description: What is the kingdom of heaven and how may it be attained? In these sermons &amp; tracts Meister Eckhart elaborates at length upon the biblical teaching that the kingdom of God is within usnot outside but within. He points out that the exalted state of heaven's kingdom is not merely something to be realized after physical death but may be realized here and now as one allows God's presence to unfold in one's life. And this is the essence of Christian mysticism. He also gives us beautiful instructions on the proper handling of our own desires and their significance in our growth in the life of Christ. The following unique translations of Meister Eckhart's teachings are included in this volume: The Kingdom of Heaven is Nigh The Birth of Christ in the Soul The Poor in God
