[QUOTE="Archived_member15, post: 163019, member: 17438"] My dear brother Ambarsaria kaurhug I agree Eckhart had a brilliant mind! There are variety of sources you could check up on to learn more about the Master Eckhart and his teachings. The best translations of some of his works I know of is: Meister Eckhart: The Essential Sermons, Commentaries, Treatises and Defense (Classics of Western Spirituality)by Edmund Colledge and Bernard McGinn published by Paulist press, you can buy it here off Amazon: [url="http://www.amazon.com/Meister-Eckhart-Essential-Commentaries-Spirituality/dp/0809123703/ref=pd_sim_b_3"]Amazon.com: Meister Eckhart: The Essential Sermons, Commentaries, Treatises and Defense (Classics of Western Spirituality) (9780809123704): Meister Eckhart, Edmund Colledge, Bernard McGinn, Houston Smith: Books[/url] A good online source is "[I]The Eckhart Society[/I]": [URL]http://www.eckhartsociety.org/[/URL] Its an academic organisation dedicated to the study of Eckhart's mysticism and thought. The authors write, [I]"...The Eckhart Society is dedicated to the study and promotion of the principles and teachings of Meister Eckhart, a medieval theologian, philosopher and mystic.
