Mr Eckhart i am in critical case i see many speech but i cant change what is solution for me i known i can do anything but…..

David Dibben says:

Having been in the grip of evangelical christianity I know that what Eckhart says is true. The pain body can use ANY system to further itself. I was so "right" and everyone else was so "wrong". When I left christianity I had to release the former religion and people in it from my blame, as it was more of the same I'm "right" they are "wrong" but from the other direction! I was a victim and a perpetrator, through which the dysfunctional ego operated. I'm still strongly attracted to religion but realise the need to handle it with care! Our motivation is so important.

I like the depth of thought

Mario Gee says:

I deeply agree with you, some people need to be a part of the religious community other people don't, this depends on the state of your mind or level of your consciousness.

bart van ransbeeck says:

Some think they need 'religion' to feel connected or have the illusion of safety, some are feeling safe and connected and in synchronicity without 'religion'….socrates called this the difference between doxa -pistijs' and gnosis 'epistemij….difference between believing and experiencing

Dirk Baeyens says:

religion made themselves great thanks to ancient wisdom..

Maiyah Tucker says:

Apollon the INTP says:

Jeshua is still the Messiah, indepent of how you or others see this. I recommend anyone to follow his way.

John Green says:

When it comes to religion, be it Christianity, Islam, Judaism, law of attraction or any other of the worlds 100s of religions, I think of the Eckhart video where he reads from the Toa and when he quotes two different Zen masters. " Do not seek for the truth, merely cease to cherish opinions and cling to ideas".Eckhart reads, and he then explains the Zen masters are not saying don't have opinions and ideas, only not to " Cherish our opinions or cling to our ideas, as if they were the truth. Wonderful wisdom and if only we could all adopt this philosophy, how much more peaceful and enjoyable would this experience be for everyone 🙏🙏🙏🙏

You only need Jesus,.no religion —

YOUNESS ACHKOUR says:

explained: Instead of silence, a person matches his speech to the word of God by reciting the Noble Qur’an… where presence is with the very sublime self; God has lost us, and in dialogue with God, we will be exalted and rise to the ranks…. Instead of closing the eyes and concentrating, we turn towards presence with the heart, where the observations are with open eyes, while the spiritual awakening enlightens the insight…. And of course, instead of rigid physical stillness, we do the movements of standing, kneeling, and prostrating to God by remembering God with His most beautiful names and sublime attributes; Thus, beauty, splendor, and perfection are achieved in the human relationship with applied love. This applied love reflects positively on the behavior of a Muslim since puberty (because it is the age in which love must be activated and applied and rationalize the energy of love in a person).

YOUNESS ACHKOUR says:

The application of rigid love is an application for jinn beings. The application of sublime love is an application for the supreme being: man. The jinn, their prayer and worship of God, is a rigid, applied love that is not suitable for a person to follow because it does not lead him to human perfection and does not create a connection between him and his Lord. While prayer in the religion of Islam, the religion of love, is something else and with other tastes… Islam is a religion of love, it is obligatory to pray, and prayer in Islam is a kind of deep, sublime meditation that I personally consider to be the finest type of yoga, or say if you like, a very advanced yoga. Where in the prayer of the Muslim person, he transforms all the energies of rigid love towards positive activation that multiplies the good deeds on several levels… explained:

YOUNESS ACHKOUR says:

Does God think? He is the only Creator of the universe, and only he who knows himself truly. {You know what is in my soul, and I do not know what is in your soul} verse from the Holy Quran. God is the one who put Islam as its reference and methodology. Therefore, Islam is not an ideology, but a behavior that follows a love that binds us to God, the Great Creator. Man has the energies of solid love, which must be activated: Silence in presence is solid love. Closing eyes in a focused presence, whether on the darkness or the scenic view, is solid love. Physical stillness where there is no movement, only presence in itself, is rigid love.
