	Meister Eckhart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johannes Eckhart (1260 – 1328), also known as Eckhart von Hochheim and widely referred to as Meister Eckhart, was a German theologian, philosopher and mystic, born near Erfurt, in Thuringia.
		Eckhart admitted his error or explained the reasoning behind all challenged articles of his writing, and was thus not burned, but he died before his trial was concluded.
		Eckhart was one of the most influential Christian Neoplatonists, and although technically a faithful Thomist (as a prominent member of the Dominican Order), Eckhart wrote on metaphysics and spiritual psychology, drawing extensively on mythic imagery.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Meister Eckhart
		Eckhart's activity was also displayed in the pulpit, of which he was an illustrious ornament, and in his writings in the form of treatises and sayings.
		The studies of Henry Denifle, O.P., while showing Eckhart to have been less of a philosopher than he was supposed to be, show also that he was a Scholastic theologian of very superior merit, although not of the first order.
		The very nature of Eckhart's subjects and the untechnicality of his language were calculated to cause him to be misunderstood, not only by the ordinary hearers of his sermons, but also by the Schoolmen who listened to him or read his treatises.

	Meister Eckhart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Eckhart was born in Hocheim, a village in the German provice of Thuringia, the province which was also the birth place of Karl Marx and Martin Luther.
		Eckhart must have been a brilliant student, as he was sent to the University of Paris at the age of 33 in 1293 to earn his Master's degree, which qualified him to teach theology, a rare honour in the Catholic Church.
		Eckhart may seem to be pre-empting the post-modern revolution in the later half of the twentieth century where good and bad are seen to be relative human constructions and do not possess intrinsic value.

	Meister Eckhart
		Before this time, and in all probability at Strasbourg, where he appears to have been for some years, he had come in contact with the Beghards and Brethren of the Free Spirit, whose fundamental notions he may, indeed, be said to have systematized and expounded, in the highest form to which they could attain.
		Eckhart appears, however, to have made a conditional recantation -- that is, he professed to disavow whatever in his writings could be shown to be erroneous.
		Eckhart is in truth the first who attempted with perfect freedom and logical consistency to give a speculative basis to religious doctrines.

		Eckhart replies: "If it were not God's will for a single instant, it would not be--it must always be God's will (43)." So allowing what is to simply be is both a daily lesson in detachment and a sure path towards the inner calm which Eckhart calls equanimity...

	"Meister Eckhart: Friend of God" by I. M. Oderberg
		Eckhart stressed the presence within us all of the divine spark that is of God, and that the human soul, its vehicle, must be purified of selfishness before it can be elevated to the "Godhead," the consciousness that pervades the universe.
		Meister Eckhart holds before us the vision of God as being at home within us, not relegated to a world outside of ourselves.
		The difference between Eckhart's vision of human life in relation to the universe and the orthodox view lies in his gnostic experience and advocacy, colored as it is with the best features of the Neoplatonic concept of essence within material expressions.

		Eckhart does not doubt that such knowledge is given in the traditional faith of the Church, but it is not sufficient for one who is longing for salvation.
		Eckhart leaves no doubt that the entire trinitarian process must not be conceived of as a temporal one, but as a process extending throughout eternity (254, 10).
		From this view of Eckhart's follow a number of the most strikino, statements in which the soul is made to share in the attributes and works of God, including the creation (119, 28-40; 267, 4; 283, 37-284, 7).

	the mysticism of Meister Eckhart of Hochheim
		They felt that Eckhart's mysticism could alienate the believer from the hierarchy of the church, because salvation was not dependent anymore on church membership and church rituals, but on the will of the believer to get into a close relationship with the god inside.
		For Eckhart is very explicit about this, even though it was very dangerous for him to write it down: every human soul wherein the god is born is Jesus.
		Perhaps we may conclude that the parallels between the mysticism of Eckhart and the mysticism in the Eastern religions are not a coincident.

	Meister Eckhart: An Introduction
		On 13 February, 1327, Eckhart publicly declared that he was not a heretic, that what was attributed to him as heresy had been distorted or misunderstood, and that anything inadvertently heretical he had said he now retracted.
		But Eckhart came into his own in the twentieth century, for as the West came into genuine contact with Asian religious traditions, notably Vedanta and Mahayana Buddhism, Eckhart’s genius for apophatic or negative theology suddenly could be seen in a new light.
		Eckhart writes of this new birth that in it God pours into the soul in such abundance of light, that it floods the soul’s ground, running into her powers and into the outward man as well.
