An Angel (n.) is nothing but an idea of God.
The Divinity (n.) does nothing, can do nothing, and never sought anything to do; God and Godhead differ as doing differs from not-doing.
The Divinity (n.) is of forms formless, of becoming becomingless — a coincidence of opposites and so, as far as human logic goes, unconscious; only the Father welling out of it notices himself.
Editing (n.) is necessary in writing. Only the hand that erases can write the true thing.
Felix culpa (n.) is the usual road to great things: God winks at sins and mostly sends them to those he has destined for greatness, and not one apostle but fell into mortal sin — people seldom come to great things without first going somewhat astray.
God (n.) and I must be so consummately one, said Eckhart, that this he and this I are one "is," working one work eternally.
God (n.) fetched from without is never had: the man who must seek him in this or that is troubled by good company as well as evil, by the church as well as the street, for God is not yet his inner possession.
God (n.) must be born in the soul — that is why we pray and fast, why scripture was written and the whole world created: the innermost nature of all grain is wheat, of all metal gold, and of all birth, Man.
God (n.) did not exist until the soul was made: 'I am the cause that God is God!' — God comes into being and passes away.
God (n.) is to be loved as he is: a not-God, not-spirit, not-person, not-image — a sheer, clear One into which we sink from nothing to nothing.
Goodness (n.) cannot be said of God: Eckhart claims “I am good, God is not good — I am better than God,” since only the good can get better, and God lies beyond good, better, best.
Love (n.) is pervasive throughout nature such that even stones have a love, a love that seeks the ground.
The Mystic (n.) is always speaking the same language while the theologians quarrel amongst themselves.
Mysticism (n.) is the idea that the eye through which one sees God is the same eye through which God sees oneself: as such, one's eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.
Now (n.) in which God made the first man, the one in which the last man will vanish, and the one I am speaking in are all one in God.
