Can You Share Historical Info About Meister Eckhart?

We’ve been listening about Meister Eckhart for days, but other than him being a 12th-century priest, I don’t think many people know much about him. Do you have historical information? Rupert says: ‘I’m not a historian. I’ve never been very interested in his life. I’m just interested in his mind and his heart. He was a Dominican monk. He was persecuted in his time because he said that you could have direct access to God’s being through your own being. And of course, that’s heresy because it cuts out the priesthood and the church. He died before he ever came to trial. But after his death, his teachings were condemned.’
