Nicholas Colloff – Seeing with the Eye of the Heart: The Spiritual Path of Meister Eckhart
How do we come to know with the eye of the heart?
Meister Eckhart is one of the great mystics in the Christian tradition whose writings and witness have attracted seekers after truth from all spiritual traditions and from none. He invites his listeners to peel away our attachments, dust the mirrors of our soul and unveil our true natures that are continuously being birthed, gifted by God.
In doing this we discover: “The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God’s eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.” – Meister Eckhart
From this flows a gratitude that animates a compassionate engagement with the world, with whatever and whomsoever we greet and meet. He connects the depths of ourselves with the openness to service, one which he witnessed in his own incredibly busy, bustling life!
