So that love may find a home here
In this life we are to become heaven
So that Love may find a home here.
Meister Eckhart
What is my name?
What is my name? What is your name?
What is God's Name?
Our name is: that we must be born.
And the Creator's name is: to bear.
The soul alone among all creatures
is generative like God is.
Every creature a book
Every creature is a book about God.
If the inward work is great
The outward work will never be puny if the inward work is great.
Nothing so much like God
There is nothing so much like God in all the universe as silence.
It is the nature of a word to reveal what is hidden
It is the nature of a word to reveal what is hidden. The word that is hidden still sparkles in the darkness and whispers in the silence. It entices us to pursue it, to yearn and sigh after it. For it wishes to reveal to us something about God.
In the eternal birth that occurs in the core and innermost regions of the soul
In the eternal birth that occurs in the core and innermost regions of the soul, God covers the soul with light, whereby the light grows so great in the core of our being, that it overflows into the faculties of the soul and into the outer person.
The person who sits is more ready to bring forth clear things
The person who sits is more ready to bring forth clear things than someone who walks or stands. Sitting means peace. Thus we sit, which is bowing in humility among all creatures. Then the individual comes to a quiet peace reaching this peace in light. The light is given in the silence wherein one sits and dwells.
Stillness
Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.
In the midst of silence a hidden word was spoken to me
In the midst of silence a hidden word was spoken to me. Where is this Silence, and where is the place in which this word is spoken? It is in the purest that the soul can produce, in her noblest part, in the ground, even the Being of the Soul.
