Meister Eckhart ~ Isness is God ~ Christian Mystics

Meister Eckhart — from a 'Sermon on the Ground of the Godhead'. Modern English rendering by Matthew Fox. Johannes Eckhart was one of the greatest of Christian mystics. He was born at Hochheim in Thüringen, Germany, in 1260 and died c.1327. He entered the Dominican order when he was 15. Later he became a distinguished professor and taught at different universities. His direct and accessible teachings of a person's closeness to God inspired many people and he became well known throughout Europe. He was later summoned to an inquisition for heretical teachings, at which he vigorously defended himself. ________________________________ 🙏 May whatever goodness arises from these readings/offerings be for the benefit of all sentient beings. ❤️ A sincere thank you to all listeners and donors for your appreciative comments and offerings of generosity in support of this channel and its intention.
