Pondering a Troubling Meister Eckhart Statement

There’s one sentence from Meister Eckhart that always snags me: ‘If God should ever let go of my hand, I would petition him with all my might.’ This seems to imply separation could return. Rupert says: ‘When Meister Eckhart speaks like that, he’s speaking at a more relative level than we have been speaking here. He was probably talking to someone who didn’t understand what he meant when he said all there is to my being is God’s infinite being. Let that sentence go. It’s not for you. Meister Eckhart was not speaking to an enlightened audience like this. He was talking to people who had a very conventional notion of God.’
