Well, Chuck, you Being a heretic and all, I Would of course expect such an answer coming from you. :-)



But, one could ask oneself:

What is Karma and what is visdom...

I rather like my comment on God when my wife had her stroke and was in a 

  coma for two weeks, thus causing one of her sisters to comment that "God has a 

  reason for this." My response was, "If your idiot God knew what he was doing 

  in the first place she would not be here!"

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. p



"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. d



"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?
