Sobre o não-saber ou a experiência da liberdade em Mestre Eckhart

Abstract

To talk about not-know is to go directly to the notion of ground of the soul, in Eckhart. This work consists in a report of the way of the soul to its ground, a way that conducts to beyond the image, beyond the Trinity; a way that itself is a return to the Godhead. It’s in this ground that happens the last union of the soul with God, and, simultaneously, the God’s birth. For Eckhart, all the meaning of this birth depends on it happens in each one of us: “Saint Agostinho ask: What is this generation worth for, if it’s not happening to me? Everything depends, then, if it happens to me.” (S57). According to the author, the knowledge about Got cannot be separated from the experience. Knowing God is also live him. It was the situation in which Marta was, or the not-know. Marta is simply being in time, according to the interiority. This way, Eckhart lives the similarity of two aspects; the Lesemeister, teacher, a bible reader; and the Lebemeister,the master of life, that knows God and also learns how to live. What means that in every Knowing – a knowing human yet – would be the beginning of a realization still more elevated that is understood like a divine not- know.
