Thanks for a talk that helps make sense of Christianity and clarifies that it is an example of the Perennial philosophy. I wish Eckhart was more widely read by Christians.
I watched this on Christmas Day and it was the most unique Christmas sermon I’ve heard (normal mass was cancelled due to the virus situation). I’ve been into Meister Eckhart’s work but I still haven’t read this. Much appreciated.
I can't help but think about the amount of learning and knowledge acquisition I have put in to get to a point where I can find, read, understand, and put in greater context the works of a man who says I must know nothing.
Enjoy the holiday season, the good food and drinks and the company of family and friends. May the new year bring you what you hope for and present you with opportunities for your endeavours to succeed.
I am so glad that Eckhart's works survived as they have. His ways of describing how one might develop a conscious connection with God-the-Source go way beyond the often narrow confines of religious thought. Mystics of many non-Christian traditions have recognised the accessibility and power of Eckhart's insights. With the light of hindsight it is, I think, easy to see that Eckhart towered over those who challenged his Christian orthodoxy in the name of the institution. Thank you Felip for another wonderful video. Health and Peace, Paul
I really needed to hear this, today. I do not know of Miester Ekharts work, but found this sermon thought provoking. Thank you for this. It will be a new avenue for me to explore.
Merry Christmas. Meister Eckhart is very much respected in Advaita Vedanta of Hinduism. Ground of God like Brahman & Soul in Ground of God equates to Atman The Self. In highest spiritual perspective Brahman = Atman.. Interesting Meister Eckhart arrives at Advaita philosophy independently similar to many Christian Mystics
Because mystical experiences of unity are similar in every human psyche, thats why we can find this concept in every part of the globe and time in history eg. Ometeotl in Aztec religion.
Thank you for this. Eckhart’ s Christmas sermon reminds me of the mystical work, « The Cloud of the Unknowning ». This video has made my Christmas this year much more meaningful and precious than my usual Christmas.
"Grunt" or in contemporary German "Grund" does mean 'Ground'. But it also means 'Reason' (cause). Interestingly, 'Reason' also has a dual meaning in English, which fits well in the meaning pattern. Merry Christmas everyone. 🎄🎅
Yes I think the English ground is almost a match. 'grounds for belief/ Well grounded'. We use base/basis too I guess. Perhaps grund goes a tad further semantically.
I love your channel. Your channel got me to think about religion. It made me think about the religion I was born into, Islam. Thank you for exposing me to Christianity. Your videos are enlightening many Muslims about religion and religious tolerance.
I love how you assume muslims are religiously intolerant when history shows that non muslims are the ones attacking islam and muslims from the start (ie, we in europe initiated the crusades, or how we've treated out jewish communities over the centuries but I digress ...)

Awesome! Such a privilege to hear this masterpiece. I’d heard of Meister Eckhardt before but this has made me want to read further. His sermon is a refreshing antidote to the materialism of the “festive” season. Thank you 🙏🏼.
Filip, I had heard of Meister Eckhart, but have not yet had the opportunity to read any of his work. Listening to you recite one of Eckhart's sermons was beautiful to hear (the importance of listening both discussed in the sermon as well as the beauty of hearing his sermon spoken). So thank you, Filip, for this treat. I also thank you for maintaining this channel. Your excellence as a content creator brings me back to your channel with every notification. Thank you again. - Megara
Eckhart: nothing in the world is in God except as in its cause, but being with God from the beginning, before His appearance and causation, like God in God, is something so great! God bless Meister Eckhart and GWF Hegel - the greatest christian philosophers ever!
Very nice clip with good information thanks . As Iranian atheist I want to wish a very merry Christmas to all with lots of HAPPINESS and healthy life for every one. I have my glass of wine for everyone health and happiness . 🌹❤️🍷
What I find so beautiful and so powerful in this teaching is that he tells us the way to God is through Stillness - Silence - Unknowing. Compare this to the endless hours of discussions, texts and debates trying to 'prove' the existence of Jesus or the Trinity, etc.. Or people trying to show how clever they are at beating their opponent in debate - TH-cam is full of such examples. Eckhart will have none of this - remove the obstacle of our so-called powers and the Soul will shine with God's light. I could write more, but I will follow Eckhart's advice and now return to my Silence - my Path of Unknowing. One last thing to write is that he is absolutely right when he says that listening is better than seeing (reading?). I found listening to this sermon so much better than reading it. Does anyone know if there are audio versions of his sermons? If not, Filip, I suggest you record them and put them on sale - I would buy them. Thank you for this 'Christmas' message.

Excellent talk and very relevant to today - Christmas day . Thank you . Very many ideas expressed here that seem to dovetail with advaita Vedanta , and in particular that statements of Sri Ramana Maharshi 🙏✝️🕉️
Pilot and his wife did not want Jesus dead: Matthew 27:15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. 16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas (son of his father, suggests he was a bastard). Matthew 27:17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Matthew 27:19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man (innocent man??), for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.” Matthew 27:24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!” So, both Pilot and his wife considered our Jesus to be an innocent man. And Pilot further says that he is innocent from Jesus’ blood. This further proves that if Jesus was alive in the cave, then no one would have wanted him dead. Instead, they would’ve all been more than willing to offer him medicine and treatment.
Hello, this was wonderful, thank you. Meister Eckhart is one of my all time favorite mystics, for exactly the reasons you pointed out. Have a blessed Christmas.
Man I love this channel! I’d really like some videos on Sikhism though, feels like the least talked about faith despite how big it is! December is an eventful month in our history…
A wonderful episode! If I Just fast forward to part of the sermon, I might have thought that you were reading a Buddhist text on emptiness, a heart sutra, or Dzogchen teaching… or even Avaida Vadanta… It is wonderful! Thank you!

Merry Christmas Filip and all Comparative Religionists! Excited to see a lot more next year! By the way, how awesome would a Pope Eckhart be? Pretty cool I say.
Meister Eckharts teaching will not be controversial nor heretical if one were to have the mystical inner experience because what he has to say about mysticism has nothing to do with time. What he has to say takes place beyond time . One is totally free and empty of all that has to do with time, one is free from the world of sense through the transcendence. This one birth in the soul is none other than God in each person individually and without multiplicity. One has to let go of the false self and empty out all that is false. God must increase and we must decrease. It's very difficult to let go of the false self. A leap of faith into the unknown. The kingdom of God, the life of truth is within. 😊 Meister Eckhart is a jewel ❤

Being educated in Hasidic yeshiva I am rather struck by how similar this is to a Maimer by a Hassidic Rebbe. Tweaks of the overtly Christian references and this would be thoroughly Hassidic. For me it adds to the concept of an underlying unified understanding of the 'Divine' Oneness/Unity. Remarkable indeed.
Thank you for another brilliant video. This sermon is about achieving the highest state of spiritual consciousness. It perfectly describes Nirvikalpa Samadhi or Fanaa. And sounds as though written in modern times.
The spiritual connection with the Creator is achieved through Salah ( connection ) . Quranic Salah is not the ritual 5 parayers ( parsi namaz , unislamic ) . Read Dr Kashif Khan's articles on salah on the internet and also his other articles 👍
When I was in grad school, most people in Religious Studies were pushing very hard against seeing commonalities in religious or 'mystical' experiences in divergent times and places, instead emphasizing differences in cultural and political context. But so much of that sermon would make sense in a Hindu context!
This is the best description of Christmas I have heard - amazing how it resonates with Advaita Vedanta 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I enjoy Meister Eckhart's work. Baffling audiences for 700 years
...Meister Eckhart sounds like a Born Again Pantheist...but I'm baffled...
