In celebration of Christmas, Rupert reads a few passages from the book ‘The Complete Mystical Works of Meister Eckhart’. Eckhart’s beautiful words sum up the entire Christmas message. He suggests that the ‘eternal birth’ represents the birth of God’s presence in us in time.
The presence of God’s being already shines in each of us as the knowledge ‘I am’ but it is obscured by the content of experience and seems, as a result, to be missing. It is for this reason that God’s divine being seems to need to be reborn in us — because we have overlooked its presence in, and as, our very self.
