>That would be enough
enough for what? Viewing prayer in this way reveals it as an exchange, where, instead of "thank you" being a way of resolving something, it is a way of beginning something.
The question then, is, what does the christian want to begin?
This quote reveals "thank you" as a strategy taken to preserve exchange: it exposes it as the reliance on something outside yourself, the wish to be given something from someone else. It reveals christianity as a fundamental poverty.
Prayer reveals the greatest poverty and self-contempt.

How about actually reading Eckhart before giving your shit opinion. None of what you've written applies in the slightest.
Start with the Reden der Unterweisung (Counsels on Discernment/Discourses on Instruction/Talks of Instruction).
