Meister Eckhart Quotes About Angels

Quotes about: Angels

• The only thing that burns in hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life: your memories, your attachments.
  They burn them all away, but they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul.
  If you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away.
  If you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels freeing you from the earth.

  Meister Eckhart

  Letting Go, Memories, Angel

• That's all an angel is....an idea of God.

  Meister Eckhart

  Angel, Ideas, My Angel

  Meister Eckhart, Raymond Bernard Blakney (1941). “Celebrated 14th Century Mystic and Scholastic Meister Eckhart”

• The soul at its highest is found like God, but an angel gives a closer idea of Him. That is all an angel is: an idea of God.

  Meister Eckhart

  Angel, Ideas, Giving

• A question arises regarding the angels who dwell with us, serve us and protect us, whether their joys are equal to those of the angels in heaven, or whether they are diminished by the fact that they protect and serve us. No, they are certainly not; for the work of the angels is the will of God, and the will of God is the work of the angels; their service to us does not hinder their joy nor their working. If God told an angel to go to a tree and pluck caterpillars off it, the angel would be quite ready to do so, and it would be his happiness, if it were the will of God.

  Meister Eckhart

  Angel, Protect And Serve, Heaven

• When God sends his angel to the soul it becomes the one who knows for sure.

  Meister Eckhart

  Angel, Soul, Knows

  Meister Eckhart, Raymond Bernard Blakney (1941). “Celebrated 14th Century Mystic and Scholastic Meister Eckhart”

• The authorities teach that next to the first emanation, which is the Son coming out of the Father, the angels are most like God. And it may well be true, for the soul at its highest is formed like God, but an angel gives a closer idea of Him. That is all an angel is: an idea of God. For this reason the angel was sent to the soul, so that the soul might be re-formed by it, to be the divine idea by which it was first conceived.

  Meister Eckhart

  Father, Angel, Son
