It is a book about discovering the secret to all the things we most desire: contentment, meaning, peace of mind, and true freedom. This skilfully edited translation of selections from the writings of Meister Eckhart provides a roadmap to the spiritual life for contemporary seekers. Eckhart takes us on a journey of discovery; a journey in which we learn to let go, relinquish our need to know everything, and lose those things that we think are important for a life of worth. In the end, he shows us that the true secret is this: to find yourself, you must lose yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere is timeless wisdom from a medieval mystic who has influenced a wide range of spiritual teachers and mystics both inside and outside the Christian tradition.

These fresh, stunning renderings of Eckhart's writings in poetic form bring life to one of the great spiritual voices of any age. They reveal what it means to love God and find meaning in darkness—not darkness in general, but your darkness, because it is the one thing you know something about. Without facing your darkness, you'll never know what it means to desire the light.

In recent centuries, the Roman Catholic establishment has rehabilitated him, and the late John Paul II spoke of his work with fondness. However, what makes him of particular interest is the fact that he has influenced a wide range of spiritual teachers and mystics both inside and outside the Christian tradition. Erich Fromm, Arthur Schopenhauer, Dag Hammarskjold, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, D. T. Suzuki, Rudolf Steiner, and Matthew Fox have all credited Eckhart as being an important influence on their thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, his work has influenced the development of 20th century American Buddhism and the Theosophical tradition. Eckhart wrote at a time—much like our own—when society appeared to be coming apart at the seams. Monastic orders were in turmoil, the papacy had fled to Avignon, apocalyptic fears and prophecies abounded, and the Inquisition was in full swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the midst of all that chaos and uncertainty, he captured the many forms and stages of the love of God, the mystic path, and the journey of transformation—in language so startling that he, too, was often accused of heresy. Now, seven centuries later, this fresh, stunning rendering of his work translates the essence of one of Christianity’s greatest poetic and spiritual voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a book that conveys the heart of Eckhart's teaching on what it means to love God and embark on an authentic spiritual journey—a journey that is characterised by mystery, paradox, and an embrace of the unknown.
