Meister Eckhart on "God" 

Here are some of my favorite quotes from
Meister Eckhart (c.1260?c.1328, German mystic):

"God is exempt from all things and he is
all things."

"He who thinks that he sees God, if he
see aught sees naught of God."

"I do not find God outside myself nor
conceive him excepting as my own and in me."

"If I were not, God would not be God."

"All creatures are pure nothingness. I
do not say they are small or
petty: they are pure nothingness."

"The being [of things] is God."

"The being and the nature of God are
mine. . . . the spark in the soul is beyond
time and space; the soul's
light is uncreated and cannot be created, it
takes possession of God with no mediation; the
core of the soul and the core of God are one."

"Why I pray God to rid me of God is because
conditionless being is above God and above
distinction."

"God works, the Godhead does no work."

Do the IDEAS given in these quotes by Eckhart 
relate to what is written about "God" in THE
SECRET DOCTRINE and THE MAHATMA LETTERS?

If so,how?
