Praying to God to Rid One of God

A woman asks about Meister Eckhart praying to God to rid him of God. Rupert explains that for a separate self, the highest state is complete surrender to God. Yet, from the understanding of oneness, even the idea of God must dissolve. He elaborates that belief in God subtly reinforces the idea of a separate self, and for there to be only the One, both the sense of a separate self and its counterpart – the idea of God – must dissolve together.
