Disinterest (detachment) is one of Meister Eckhart's core teaching. He places the highest importance on it, in order to clear the soul to await the Holy Ghost. This treatise fleshes out his ideas on this state of being.

ECKHART IS THE BEST ON DISINTERESTEDNESS . THE EXAMPLE OF MARY AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS AND MAINTAINING HER INNER PEACE AS SHE SAYS YES TO THE FATHER'S WILL IS PURE DISINTERESTEDNESS MAY MARY OBTAIN FOR US THIS GRACE WHICH DRAWS GOD TO OUR SOULS

Thank you how profound. A disinterested heart wants nothing and has nothing to be rid of. Blessed are the pure in heart. Bless you.

Also translated as "detachment" which goes deeper than disinterest.

I like disinterest over detachment since things are always calling us to be " interested" detachment seems more grandiose to me harder to optain since we are the world

God's disinterest is towards the ego - God definitely has interest in the living creation otherwise it would not continually be manifested.

Exactly! God is selfless and loving. I was almost a little put off in the beginning when Eckhart said he put disinterest higher than love. I think the two are intertwined when understood properly.

I Think of detachment more so than disinterest. Would you agree that god has attachments to the living creatures? I do think that god is disinterested. Look at Isaiah 40:17. I think it’s a tough reality to face. We are alone in our pursuit to god. Meaning that only the individual soul can muster the strength and desire to face the reality and to maintain focus on god. In that sense god Is disinterested. It’s up to you. We have been given what we need, we just need to be aware of god everyday and in everyone and everything. In that sense god is disinterested because it’s up to you. If you want to go to hell then god will facilitate that with disinterest… also if you want to grow more with god we need to have disinterest in everything except for god. ( I’m still learning don’t think I think my understanding is objective true)

About the only thing I disagree with is Eckhart's depiction of animals. Animals were created "good" and even "very good". We are instructed to learn from them by God, Jesus and other prophets. So to compare someone to animals who is sinful could be argued to be insulting to God and animals. Not that God nor animals should care apparently...

YES, I DO LIKE IT. BUT LIKING IS POSSESSING. OUR AUTHOR SEEMS TO SAY WE MUST BE DISPOSSESSED. WHILE THEY DISCUSS , I AM SILENT AND GO BATHE AND ADMIRE MYSELF. LOGIC AND SERMONS NEVER CONVINCE. THE DAMP OF THE NIGHT DRIVES DEEPER INTO MY SOUL. (W.W) . THE READER DID A NICE JOB. CREDIT IT TO HIM. READING THIS SORT OF HOMELY IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN SAY READING CATCH 22. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING IN HEARING DONALD TRUMP READ ECKHART. NOW THERE'S A STUNNING JUXTAPOSITION. THOUGHTS OF A DRY BRAIN IN A DRY SEASON (TSE.) BE YOUR BEST: BE KIND TO MAN AND BIRD AND BEAST, ( STC, KINDA) AND EVEN DONALD TRUMP IF YOU HAVE SUCH SPLENDID MAGNANIMITY.
