{"title":"Eckhart on Contemplation","authors":"O. Woods","doi":"10.1179/ECK_1997_6_1_002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1179/ECK_1997_6_1_002","url":null,"abstract":"Eckhart of Hochheim should be viewed, I believe, as a practical mystic, if not rather than, certainly more thana theoretical one. To categorize Eckhart as a speculative mystic diminishes or even dismisses him as a spiritual guide, except in the sense that the word \"theory\" reflects the Greek theoria, which is usually taken to mean contemplation. Yet it is as a spiritual guide that Eckhart has found his greatest following today, and, it seems evident, in his own day as well. 1 Eckhart was, of course, a profound thinker and, indeed, in the tradition of Albert the Great and Thomas Aquinas, a metaphysician as well as a saint. So it should not be surprising that there are at .least three levels of meaning in Eckhart's teaching-first, the practical or pastoral instruction, which is all too easily overlooked in our eagerness to delve into the deeper layers, the theological, second, and, third, the philosophical, which encompasses at least epistemological and ontological dimensions. Among these levels also run rich strata of psychology and linguistics. Today, I want to excavate from the top down, not only because I was asked to, but because I think it is important to understand Eckhart first of all·as a spiritual master rather than a theologian or philosopher. He was, after all, a preacher, a Dominican who~ like his master Dominic, willingly if not wholly subordinated his speculative and even contemplative interests to·the demands of ministry. And here he also follows Thomas Aquinas. , Insofar as Eckhart proposed a way of life that can be described as contemplative, what did he mean by that? Or, more to the point, how did he exhort us to be contemplative? Seeing God is, of course, what the ancient Greek term theoria, which we translate contemplation, means: it is based on the verb \"to see\" in the sense of looking at something or someone. Ultimately, our question must be couched in terms of what it meant for Eckhart to usee\" God.","PeriodicalId":277704,"journal":{"name":"Eckhart Review","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131774021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I discovered the Eckhart Society by chance-or was it Providence?-in the summer of 1991 through a small announcement in a bookshop opposite King's College, Cambridge, where I was attending a conference entitled: \"The Shadow of the Spirit: contemporary Western thought and its religious subtexts.\" Much to my amazement, it was Meister Eckhart, with Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite as a close runner-up, who dominated many of the conference papers, presented from a variety of perspectives; in my own literary oriented paper I suggested some striking similarities in thought and expression between medieval negative theology (Meister Eckhart) and contemporary literary theory, represented by the influential French philosopher, Jacques Derrida, the father of what has come to be called deconstruction. Summed up quickly these are: both are predicated on negation; both arise from linguistic scepticism (what Nietzsche called Sprachskepsis) and point up, in their own way, the inadequacy of language to predicate presence and ultimate reality, be it God's transcendence or the philosopher's stone. Both, finally, employ the metaphor of the desert to describe God's place (which is not and has, to use Derrida's term, no \"realm\" or khora), and the mystic's experience of God's presence (\"the desert of the Godhead\")~ the selfsame metaphor is used to describe the wilderness of human discourse, as is the case with Derrida, who speaks of the \"desertification\" of language, and·refers to writing as the word (without a capital) in ~e desert, and to the Bible as \"the desert-book, made of sand, of mad sand.\"· I had discovered Meister Eckhart some ten years before, again by chance-or was it Providence? -in the course of preparing a doctoral dissertation on a much neglected, fascinating, modem, allegorical and","PeriodicalId":277704,"journal":{"name":"Eckhart Review","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121800769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I dare to say this even though what really fascinates me is Eckhart's capacity to suggest what lies'beyond speech! Gratefully acknowledging the current scholarshippf those who are making the work of Eckhart more widely available, my task is simply to focus upon Eckhart as a spiritual guide. This I propose t9>do, not in any comprehensive sense. in an attempt to balance every.aspect of Eckhart's approach to the delicate art of spiritual guidance, but in a way that highlights aspects of Eckhart's charism that I personally find relevant for now. Throughout, I shall remain dazzled by the juxtaposition of apparently contradictory assertions in Eckhart's writings as they leave us with an awareness that truth must be personally experienced if it is to be grasped in any meaningful way. So if I might be al1<?w:ed to adopt the style of one of Eckhart's now famous rhetorical quotations, I would like to begin this talk by asking what does it matter that Eckhart was prepared to suffer the charge of heresy in order to make the Christ truth\"personally relevant to the lives of his hearers, if we are not able to apply that truth to the living of our own lives? Eckhart was a mystic, one from whom, according to the founder of the Eckhart Society, Ursula Fleming, God hid nothing. But he was a mystic who not only attempted to express his experience of God theologically, but who also groped with theology in the light of his experience. He was therefore a theologian in the tradition of the early Fathers of the Church, both East and West: one who lived and spoke from his experience of God. With Paul, he would say again and again, regardless of the consequences for himself,","PeriodicalId":277704,"journal":{"name":"Eckhart Review","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123558300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The factory boss had engaged in argument with Pastor Bergman as to whether there was a need for a priest at all in an industrial village like that The pastor tried to explain that he was there, in that industrial area, in order to help nourish the spiritual life of the workers. The factory boss, at a loss to understand anything, asked: \"And what is spiritual life?\" The pastor, without hesitation, gave him a very short definition: \"What is spiritual life? It is the life that has nothing to do with the body.\" Then silence fell between the two ... What is \"spiritual\" life? This is still our question today. We are faced with this same attitude Pastor Bergman's attitude by Meister Eckhart in his famous Sermon I (Pf 1, QT 57) on giving birth to God, which concentrates exclusively on the soul and the life of the soul and its contact with God. We are also considering an alternative viewpoint from the East, in Symoon the New Theologian, the 11th-century ascetic writer and saint, who, in Chapter 10 of his First Ethical Sermon, concentrates on the same question but deals with it in a quite different manner, focusing on the body the human body, and especially Christ's body, the human nature assumed by the Son of God. The perennial issue from the very beginning, ever since Christianity emerged in this world, was: is it at all possible for human beings to establish a permanent and real contact with ·God Himself? If the Christian claim about human destiny is true, then there should be a real contact with the Creator and human beings should be destined to bear and. accommodate God within themselves. In other words, they should be in a position to offer maternal service to Him, for the sake of their own salvation and all the more so for the fulfilment of His own Will. But is it at all possible to make real and permanent contact with God Himself?

Willcox","doi":"10.1179/eck_1998_7_1_001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1179/eck_1998_7_1_001","url":null,"abstract":"The 1998 London event on St Valentine's Day was even better attended than 1997. 115 people were present for the Sermons, brilliantly performed by James Roose-Evans, introduced by Fr John Onne Mills and with commentaries by Fr Richard Woods. About 80 people attended the more light-hearted concert by Opus Anglicanum in the eveni~g entitled 'The Merrie Tales of Master Skelton' which followed a reception for about 130 people in the cloister. Judging by the feedback there is no doubt that this is one of the best ways of introducing Meister Eckhart's work. In a large space audibility is of crucial importance and we were fortunate that the event succeeded admirably in this respect. The music, too, added impressively to the atmosphere created by the splendid 12th-century church founded by Rahere. This year an Essay Prize of £200 has been offered by the Society and will be offered again next year. All the academic institutes providing medieval studies in the UK were mailed and the Society's website was used to announce it with appropriate details for the international field. The Society is greatly indebted to Richard WOQds for his help in the field of comniunications. An Assistant Editor has been found in the person of Professor Niklaus Largier and we hope that this will enable us to offer an additional service to our members by providing information about new publications. Membership has continued to grow and in March stood at 273 compared to 232 at the same time last year, of whom 77 are abroad in no less than 18 countries. Twenty-five new members joined in January and February 1998, mainly we think as a result of publicity given to the London event. The number of people attending the Plater College Conference in 1997 at 60 was substantially lower than in 1996. However, the extraordinarily high attendance in 1996 (94) can partly be explained by the presence of Carol Horrigan speaking about Pain Control. She undoubtedly attracted people who were particularly int~~ested in that aspect of Ursula Fleming' swork. This year, the tenth anniversary of our foundation, we hope that there will be a full house to hear Bernard McGinn, Alois Haas and Joseph Milne, all of whom have spoken before, and Philip MacShane OP, vho has chosen the intriguing title 'What does Eckhart recommend we do?'. The Society is now in its tenth year and the Conference at Plater College Oxford at the end of August will be its eleventh. I hope you will be there and it remains for me once again to thank all our members for their support and especially the members of the Committee, whose enthusiasm has assisted so much in the expansion of the Society's work.
