Still true today

Meister Eckhart (1260-1329) was a Dominican priest and theologian who exerts a hold on many contemporary spiritual writers. Long ago, he made the startling declaration that God and human beings are already bonded together, already in intimate contact. The only obstacle is our consciousness and the dreadful construction of dualism that puts a wall between the human and the divine. Helping others is a path to understanding that wall is easily jumped, and politics is often used as a way to build higher walls. What was true in Truman’s day is still true today.
