"The more you are able to completely withdraw all your powers and forget all things — along with whatever images they have left in you — the farther you will travel away from created things and their images, and the closer and more receptive you will be to this birth. Were you to forget everything completely and be unaware of them, you would lose even the awareness of your own body, just as it occurred with St. Paul when he said, ". . . whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth. . ." (2 Corinthians 12:2)"
Meister Eckhart (c. 1260 – 1328) was a German Monist philosopher, mystic, and theologian of the Catholic Church.
