摘要

艾克哈的靈修進路蘊含一條擁有「溢出」與「回歸」的歷程，其中涵括六個時份：1．神的源頭、2．聖三、3．宇宙、4．人、5．子位、6．根基。神的源頭引申聖三的「流出」；聖三引申宇宙的「創造」；宇宙以人為造化的頂峰；人有其「靈的火花」，足以出引出「智的直覺」，讓人在「見道」中體證太一的眞相，並了悟「神的源頭」無異於「靈魂的根基」。成就「見道」的方法是「破執顯道」，消極地破除煩恼障與所知障，積極地讓神的眞相顯露；好能先後造就「聖子的孕育」與「突破至根基」的境界。

並列摘要

Meister Eckhart's spiritual journey consists in a process of emanation and return. It involves six different stages which are: the Godhead, the Trinity, the Cosmos, Man, the Sonship and the Source. The Trinity flows from the Godhead, from the Trinity, the emanation of the creation of the Universe, and Man is the summit of creation. Man has the ”Spark of the Soul” which gives him an ”Intellective Intuition” that allows him to have a ”Vision of the Truth”, experience the Truth of The One, and understand that the Godhead and ”the Ground of the Soul” are one. The way to the ”Vision of the Truth” involves ”Breaking the Subjective and Manifesting the Truth,” i. e. passively ridding oneself of anxiety and all knowledge and actively letting the Godhead reveal itself, thus creating the ”Birth of the Son” and a ”Return to the Source.”
