>I didn't know Eckhart argued for a theology of salvation reminiscient of Nirvana.
Sorry, I tend to use terms interchangeably. It's important to qualify there's a God in Meister Eckhart's worldview. He's not close to Nirvana so much as the advaitin Moksha.

>If the process of attaining Nirvana can be reduced to "I don't think, therefore I am not", I don't see how this extends to Moksha as well, since it is specifically not likened to nonexistence.
This is a problem in part resolved by Jung. I couldn't elaborate on it here, but I'll give you some leads. Buddhist non-being concerns itself only with the cognizing ego in a sense, ie. the mind. To bridge this to hinduism, consider these quotes from the Ashtavakra Gita, which elaborates lucidly on the nondualism of the hindus:
>For me, free from individuality, there is no doer and no reaper of the consequences, no cessation of action, no arising of thought, no immediate object, and no idea of results.
>There is no being or non-being, no unity or dualism. What more is there to say? There is nothing outside of me.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

>I don't fully grasp the implications but I can definitely see the hints of solipsism here.
Right, good. That's the essence of it, in my estimation. Jung has a great lecture series on yoga you can read if you want my understanding of eastern thought in the general sense.
