| | Heer on Eckhart, Tauler and Suso (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | The idea of the Grail was a mixture of Persian symbolism, the Templar mystique of the order of knighthood, the idea of the Church of the Holy Spirit, and the society formed by the new nobility. |
 | | Wherever there was a sense that the ecclesiastical order had grown still and unhallowed, and people were trying to reanimate it from within, to permeate it or to overthrow it, Tauler's spirit took root. |
 | | He and his disciples were excommunicated because they taught that good works, the Sacraments and spiritual practices had grown impotent, that monasticism was not a way to salvation, and that serious and aspiring souls were led astray by a false spiritual discipline whose end was self-seeking [44]. |
