There’s a sanctuary of pure love within you
Come drink from its well and rest your weary soul there
First seek this Kingdom with all your heart and soul
Then all things will be added to you
Be still and know
Knock and enter through the narrow gate
To enter this Kingdom is the greatest accomplishment of a human life
For Christ lives within this sanctuary of love in your soul
Waiting patiently to guide you to heaven in this world and the next
Tag: Meister Eckhart
The Presence of Christ is Heaven
Through Christ
Heaven comes down to earth and lives within us
Do not think heaven is only some distant place in the afterlife
Heaven can be experienced right here and now
The Kingdom of heaven is already within you
Seek Christ within your soul in divine silence and heaven will penetrate your inner most being
Then the ultimate reality will reveal itself to you and you will see God’s essence in all creation
Every moment with Christ is heaven and his light will shine out into the darkness of hell all around you
Divine Silence
God is within you
Seek his love within your heart in silence
In this divine silence, the gates of heaven open
Enter through the narrow gate in your own soul where the divine therapy takes place
Always remember
Christ is already within you
Waiting patiently for you to surrender your heart to him so he may give you a peace and joy in your soul that this world can never give
Emptying Our Heart
The more fear, greed, and hatred that is in your heart
The less room there is for God’s love
We must empty our heart of all worldly attachments
Even ones that seem righteous and good
For God must possess the heart alone
Christian Mysticism
God is beyond all thoughts
God is beyond all words
God is beyond all concepts
God is pure being beyond being
God can only be experienced through love
God can not be grasped by any thoughts or reason
The more we speak of God’s true nature
The more we speak lies
May we be silent to God’s true nature and rest in his love
Shining his light into the world
Seek the Kingdom of God Within
Those who seek God outside of themselves seek wrongly and the further they go the more they drift from Christ.
They cause much confusion, violence, and suffering to the world in God’s name.
Always seek the Kingdom of God within you first and God’s grace, love and wisdom will be granted to you.
Only then can you begin to see God’s love in all things
Filling your heart with true peace and joy
God Beyond God
“Now pay attention to this. God is nameless for no one can either speak of him or know him. Therefore a pagan master says that what we can know or say of the First Cause reflects ourselves more than it does the First Cause, for this transcends all speech and all understanding . . . He is being beyond being: he is a nothingness beyond being. Therefore St. Augustine says: ‘The finest thing that we can say of God is to be silent concerning him from the wisdom of inner riches.’ Be silent therefore, and do not chatter about God, for by chattering about him, you tell lies and commit a sin. If you wish to be perfect and without sin, then do not prattle about God. Also you should not wish to understand anything about God, for God is beyond all understanding. A master says: If I had a God that I could understand, I would not regard him as God. If you understand anything about him, then he is not in it, and by understanding something of him, you fall into ignorance, and by falling into ignorance, you become like an animal since the animal part in creatures is that which is unknowing. If you do not wish to become like an animal therefore, do not pretend that you understand anything of the ineffable God.”
Meister Eckhart
A Mountain in the Storm
Breathing in I see myself as a mountain
Solid in any wind, thunder or rain
No storms of the world can bother me
When I am rooted in God’s love
All worldly conflicts can not take me from his peace when I’m connected to him
God’s grace and strength gives my heart and soul true peace that no storm can take away as long as I stay close to him
Look Within Your Heart
Don’t look to the sky for Christ
Look within your heart
For Christ is born in a disciples soul
His love shines out into the world through you
Be still and seek Christ within you
God; Simplicity and Purity
If your God is complex
It’s not the true God
But born in your image and likeness
Our intellect can never grasp God
The intellect will never understand God’s infinite grace and love for all
Only the heart can have divine union with God in pure love
Through stillness we can experience Gods love
God in direct experience is simplicity and purity
Pure love and grace
That can purify our heart from stone to flesh
Turning us into Christ moment by moment
