- Johannes Eckhart was one of the greatest of Christian mystics. He was born at Hochheim in Thüringen, Germany, in 1260 and died c.1327. He entered the Dominican order when he was 15. Later he became a distinguished professor and taught at different universities.
His direct and accessible teachings of a person's closeness to God inspired many people and he became well known throughout Europe. He was later summoned to an inquisition for heretical teachings, at which he vigorously defended himself.
Please note that my recordings can all be downloaded via my Google Drive, details of which can be found under the COMMUNITY tab.

Dear Listeners, this recording has some copyrighted music in the video so YT plays ads to collect revenue for the record company. Sorry about that. There are many ways to overcome this. You can pay for a UA-cam Premium subscription and have no ads appear on any videos. Hope you can find some good options. The ads will only appear on those readings where the music is copyrighted and I am trying to avoid this now as much as possible these days. Warm regards
Thank you so much for your detailed reply... and for all you give here... Deepest Gratitude... 🤗
If you can afford to, upgraded to YT Premium & all these recordings play ad-free. It’s not cheap but for me it’s been worth it judt to enjoy this channel alone. There’s a 1 month free trial available & I’d recommend using that at least.
It’s so beautiful to realize more and more that all true mystics are really speaking the same language, just with seemingly different terms. The one reality can present itself in so many different ways and what a joy it is to explore its various expressions. Peace and love to you, thank you once again for these videos!
Truth is one but its manifestation is manifold.
@@densaakaldte1 wow...that is a wonderfully succinct phrasing. Brilliant!
I'd like to second this comment. Peace be unto you who uploaded this video and also to you reading this comment. 😁
Amen they are brother
Let those with ears to hear...hear now! Now we understand what Jesus was pointing to....
It is a sin to teach those who are not ready to hear, and besides they can't hear it anyway...Gita
Big Love to youMark☯️🕉❤️🙏🏼
"The only thing that burns in Hell is the part that won't let go of life. Your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they are not punishing you. They are freeing your Soul. If you are frightened of dying, you will see devils tearing your life away. But if you have made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth. For the person who has learned to let go, and let be, nothing can get in the way again."

that is exactly what master dogen said
lol
samething
i think the religions are made for the people who don't want to face their selves
I love this passage also.💝
Have you had this experience?
Discipline to be still and quiet need not be a challenge. Letting it happen. Samaneri's readings point the way. With calm and soothing music that melts the ego from sounding.
Meister Eckhart... one of my favorite mystics. Merci
🩷 your youtube corner is a place of sacred bliss 🩷
Thank you,
For this Precious diamonds
This narrator truly has a beautiful and soothing voice.
Thank you , thank you , thank you 💜🦋🙏🏻
Meister Eckhart, the man from whom God hid nothing. One of my favorite Mystics. One of those truly remarkable human beings.
Same here 🙌
Agree !!!!
The man from whom God hid nothing, not even the truth that Jesus Christ is the Truth
Truly 🙏🏼
Beautiful
Everything is pointing to the same thing. Grace continues to softly whisper God is here always here and letting go of ideas of myself and the world is all that is necessary to realize Heaven is Now. I bow in deep Reverence and Gratitude for your sweet sweet offerings.
Lovely to know that this Meister is speaking so deeply to you Kent. I hope you are keeping well.
Hi,
Wonderful Kent....when Jesus was asked about the kingdom of heaven...on two occasions...he first answered the kingdom of heaven is within you...the second time he said the kingdom of heaven is spread across the face of the earth but men do not have eyes to see it...both pointing to here...this ...just as it is....no where to go ...no separation. ...nothing more to be gained...if anything as you point out...letting go...surrender..☯️🕉❤️🙏🏼
It touches me deeply to listen to your beautiful voice In speaking this truth, I bow down to that with gratefulness, how lucky that I have found that, or has it found me ?
Thank you! I needed those words
Such beautiful words ❤
When the time is right you find the teacher, Eckhart is truly a realised being,and your soothing voice brings the teachings home ,thank you❤️
Imagine if the church, my church, embraced these words and taught them.
Thank you so much for making this. So poetic, so meditative
❤🙏🫴💫
No words to describe my gratitude 😌
Thanks for all that you do, Jayasara
Silence is the perennial flow of language interrupted by speaking

I have always loved Eckhart and I love the way you read him with the long pauses. I have started listening to this every night before sleep. Thank you!
Thank you Lord Jesus!✝️
I feel this one will stay with me for a lifetime ... music was brilliant
I love your work.
Thank you
Thank you
I so deeply appreciate your gift to us of these teachings. Beautifully read. The scope and inclusivity of your selections is what is so needed. Thank you for Meister Eckhart and Marguerite Porete. And, thank you for the extensive work with Naragadatta Maharaj. I'm left in SilentGratitude.
@@claudiabefeld1226 Thanks Claudia: You're reminding me that they (Eckhart, Porete and Nisargadatta) point the same way and even incarnate the same soul. Perhaps the message to me is to not hide all the cross cultural sources that inform my non-dual Christian perspective. 👃
Her narration is outstanding always
What a precious gift God has blessed us with in abundance, The Silence in Us, alas the intellect is in poverty of noise. Thank you for making these words of Wisdom available to me.
So utterly Beautiful.
I am most grateful that You appeared on my suggestions. I am completely absorbed.
Absolutely love the variety of Teachers & teachings 🙏🏻
Straight to the heart... Just incredible
Thank you so much dear Soul for your reading. If anyone interested, on Internet Yale University has a site where "The Complete Mystical Works of Meister Eckhart" can be downloaded in PDF form for free. Divine Love Fills Our Souls!❤❤❤

Such is Grace!
How wonderful of you to share the most precious gems of immemorial wisdom. Thank you from all my beingness🙏✨much peace, love, beauty and truth to all✨
I've jut started listening to the Christian Mystics and as always, hearing their words, through your voice, (accompanied by your choice of music), is beyond words. I hope you will give us more of these sacred mystics, and more readings of Meister Eckhart, Teresa of Avila, and on and on the list goes. Your videos have changed my life, literally.
Thankyou for these Christian Mystic’s
I have gratitude.
Thank you for your Beautiful work... it is a Blessing to those who come to your site...
As beautiful and inspiring as the readings are in this video, I can’t get over that the background music is Dearly Beloved from Kingdom Hearts stretched out immensely. Makes it that much more meaningful to me! 😂
''...let go and let be'' ! Your ''Reading Emptiness'' does its magic as always! Bless
Everything that you share is truly a Divine sharing and it penetrates more deeply each listening is heard .
This is such graceful service . Deep gratitude and love .
"Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed." The fact that God is no farther away than at the "door of your heart" is the essence of freedom> Jesus declares: "Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him and he with me." Thanks for uploading these wonder-filled thoughts.
Thanks.
Thank you.
While I find the quote beautiful. This doesn't sound like Meister Eckhart ... in fact Eckhart has a whole sermon devoted to saying Nothingness precedes/outranks Divine Love.
Thank u for this beautiful message which clarifies more and more to be silent and listen and hear God speaking to. me. In this true peace will be found with a peaceful. Heart. How all humans long for this in this anxiety stricken world we find ourselves in right now. Bless u for these beautiful messages. I continue to flow from my spirit and to be live with gratitude and staying fully present xx
There are so many profound quotes in this clip. Meister Eckhart clearly understands the deepest reality. I give thanks and love to the creators of this channel for compiling and sharing this work. ❤️🙏
This needs to be taught in School. I will teach this to my kids one day In Sha Allah. The man was really onto something.
Just like in his day when he was threatened by being called a heretic, anyone teaching this is school today will be eliminated.
@@blueskies1237 doubt it
Meditation is taught in some schools as well as prisons. There is reason to hope.
The music is just perfect. Thank you.
Bless you. My love.
Thank you.
Your reading is so beautiful! Including the long silent pauses, which allow us to steep in the words.
Meister Eckhart is so muck like Jiddu Krishnamurti, my "non-teacher" (he always said he was not a "teacher", only a "friend"). K pointed to the same silence, as in Meister Eckhart's vision.
Here are some of my favourite quotes:
"To be receptive to the highest truth, and to live therein, a man must needs be without before and after, untrammeled by all his acts or by any images he ever perceived, empty and free, receiving the divine gift in the eternal Now… "
"Above thought is the intellect, which still seeks: it goes about looking, spies out here and there, picks up and drops. But above the intellect that seeks is another intellect which does not seek but stays in its pure, simple being, which is embraced in that light. "
"Do not imagine that your reason can grow to the knowledge of God"
Thank you. Your presentations are so meaningful and so helpful. Your voice penetrates deep in the heat and mind. God bless you
Thank you for introducing Ekhart to me.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo!
Hey Dr David Hawkins would approve.... this calibrates at "1000+" ... Gloria Inexcelsis Deo"
So beautiful, Thank you. 🙏❤️☀️
Oh my Heart, you are truly Beautiful. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
A most beautiful contemplation
and the music sublime.
Thank you ❤
🙏❤️ThankYou ❤️🙏
Absolutely breathe taking ❤️
I love it .
I'm glad I came across your videos. It is medicine to the soul.
thank you for the blessing of truth that we are one in the light of love.
The words of the mystic Meister Eckhart is holy, wholly and holly
Your right about one thing once you lay eyes and ears on the kingdom, nothing else will ever get in the way. No material possession , no idea, not even a rational voice will stand in your way. I've been ready to walk away for years now. I have nothing, I am nothing, an empty vessel. Waiting for the harvest with graditude . I Don't belong here but I am here now 😇
You do belong here though. You were always part of Gods plan to be here.
awesome quotes. hits the spot. thank you. also appreciate the subtitles.
So sacred. Thanks Samaneri💗🙏🏻
The best I have heard so far!🙏🏾❤️
I love you thank you 🙏🏼✨💗
Your voice and your reading truly does do justice to these texts. Thank you 💓🙏
The path to our lord is the one where all the religious paths merge into a single religion and that religion is named LOVE .
thank you
Beautiful now I can sleep in peace love Yvonne
Enveloping my infinite self entirely. Thank you x
Beautiful
Your recordings are invaluable.
On behalf of the myriad lazy non-beings, I thank you! 🙏⚘🙌
Mark, I think you summarise here, very well, what I have become aware of on my own journey over the past 30 years. Thank you.
Dear Jayasara, thank you very much for your work! It makes me happy to hear your recitations in such a deep vibration of true awareness. I also appreciate that you choose Meister Eckhart in this way like Padmasambhava. Mystic language ist universal- you show it. 🙏
This is so amazing, so many years ago, and he understood it all.
I'm so grateful that God made me read this book, where I found Meister Eckart's name...I loved listening to this, very good for Meditation, THANK YOU ❤🙏❤
Spread LOVE around you, we're using our ego too much, dividing people by race, it's insanity! Shower Love instead of Hate!
Beautiful. Thank you. 🙏
Your channel is pure gold ❤
What a undiscovered treasure (for me) this is…pure nourishment. Thank you sister

This is great. Thank you :)
Beautiful teaching to begin the new year 🙏
Happiness lives inside not outside .
Dear Jayasara, this one had me in tears today. I love these Christian mystics meditations. The photos are fantastic with the text and music so well chosen. So peaceful and reassuring . So needed in this time of uncertainty . First the fires and now the virus... I hope you’ve settled back into your monastery and there’s some recovery in the bush? Just letting you know I wasn’t able to access the “community “ section of your channel with my iPad? Thanks again for these videos. Very much appreciated. Blessings 🙏🏻
Hi Nick, lovely to read your beautiful sharing in relation to these mystic's words. They are just lovely aren't they and the Christian mystics remind us of the importance of humility on this path. I love that emphasis they place on the practice. It can be missing a bit in some other traditions, or perhaps just not emphasised so much. We are doing fine at the monastery and in total isolation which is the same as it always is for us - so nothing's changed, except no visitors or guests. So even more quiet. The bush is recovering amazingly fast post bush fires and it's so amazing to see just how quickly nature can regenerate. The birds, wombats, wallabies, echidnas, and lyrebirds are all well established again doing their "stuff". These native animals certainly know how to survive, except for those billion that didn't of course! I hope you and your family are keeping well and safe in these interesting, turbulent times. With many blessings x
So utterly Beautiful.
Treasures in antiquity...
Blessings aught be sought, one connection all Creation. We are one, "ONE"
BE, stand firm in our being.
Ohm...
Thank you 🙏
Thank you! You seem to be That Which all you reading points to! None Other!
Grace of God,Mothet Universe, Mother Earth& Angels.
Love mister Eckhart
Much Thanks for this! Such beauty in form and formless both of senses and stillness. 💔

Im so tired to chasing things outside anymore. Seeking everything yet I realize it not eternal. I am lives in solitude and don’t know what to do.
You're definitely not alone brother
Yes, the more we grasp our connection to the language of "heaven" being settled within ourselves in silence the more natural impressions come to us in the silence gaps between our thoughts and eventually simultaneously during our thoughts and feelings.
💫
Thank you so much for this podcast: very beautiful and very challenging. (First time listener.)
Welcome and enjoy!
thank you very much!
Thanks for that!
❤🇦🇱 I am not a christian one without identity I am the church where the voice it is heard when it is heard not only done but told what did today you me did!
Soothing & comforting to hear the simple beauty of Truth when one awakens in the middle of the night feeling the pain of a sense of separation. Your recordings, Jayasara, obviously made with such devotion & love, bring so much joy & peace. Thank you so much, little Bodhisattva, 🥰
Hi Prema, lovely to know you are enjoying the recordings and that they are proving soothing during difficult times. Were you an anagarika in the days when Ayya Khema was at WBD or later? Nice to make this connection with the Thai Forest tradition.
Hullo again Jayasara,
I was one of three women ordained at the Wat in 1984 by Phra Khantipalo & (very reluctant!) Thai monks from Wat Buddharangsee in Newtown, Sydney. I knew Ayya Khema but like just about everyone else at the time she was not supportive of the nuns' ordination at the Wat. . . .I disrobed in 1988 after meeting my Tibetan Dzogchen Master Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche. Thereafter I encountered Hindu Advaitism & spent some months in India with Papaji who was a disciple of Ramana Maharshi. . . Living on the NSW north coast i've met some beautiful practitioner teacher/healers in many traditions, who have all been a part of my journey. . . Your UTube postings seem to bring all these seemingly diverse threads together in such a gentle yet profound manner, & the fact that you are a Theravadin nun is a kind of healing for me as my time at the Wat was turbulent & scarring for many years - although it was paradoxically beautiful in so many respects too. . . The Thai Forest tradition is so deeply inspiring. I was very fortunate to be able to spend a Rains Retreat at Wat Pa Ban Tard in Udorn Thani when Tun Acharn Maha Boowa was there & then a month or so near the Laotian border at Tun Acharn Tooey's Wat - all 'ancient' history now, as though from another life!
Amazing Prema! Well, you have certainly done the rounds and met some wonderful teachers. Great fortune for you! It's lovely to connect with a kindred spirit who is open to receiving the pearls from all traditions. I look forward to our ongoing connection via this virtual space. Stay well and safe in these turbulent times. ❤️
The key is Silence!
..how alone he was..among others.
