Meister Eckhart.

Thoughts please on what He meant. To me personally He's referring to Humans trying to describe God or attempting to make the incomprehensible comprehensible. .....

That will be very difficult for those who can only think literally.

God is good and he's love is with us, don't let fear or doubt over what will happen he nevers gives up he is love and fire and anger and light and shadow he is all but let God decide the way for he is omnisense over all material fields of the universe and everything moves for A purpose you will see evil will be destroyed.

You will see Good will win because he wants it that way but even if you don't know people will find challenges and see evil times do not lose faith and do not judge God pray and ask to be protected he loves ya.

VERY true.

Here is a commentary anyone can find online:
Eckhart is not keen on anyone trying to describe God because words are human, they diminish the divine
and quickly become ridiculous - like saying God is ‘good’.
To call someone ‘good’ is a compliment, in human terms; but it breaks down with the divine,
as all descriptions do, because ‘good’, for instance, is less than ‘wonderful’.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Is this part of a modified Harrower-Erickson Multiple Choice Rorschach Test?

I've never heard of Meister Eckhart. I will go read his wiki page. It's such an amazing time to be alive! All the information of this planet one click away!

What was before the Word? The Gospel of John states, in the beginning there was the Word, but what was before the Word? What is before a thought and what is after a thought?

You know the answer.
