This article is a delicacy for every reader being interested in mystics. Dr. Gerald Wicklein presents in his article the essential contents of the medieval mystical
doctrine as presented by the great medieval mystic Meister Eckhart. The nature of god, of man, their interrelation and their relation to universe, as well as an overview over the history of mystics in India, Islam,
Europe are highlighted here in a very differentiated way. The author achieves to move very easily between the essential and general thoughts of mystics, revealing analogous developments in different cultures and
providing the reader that way easily with an overview over the universal, mystical movement of medieval times.
In our tradition we lately rather tend to search for spiritual truth in far-away-countries. That way, the wonders and secrets of our own culture in a
way get lost. In this article the mystical heritage of Meister Eckhart is revived again. It is exciting, to explore the mystics of this brilliant man and to rediscover our own roots and rich tradition. The journey
into the secrets of mystics will become a journey to your inner self.
