The God without a name

The God who is without a name is inexpressible, and the soul in its ground is equally inexpressible, as he is inexpressible.

Master Eckhart

A trip to Babylon

I took the bus to Babylon last night
wearing my cloak of greed.
Played the Whore of Anger for a while;
turned ugly in my own eyes.
It wasn’t nearly as much fun as they’d told me;
and the prices my dear.

Your ugliest face

The way your ugliest face
crowds out the others
to win friends
and influence people

The hidden God

- God is without name, for no one can say or understand anything of him… Hence if I say: ‘God is good’, this is not true. I am good, but God is not good… If I say further: ‘God is wise’, this is not true, I am wiser than he. If I say also: ‘God is a being’, this is not true; he is a being above being and a superessential negation. A master says: If I had a God whom I could know, I would not think him to be God…

- God becomes God when the creatures say: ‘God’.
