (Matthew 24:1-35, Mark 13:1-37, and Luke 21:5-36) Jesus speaks on the end of times. He says one man will be taken and the other left behind. One man taken from the field and the other worker left behind. I am curious as to if Meister Eckhart mentioned these verses in any sermons and if so, what did he say about them? Did Eckhart have a view on any apocalyptic end, or rather is the end of the self and attachment the final judgment in a sense? If so, how do we reconcile these verses? Thank you.

Many many thanks.

milky way and the constellation cygnus also known as northern cross. what is the day when sun is under the northern cross. Orpheus and swan. zeus and leda. apollo and swan chariot. swan chariots in india. human with wings(protective spirits). jesus rising from holy spirit and world snake that eats odin. caduceus...snakes and wings. triangle bodies in pedroqlyps in north america and birdhead gods. stories in popol vuh. just saying look pegasus auriga aquila cygnus cassiopeia and cepheus in milky way and you can see santas chariot, hanged man arrows and so on. also gods and goddeses with snake legs is so hilarius. and well world three and the eggshells aswell. myth of volun the smith is my fav.

Your understanding astounds me. I’m so grateful for your informed teaching. 🌏☮️🍀

This topic you brought up is very relevant to our times since so many believes and leaders believe so "literally" and "faithfully" that they missed the fundamental point of Christianity that is love. Christianity without love is no more. St. Paul pointed out outright, " When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things." 1 Corinthians 13:11 Thank you for your videos on many topics.

15:22 That is a thoughtful observation. Having just finished Eliade's: the Sacred and the Profane, and having read Hannah's Sacred nature last week or so - I agree that they would both agree that we must re-enchant ourselves with the world and ourselves... *And each other.

Too many ads

For many, ‘the answers have been provided for you’ is still a very attractive option.

Perhaps a picture of this is in Ezekiel 47, when man is so emptied of self and filled with God it cannot but help but to flow back out of the inner sanctuary of Man into this world touching everything with the goodness of God for whichever and for wherever this river is sent. It does not miss its mark. It knows its appointed work.

Thanks!

Greetings from Croatia...good Work Sir 👌

Nice to hear and see You👌

I read Aquinas stating that his straw comment about his writings after a presumed epiphany was commentary on the inadequacy of words to capture the ineffable. To suggest Eckhart was not Christian is to come too close to saying the Beatitudes, for example, have no relevance. Would not the Beatitudes, for example, be instructional/confirming, at least in part, the perception of divine unity...how ever short the narrative might be to the direct experience? Can the experience of Divine Unity itself become an idol? Truly could any experience of God be complete and full? If the instruments of the faith are not useful how does one live during the dessert times when God seems in far off land, and these due occurr even for the mystic. Saying Eckhart was not Christian from a institutional Christian theology I understand. I think though it may cause more harm than good.

Thats why Come To Sanatana Dharma aka Hindusim with real Traditional Polytheism.

People like Idolatry aka Images,Art and Etc. Yes yes, monotheist do it More, Ignore 1st and 2nd Comandment, Creat More art , and People like Art, with or Without Monotheistsic Tyrant. Whatever you do, Polytheism will win. Akhrn aten tried it, It failed, Even Jews are not immune to it. Understand Polytheism is Natural and True and Can Hold Diversity of Many Ultimates aka Gods and Godesses.

Chrsitianity and Islam and Judaism will die, because its Literally Divine Fascism and Totaliterianism.

Filth of Smeitic Monotheism, the Islam,Judaism and Christianity can go to Hell, Down with monotheism. Pagans will Rise again. Novus Ordo Paganorum.

We have no choice but use paradigm we currently have as guide. Otherwise how can we decide anything?? But yes this debate is beyond scientific paradigm. It's more fundamental. A philosophical debate. Debate should be on topic like "Does Super-intelligence implies super-morality?" Anyways pessimistic view is rational view. When risk is this big. What if even we know in our paradigm that it's not dangerous but as paradigm shift we realize we were wrong. Would be too late by then. But counter point is this , aliens can land tomorrow. They also can be more intelligent then us. We will face same dillema . Isn't better to take risk with something we create? It's not like humanity will live forever. But if gamble with AI and it works we might have better chance dealing with other intelligences. We have to face this eventually.

Haven't watched it all yet 'cos I'm about to go out, but Greek Buddha, Pyrrho's Encounter With Early Buddhism In Central Asia by Christopher I Beckwith is a good read. Apologies if I duplicate any information in the vid. Ataraxia!!! :)

"Did you not hear the voice of God telling you to get out of the way?" I genuinely chuckled at that one 😂 thank you as always for an educational and insightful video, my friend! I can't express enough how important the work you do is 🫶

mithra wasnt born on winter solstice he actually dies on that date and gets resurrected three days later bcos earth after three days rotates back to its spring orbit and on the first day of spring he comes as the saviour to save ppl from harshness of winter

What about praying for others?

49:30 Interestingly the word "individual" means indivisible, so by separating ourselves out of the crowd, tribe or family we become more individualized yet also at one with God. We transcend the group soul for an individual soul indivisible from God.

mithra was born from a rock

Very well said Dr Johnson. I would expect to hear more about Epikouros. A Greek friend, Nikephoros.

Always love seeing an upload from you 😁 As someone who lives in a society that has allowed individualism to be expressed to the extreme, it's wild to think of a time in which some of these philosophical revelations occurred in such a widespread way. What I wouldn't give to have conversations with some of these philosophers, but I'm extremely grateful we have their knowledge with us still.
