God Knows Nothing But Is What Mind Calls Everything

In Vedanta and Meister Eckhart’s teachings, it’s said that the ground of being, or Brahman, does not know the Creator, as if God is unaware of the manifest world. This seems like a limitation. How do we understand this? Rupert says: ‘God’s infinite being doesn’t know the self, or the soul, or the world, or the creator God directly. All it knows directly is its own being. It only knows, or seems to know, the world through the thinking and perceiving faculties of the separate self. God cannot both be the world and know the world. It’s gotta be one or the other. God knows nothing but is what the mind calls everything.’
