Should we worry if we are not thinking about God all the time? Seven hundred years ago, a Christian from the Rhineland, called Meister Eckhart, wrote: “To turn to God…does not mean to keep thinking about God. That would be impossible…and in addition, it would not be the best thing. Human beings cannot be satisfied with a God that is the object of thought. For then, when the thought vanished, God would vanish, too…. God is beyond all human thoughts. And the reality of God never disappears.” (10)
