The Merchants of My Temple

 

"Jesus went into the temple of God 
and drove out all those who bought 
and sold in the temple." 
Matthew 21:12

Meister Eckhart interprets 
Christ's expulsion of the merchants 
from the temple as a symbolic 
clearing out of all thought processes 
that distract from the soul:
 memory, 

understanding, 

will, 

perception, 

imagination, 

any object of our desires, 
and whatever it is in which you 

wish to find yourself.

This prompts me to ask: 
Who are the merchants in my temple?
And where am I still searching for myself?
