  • "What is God? The eternal One Life underneath all the forms of life.  What is love? To feel the presence of that One Life deep within yourself and within all creatures.  To be it.  Therefore, all love is the love of God."   Eckhart (p. 155)


    Heaven is being eternally, consciously in the presence of God.


    "True salvation is fulfillment, peace, life in all its fullness... to feel within you the good that has no opposite, the joy of Being that depends on nothing outside itself...an abiding presence... it is to 'know God' - not as something outside you but as your own innermost essence.  True salvation is to know yourself as an inseparable part of the timeless and formless One Life from which all that exists derives its being.  True salvation is a state of freedom - from fear, from suffering, from a perceived state of lack and insufficiency and therefore from all wanting, needing, grasping, and clinging..."  Eckhart (p. 147)


    and to the one i love...
