This birth of Christ that Eckhart speaks of is not a historical event that occurred in Bethlehem on a particular date, once for all - it is in the Eternal Now.8 God begets His Son in the soul continually and without interruption. It is possible for Christ to be born in any man's soul because human nature is one, and is therefore the same in Christ as in every man. Of course this birth of Christ does not in fact occur in every human soul, but the potentiality is there. It is only necessary to create the right conditions.
