THIS BOOK IS ABOUT one of the most profound mystics and philosophers of the Middle Ages, the German Dominican monk Eckhart von Hochheim, better known as Meister Eckhart, who near the end of his life was accused of heresy and convicted by the Inquisition. He was probably the first Christian philosopher to recognize the importance of living in the Now, like more recent mystics like Krishnamurti, Eckhart Tolle, and Ram Dass have: "There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand years hence..." According to him: "Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time." **CONTENTS PART 1: A MEDIEVAL MYSTIC AHEAD OF HIS TIME PART 2: SERMONS & MEDITATIONS (ANNOTATED) I - The Nearness of The Kingdom II - The Angel's Greeting III - True Hearing IV - The Self-Communication of God V - Sanctification VI - Outward and Inward Morality VII - The Attractive Power of God **OTHER BOOKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR: +THE NEW AGE CHRISTIAN SCROLLS VOLUME 1: MEISTER ECKHART Life and Legacy VOLUME 2: JESUS IN INDIA: The Lost Years of The Son of God VOLUME 3: THE SECRET TEACHINGS OF JESUS +THE SECRET OF NOW SERIES (7 VOLUMES) VOLUME 1: Living in "The Now" in Easy Steps VOLUME 2: Buddhist Meditation For Beginners VOLUME 3: Spiritual Hindu Tales to Calm Your Mind VOLUME 4: Christian Meditation in Easy Steps VOLUME 5: Meditation in 7 Easy Steps VOLUME 6: Stop Negative Thinking in 7 Easy Steps VOLUME 7: Understanding Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Living in The Now VOLUME 8: Eckhart Tolle: His Life & Quest for The Power of Now VOLUME 9 Understanding Eckhart Tolle 2: In Search of The Power of Now VOLUME 10 DALAI LAMA, His Magical Childhood and Teenage Years
