SEEING THE WORLD & GOD THROUGH GOD'S EYES

(WITH REFERENCE TO MEISTER ECKHART)

 “The eye with which I see God is exactly the same eye withwhich God sees me. My eye and God's eye are one eye, oneseeing, one knowledge and one love.” - MEISTER ECKHART

“  For now we see throgh a glass, darkly! "t then #ace to #ace$ now I know in %art! "t then shall I know even as also I am known.” - 1 COR. 13:12
