>For the doctrinal masters of this tradition, the supreme principle of the metaphysical order is not the undetermined and the personal infinite, as it is for Guénon. The supreme principle is the Trinity.
He doesn't know...

With the growth of technology, modernity, etc, life has become significantly more complex, and real religiosity and spirituality feels as tough to reach as ever. How do we cope with this?

To add, this becomes especially clear when you read the works of the greatest Western sages and their beliefs map on perfectly to Eastern ones. This isn’t to say that Buddhism is necessarily superior, in fact, Buddhists are some of the most dogmatic people around. Zen in Japan is totally rotten. The Buddha pointed at the moon and instead of looking at the moon we worship the finger.

What happened to the Eckhart/Suso/Tauler line of Catholic mystical thought?

Iirc Tauler even went so far as to lead the lay Friends of God group who bought their own cloister on an island somewhere. Did it just die out because Tauler had no real successor, or did it keep going?

Now, whoever dwells in the goodness of his nature, dwells in God's love: but love is without Why. If I had a friend and loved him for benefits received and because of getting my own way, I should not be loving my friend, but myself. I ought to love my friend for his own goodness, for his virtues and for all that he is in himself. Only then would I love my friend aright, if I loved him as I have said. It is just the same with the man abiding in God's love, seeking not his own in God or in himself or in any thing, but loving God solely for His goodness and for the goodness of His nature, and for all that He is in Himself. That is genuine love.

Is he considered heretical by the church? What do I think about him?

Where do I start with Meister Eckhart?

All this time I was God, wasn't I?

Another obvious one.
