Meister Eckhart (1260-1328) was a priest, a mystic, and nearly a heretic (he died before the Church court's verdict). In the 20th century, the Roman Catholic Church rehabilitated him and the late Pope 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, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, D. T. Suzuki, and Rudolf Steiner have all credited Eckhart as being an important influence on their thought.

This is a book about discovering the secret to all the things we most desire: contentment, meaning, peace of mind, and true freedom.

And in the end he shows us that the true secret is: to find yourself, you must lose yourself.

I’ll be talking about life, thoughts I might have, things I see, trying always to improve and keeping up with it happening.Part of the reason I want to do this is because I don't get to talk to all of you all the time, sometimes rarely.
