‘When the soul is empty of all things, infinite being naturally fills her with itself; and the more she is emptied, the more completely she is filled. To become nothing is not to vanish, but to be freed of everything that is not essential – all content, all form, all borrowed identity – so that nothing remains but the pure openness of being.’

Continuing my series on Meister Eckhart for paid subscribers, we explore what the Christian mystic calls the eternal knowing, always present, in which infinite being recognises itself in you, as you – and discover that this is not something added to who you are, but the unveiling of what you eternally are.
