Mystical Teachings
Eckhart's most famous teachings are his mystical writings, which emphasize the importance of direct experience of God and the unity of aLL things. He believed that the goal of human life was to attain union with God, which he called "the birth of the soul." To achieve this, Eckhart advocated for a radical detachment from worldly attachments and a focus on the inner life. He believed that the soul was a spark of divine light, and that its ultimate goal was to return to its divine source.
