Meister Eckhart, on the good in the soul

The man in the soul is the good tree that continually brings forth good fruits, of which our Lord speaks (Matt. 7:17). He is also the field in which God has sown His own image and likeness and in which He now sows the good seed (Matt. 13:24), the root of all wisdom, all arts, all virtues, all goodness, the seed of the divine nature. The seed of divine nature is God's Son, God's Word (Mark 4:3, Luke 8:11).

 Excerpt taken from the complete mystical works, page 558.

The soul has a secret entrance to the divine nature, when all things become nothing for it.

—ibid, p. 573

There is a light in the soul where time and place have never entered. Whatever has ever touched time and place never came into this light. In this light a man should stand.

—ibid, p. 576
