Nessa Wesley’s Reviews > Meister Eckhart's Book of Secrets: Meditations on Letting Go and Finding True Freedom > Status Update

Why do we assume that God became human only once in the Incarnation? Not so. God becomes human here and now, just as he did then.

Do you think you can only find God in one way? Then consider this, you cannot find God in any particular way since God is not bound to this way or that, so do not desire the way but rather the One that is The Way. When you do this, you will find that every way leads to God because every way is God.

What do you think? That God has abandoned you? Especially now? What person sees a friend in sorrow, pain or loneliness without encouraging, without being near, present. Do not be foolish, my friend. God is here!

If you want to know about God (...), try forgetting yourself.

Forget about being spiritual, and work at becoming simple.

Practice letting go, and then let go even more.

You must know that the only sure way of removing every obstacle to God comes through poverty. You have to be naked.

If you were so holy, you would not need God at all and your work would leave you calm and confident. If you were so holy, you would be imperturbable when others try turning you away from God's presence.

And if you choose anger, you'll find that God stays far away from you. For as much as you lack peace, you will lack God.
