Meister Eckhart, the 14th century mediaeval mystic, shattered theological boundaries and beckoned humanity to a transcendent realm, challenging minds to grasp the ungraspable and inviting souls to dance with the divine.
Meister Eckhart's extraordinary mysticism is rooted in a profound understanding of the intimate relationship between the human soul and the divine.
Eckhart's teachings deeply challenged the spiritual understanding of the time.
He pointed to a God beyond conceptualisation.
A God with which one could have an unmediated communion.
Eckhart’s exploration of the "ground of the soul" reveals the very essence of human existence.
His spiritual concepts of the relationship between the Godhead and God still have the capacity to awaken one spiritually and to radically change one’s understanding of the Divine.
Meister Eckhart’s insights have not only inspired innumerable spiritual seekers, but also informed and inspired many of the deepest thinkers of Western philosophy, such as Martin Heidegger.
Today, Eckhart continues to invite contemplation and dialogue at the intersection of profound spirituality and radical intellectual inquiry.
Born in 1260, Eckhart's life unfolded in an era marked by intellectual ferment, religious fervour, and political upheaval.
Eckhart entered the Dominican Order at an early age, and began to pursue spiritual knowledge within the confines of a monastic setting.
Dominican friars are well-known for their commitment to scholarship and they provided Eckhart with a platform to immerse himself in Christian theological thought.

What a beautiful meditation.
Thank You!
My only knowledge about Meister Eckhart is from this quote:
"The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories and attachments. They burn them all away, but they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul. If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth."
I will have to research his writings further.
He’s based it makes me question how he learned all this
@@yoeyyoey8937mystics go within. Meditation and prayer
Meister was tapping into Awareness in Source, which is universal to all form and non form. His sharings and insights will cross cultural and religious boundaries and reflect truths that all may engage due to this. Truly grateful for his sharing and not hiding away his experiences.
I did not expect a video on christian mysticism to be that first stepping stone to help me start to understand the zen concept of the buddha mind. Thank you so much. Im absolutely blown away by how simply and articulatey you coukd explain eckhart's teachings
Silence is Pure Eloquence - Sri Ramana Maharshi 🙏🕉️.
Thank you for the inspiration. Much love to you and to your temple!
Beautiful understanding knowing to nothing❤❤..
Thank you, grateful to
Listen to this☘️
Love to see the Christian videos on this channel. The Christian mystics are incredible
The Christian mystics are no different than a Sufi mystic or any other being witnessing truth apart from illusion. In the hierarchy of realization denominations mean nothing outside of further division through ideology. One cannot be better than the other within truth. A single thought is additive and only creates illusion when seen through a perspective that only sees the person. Recognize both the person (your/mine ego) and thought and see that you can know both apart from each other.
I think you’ve watched a different video, nothing in this video refers to the story of Christ. The quintessence has nothing to do with that story.
@@ambiencelectronicaEckhart is a Christian mystic, though I agree the topic of the video goes beyond just Christianity
He was Catholic actually. Two weeds, from the same root...
Don’t let the spirit of antichrist blind you… .. @roberth said clearly Christian mystic. Gotta toss that out to truly be free. The Christian mystic are fascinating. And shows how the Anti God spirit has swept over. Saying this with brotherly love, hope it helps. If this video makes any sense to you, your path is on time and moving past most.
By the way, there were many times in the past, were you had to claim the church or die. And then they killed the last alchemists and mystic. It’s interesting stuff. 🐦
He was SO ahead for his time ❤️beatiful messages, I was becoming to atracted to the thing that the world can give as ''happinness'' that I almost forgot that God is always with me and he is my real souce of happiness, blesses for everybody 🙏
Why do you think he was ahead of his time? He was simply repeating teachings which had been around for at least 4,000 years, even in his time. What he was saying around 1300 AD had been said by the Hindu sages at least since 3 000 BCE. He wrote with a Christian flavour, but that's to be expected. Even with this addition, what he taught was also expressed by the early Desert Fathers, 1 000 years before.
Wow this was one of the fastest talking guided meditation I ever heard, at the same time one of the most profound and captivating ever. Thank you bro.
You can slow the video down in settings if you wish
Truly brilliantly phrased. Good kindling. For more words to further philosophize look up the urantia book “forward” to paper 196
Great idea!!
Beautiful and insightful. Could I please request you slow down the meditation part of the video. It is always too fast. ❤
Thanks for this. Really good !
This is very well done, and quite touching. Thank you!
One of my favorite videos so far by you guys
Wonderful, thank you for sharing.
Such inspiring ideas and absolutely congruent with the message from some of the great Indian sages.
Eckhart was very good. His teachings are useful at all Times.
Ty 🙏🏾
I appreciate the inclusion of the concept of Gelassenheit 😉👍
That meditation was 🔥🚒🚒
thank you!
This video made 100% sense for me, thank you
Meister Eckhart is GREAT.
Beautiful
Very beautiful video,showing the difference between Godhead and God as a concept, which will not be met in the silence of "Gelassenheit" 😊
Brilliant ❤
I have found my way to Para Brahman during the hurricane in Maine the other day, having never read anything about this sort before. I have also been tasked through "like bees in my hands" to write quite a large work of text of which I have no origin upon my past experiences.
Now that you've done a video on Meister Eckhart, it'd be nice for you to cover John Scotus Eriugena and Nicholas of Cusa, who touch on similar themes as Eckhart.
⚠️ I confess i have no sufficient intelligence to understand what reality is. Nor concepts like existence, nothingness... Looks too abstract. Yet I found Krishnamurti teachings more grounded. But what is reality and consciousness ? 🤔💥💥💥
It means so much!🕉🕉🕉🙏🙏🙏

"All that God asks of you is to go out of your way" - Meister Eckhart
I love Abrahamic Mysticism because it always reverts back to Yogic Practices
The darkness of the black hole sun....
Love your voice, I’m going to start falling asleep to these videos 💕🙏🏼🌞
Hope you do more videos with this same voice ❤️
🕉🙏
You went deep in this one! Are you referring to consciousness at the end of this video or something more primordial? Words do no justice here with the ineffable..
I have 2 cents, and I didn’t want to do this but…
This state of liberation is very magnetic, very receptive and revealing. In the all is where all reveals itself. You’ll end up choosing a lane, naturally you’ll be guided there, you’ll know. In that lane when you express something you become electric, you stop the compounding nature of the all that is receptive, this is where the danger is yet not if you never leave the place of origin within… When this happens you drop a level back or in perception you leave that state for a moment and have to not only return but return with the mindset that you know nothing, that you never left. The fib sequence is one step back, two forward, repeat. In other words you have to live, share and move along. Stay in that state by immediately realizing you never left and you’ll proceed forward as you take in the surroundings that you descended to according to the way your electric nature was received, the ascension back is natural when you’re open. Mind you it’s dangerous because reception mirrors back the illusion. It is all here, you have to dance with it and just as you take a step back, the eternal awareness that you’ve let go will have it so nature propels you back to your place of origin and with that cessation of control momentum will carry you another step forward. That step forward will bring you more of what abundance has had in store, it’s beautiful. It’s an elegant dance where all is watching and all is dancing together.
Peace and love.
In the dance of the soul, where whispers echo in the heart,
A rhythm unfolds, in life's sacred art.
In each step backward, a wisdom gained,
Forward we leap, in the cosmic terrain.
Through valleys of shadows, over mountains of light,
Our spirits wander, in day and in night.
Detached yet connected, in this worldly play,
Finding our essence, in the fray.
Breathe in, breathe out, the cycle flows,
In the garden of the soul, the mystic rose grows.
The dance of existence, a tapestry divine,
Each thread intertwined, in the grand design.
The journey inward, a path to the stars,
Through layers of being, breaking invisible bars.
In unity we find, the echo of our call,
In the heart's silent chamber, where the veils fall.
The world a stage, our roles we play,
Yet in the soul's light, true colors display.
In this dance, a sacred communion,
With the universe, in mystical union.
So let us dance, with hearts wide open,
In the rhythm of existence, unspoken.
For in this dance, we find our way,
To the essence of being, in eternal sway.
Good informative video for spiritual practitioners.
XLNT😇
A video on Christian Eastern Orthodoxy and Theosis would be cool
🌿💜
❤
To take Eckhart's ideas to the ultimate non-dual realisation, God is not any particular thing, but God is also NOT not any particular thing.
Chidananda Rupa Shivoham Shivoham ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Almost?
They got me as Porete, Bruno and almost as Hildegard!
He was so inspired by Saint Dionysius the Areopagite's teachings. He is known for having written the Apophatic Theology.
🙏
Imagine being executed because you don't believe in someone else's bullshit and that you have your own ideas. That's what heresy is. A thought crime.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i’m a big fan of master echkart , I would’ve immediately clicked on this video if I knew it was about him !
great video nonetheless ❤
Meister Eckhart does not translate to Master, but rather his title of Magister. 😊
@@potto1488meister translates to master
@@sarahcusack Eckhart took the title as Magister, not Master.
Meister Eckhart gets closest to what I believe about God and reality.
If only this could be screened at every Church on Sunday. We may just weed out all the dogma and return to the unitive religion of Love. That which Christ directly taught.
Could Eckart Tolle be the reincarnation of Meister Echart ?
It's almost like a form of _SHAMANism_ in some ways (or perhaps, the _collision of_ Mysticism - the contemplative pursuit of the ultimate, with Shamanism - the ability to _practically commune_ with "the whys" of things). Note that one can suggest the whole colonial, prohibitionist and other such set of enterprises can be understood as a subtle and broad persecution of _SHAMAN_ ism that States and Churches wanted. Churches suppress SHAMANism because SHAMANism due to its directly _accessing_ and not merely _contemplative_ aspect, threatens their ability to _control_ knowledge and thus their _power_ hegemony. It's all about power. "Follow the money" is not nearly as good as "follow the POWER". It's where the POWER is, that's where the evil motive is. Power both corrupts and draws the corruptible. Power is so hard to handle, and indeed what Anarchism can be thought of as is as nothing more or less than the ultimate admission of humility, that no human being is perfect and integrityful enough to be truly fit for power and that in every other scheme we come up with, we are fooling ourselves, even with the most liberal ones.
Nothing mattering. What a paradox.
Indian philosophy of advaita says the same thing
We should not put the cart before the horse to realize "ourselves." The cart is the silence of infinity which is called Universal Consciousness. The horse is what is going on with what is called "our" Universal Mind which is "our" shared Group Soul. Once we recognize our shared Universal Mind in each other we realize everything of Universal Comsciousness. This is the awareness of what is called in yoga the "subtle body. Once this is realized there is no more intellectual speculation because as the most powerful koan in the world goes: WORDS ARE TRAPS.
More of us will become further illuminated and enlightened when we achieve a four-hour workday.
The Ancient Hindus related this many thousands of years earlier through these words: Neti Neti…
Great video. Miss the voices that were used in the previous videos tho. The lady and the gent that spoke with a bit of an indian accent, had much calmer voices, better suited for guided meditation. I've got nothing against using professional voice actors, but one can observe when someone reads a blank text as opposed to presenting ideas which resonate with their heart. Great video still
Actually the current narrator is the one who writes the scripts and the others were reading from teleprompters! :)
Thanks for the feedback though.
To be honest, I like this voice more, but I respect your opinion!
John 1:5
“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
Ramana Maharishi said he knew two ways to enlightenment, Self Surrender and Self Inquiry. Lets suppose that a being achieved Enlightenment through Self Inquiry, why would he, then, still need to surrender, if he was alreafy Enlightened?
I have studied Enlightened beings for 23 years. There are many paths to the top of the mountain, and Enlightened beings come in many forms. The Mahasiddhas did it their own way.
There is no difference between surrender and inquiry. They are exactly the same. No one achieves enlightenment. It is merely re-cognised (by no one) that there never has been anyone.

Probably don't meditate on outer darkness 🤨
We are Brahman (Pure Consciousness) experiencing itself as the UNIVERSE.
intellectualism is the godhead, but not the way to god. as said here, only in pressence can god be experienced.
now you have to be present to catch a ball or drive a car, but this is not the wHoly state required, it is only the Alpha beginning. the wHoly is a process between the Alpha and Omega's completion, an implosion we know as Bliss, and we all Know Bliss within this Lifes experience, so we remember, recognize IT.
Bliss is the implosion of Consciouness to zero point.
eg. you notice a thing, your preferred point of attention, a flower(any thing in or out), and you want more(wHoly, all of IT) so you lean in for a smell, a texture, anything more. what happens,?
a modicum of Bliss's ecstacy. this is the first stage, phase of implosion, and where most stop the implosion to Bliss zero point where all the flower is is revealed, wHoly zero point.
if you keep going all THE WAY to Omega, you WILL remember, recognize wHoly Bliss,
I leave the conclusions to your revealation
Okay, bit of constructive criticism, the incessant little sound effects in the background are so distracting that I turned the video off about three minutes into it. Maybe consider either turning the volume down on them a bit, or spacing the sounds out more. Or both.
Interesting. No wonder the church hierarchy didn’t like Him. They thought they had god in their pocket, and he was claiming a direct line. He was going much further.
“My second name today is Eckhart. I would have loved for him to have been born in the East. To be born among Germans and then to write or speak about the ultimate is a difficult job. But the poor man did it, and did it perfectly. Germans are Germans; whatsoever they do, they do it perfectly. Even today it seems one German sannyasin is still knocking. Perfection! Listen to his knocks, how beautiful they sound amidst all this silence. It is a wonder that Eckhart, among the Germans, the most male chauvinist race in the world, remained yet in his heart, and spoke from there. Uneducated, poor, of no political status, of no economic status, of no status at all - just a beggar, but so rich. Very few people have been so rich. Rich in his being - his BEING. Write BEING in capital letters. These two words, being and becoming, have to be understood. Becoming is a process with no beginning and no end, a continuum. But being is not a process at all, it simply is. Call it is-ness, and you will be very close to it. Being is neither of time nor of space, it is a transcendence. Transcendence - again, write TRANSCENDENCE in capital letters. Alas that you cannot write it in golden letters. It is a word that should be written in gold, pure gold - not eighteen carat but twenty-four carat, one hundred percent gold.”
Of course germans are the daitya/ danavas of the past. Little high tempo purging energy.
Godhead = Natural Instincts...
That’s all a bunch of made up stuff you are everything your perception is what creates reality. You are here to experience and expand. That’s how we expand through creating perception like a dream to expand ourselves with intention for our own development. We are one being viewing everything that is our self from every perception possible that’s how we grow.
Hes concepts are just older, than the new abrahamic ideas. This is advaita, and buddhist .
Abrahamic ideas are older than Buddhism tho. The Buddha lolived only 500 bc.
Mystics have gotten these ideas from going within at many places and at many times. This isn't from advaita or Buddhism, but from the same place those people got them from. They didn't read advaita vedanta in German monestaries in the 1300's.
I appreciate your comment 🙏. I don't think we can date this philosophy . I think it is Eternal 🕉️. It was the ' IAm ' before Abraham was born ( as Christ said ' .
I do think that Advaita Vedanta is the greatest philosophy in the history of humanity and only understand Christ through it 🙏. Of course the Truth is beyond labels . Sri Ramana Maharshi embodied Advaita but was beyond it 🙏🕉️🕊️
Was the intention of guided meditation “a 100 metre sprint to nothingness ?” 😂
better guided meditation would be where there is no rushing like this one.
You can slow it down in your settings.
Being vs NonBeing or Personal vs Impersonal or Dualism vs NonDualism.....How many debates are held in this topic. For me it's simple or complicated as it's the question "Which is first - the chicken or the egg?" Such a questions are important and silly at the same time. God did not created our personalities or egos to kill them. Our individuality is necessary. Too much individuality created egoism and too less individuality creates pathetic died "zombi personal".
Such a explanations are useless and paradoxical because every saints is telling that noone can explain what God is but they are giving explanations on the same time.
There are so many religions and doctrines and paths to God and they are all like receipts for bread. You may read 10000+ but you will know what bread is when you Taste it.
For all Searcher out there - give a real reasonable freedom to you soul and hearth and the soul knows what to do. When you give a bread to your stomach - do you explain to it what to do with it?
Pray from heart and light the candle within you. Invite God and God will come. God likes clean hearts and reasonable minds.
Why not just study Jhana, with an innet ingene of taoust alchemy neigng, to hace enough life force to drop the breath into the deep sea of awareness, nonOscillating, singularity, he spunds very influenced by buddhist zen, this is Samadhi, Jhana. Practice in waking and dreaming awareness. 8f it oscillates its Leela, samsara. The between behind has no movement at a quantum level.
You have WAY too many misspelled words, unreadable, especially the second sentence.
Yeah, but no thanks.
I just don't see how there could be any logic behind nothingness, pure potentiality giving birth to God? Nothingness posseses no quality which could cause the creator. Feel free to respond to my comment.
How does silence produce sound?
How does the first thought come?
It's not "nothing", it's nothing-ness.
Why do we call it nothing-ness? Because it's not an object to you (So you can't point to it in your mind), nor is it nothing.
The author Eckhart Tolle is the reincarnation of this man.
Please read A New Earth
Eckhart Tolle's real name is Ulrich Leonard Tölle. He was a Cambridge academic and extensively read Meister Eckhart whille studying there. Later in his life he changed his name to Eckhart in recognition of the influence that Meister Eckhart's teachings had on him.
Sounds like just bad poetry to me? "Enlightenment" obviously isn't all it's cracked up to be, is it? I expect something that would make even the sudden appearance of aliens with advanced technology mundane.
The man was straying people from God.
How ?
Please don't use cheap "esotericism", I read the Master's texts.
