Extractions: "But when this had given me many a hard blow, doubtless from the Spirit that had a desire for me, I finally fell into great sadness and melancholy, when I viewed the great depth of this world, the sun and the stars and the clouds, rain and snow, and contemplated in my mind the whole creation of this world...So then I found in all things good and evil, love and wrath, in creatures of reason as well as in wood, in stone, in earth, in the elements, in men and animals. Withal, I considered the little spark 'man' and what it might be esteemed to be by God in comparison with this great work of heaven and earth...In consequence I grew very melancholy, and what is written, though I knew it well, could not console me." Biography Boehme, the German mystic, was born in the East German town of Goerlitz in 1575. He had little in the way of an education and made his living as a shoemaker; he married and had four children. His thought drew on interests including Paracelsus, the Kabbala, alchemy and the Hermetic tradition. His first written work, Aurora , went unfinished, but drew to him a small circle of followers. Like Eckhart and others, Boehme's thought drew fire from the church authorities, who silenced Boehme for five years before he continued writing in secrecy. He again raised the cockles of church authorities, and he was banished from his home. He died soon thereafter, in 1624, after returning home from Dresden. His last words spoken, as he was surrounded by his family, were reported to be, "Now I go hence into Paradise." His thought has since influenced major figures in philosophy, especially German Romantics such as Hegel, Baader, and Schelling. Indirectly, his influence can be traced to the work of Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Hartmann, Bergson, and Heidegger. Paul Tillich and Martin Buber drew heavily from his work as did the psychologist, Carl Jung, who made numerous references to Boehme in his writings.

Extractions: JACOB BOEHME ( 1575 - 1624 ) ( Jacob Boehme ) Jacob Boehme werd geboren op 24/4/1575 in Altseidenberg in de nabijheid van Görlitz ( Duitsland nabij de Poolse grens ). Hij verbleef er gans zijn leven op uitzondering van een korte periode welke hij in Dresden doorbracht. De enige scholing die hij genoot was de stadsschool in Seidenberg. Vanaf zijn veertiende vestigde hij zich als schoenmaker. In 1599 huwde hij Katharina de dochter van Hans Kuntzschmann. In 1618 begon hij een tweede periode. Hij schreef zeer veel geschriften die van hand tot hand gingen maar niet werden gepubliceerd. Hij werd nogmaals van ketterij beschuldigt. Paracelsus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim Kaspar Schwenkfeld ( 1490 - 1561 ) en Valentin Weigel ( 1533 - 1588 ). Boehme liet zich vooral inspireren door de alchemistische literatuur.

Extractions: (image from the Christian Classics Ethereal Library The Protestant mystic Jacob Boehme was born in Altseidenberg, Silesia. He received only an elementary education but was an enthusiastic student of the Bible and the works of the alchemist Paracelsus From an early age he saw visions, and throughout his life he claimed to be divinely inspired. In his manuscript The Morning Redness Arising , written in 1612, he recorded his visions and expounded the attributes of God Of the Three Principles of the Nature of God , (1619) and The Way to Christ The Signature of all Things , and Mysterium Magnum As well as alchemical themes his writings contain Kabbalistic concepts. Boehme describes the absolute nature of God as the abyss, the nothing and the all, the primordial depths from which the creative will struggles forth to find manifestation and self-consciousness. The Father, who is groundless Will (c.f. Kabbalah - Keter the first principle is identified with Will), issues forth the Son, who is Love. Boehme held that everything exists and is intelligible only through its opposite. Thus, he believed, evil is a necessary element in goodness, for without evil the will would become inert and progress would be impossible. Evil is a result of the striving of single elements of Deity to become the whole; conflict ensues as man and nature strive to achieve God. God himself, according to Boehme, contains conflicting elements and antithetical principles within His nature. (c.f.

http://theosophy.org/tlodocs/teachers/JacobBoehme.htm

Extractions: Jacob Boehme (1575-1624), the Teutonic Philosopher, "Prince of all the medieval Seers," was born to a peasant family in the village of Alt Seidenberg, about two miles from Goerlitz in German Silesia. Although he received no formal education beyond learning to read and write, he was destined to discover the inner meaning of the Bible and the mystical heart of the spiritual life. When a young boy, he spent long hours alone watching his parents' cattle in their pasture near the village. Amidst this solitude he beheld his first vision. He saw a great vault filled with riches, which he took to mean that occult powers were his to possess. He vowed never to use them for selfish purposes. Of the vision he said, "I can only liken it to a resurrection from the dead." From this time he began to read the Bible and the writings of Paracelsus from an esoteric perspective. Although physically healthy, he was neither large nor robust, and in 1589 his parents apprenticed him to a shoemaker. Once, when tending the shop alone, a stranger entered and inquired about the price of some shoes. Boehme, aware of a remarkable look in the stranger's eyes, professed ignorance of the cost of the shoes, but the stranger, rather than searching out the shoemaker, told Boehme that though he was small of stature, he would become great among men and "cause much wonder in the world." Admonishing Boehme to remain faithful to his original vow, the stranger disappeared as mysteriously as he had come.

http://www.themystica.com/mystica/articles/b/boehme_jacob.html

Extractions: J acob Boehme was a German shoemaker who at the age of twenty-five experienced a mystical transformation that changed him into a mystic. The mysticism that he advocated was according to his Lutheran faith. He held that God abounded in the far reaches of the universe, but mystical visions could bring this divine presence nearer. Included in his Lutheran beliefs Boehme thought both good and evil emanated from God; they kept the cosmos in balance, but good tended to orientate it toward God. However, this cosmic balance can be interrupted by evil, or the evil factor that is focused upon too much at the expense of ignoring the light good factor. This interruption Boehme attributed to Lucifer. Lucifer, the greatest angel, combined both qualities in nature, but freely chose to unbalance the world when choosing darkness only. He seeks to twist the world that God has made and so enters into our "center," the ground of being our souls, where he uses all of his craft to bend us away from integration and harmony. But so long as the soul remains in "resigned humility just as a fountain depends upon its source, ceaselessly drawing and drinking water that flow forth from God" it will be safe and at peace. Being interested in astrology and cosmology Borhme equated God, the father, to the sky, and Jesus Christ to the sun. The light from the stars represented the Holy Spirit. To achieve union with God Borhme came to believe a person must go through a process of "spiritual rebirth," recognizing that the divine essence lies within oneself. Like the Kabbilists (see

Extractions: OF JACOB BOEHME Introduction to Boehme Jacob Boehme, "chosen servant of God," was born in Alt Seidenburg, Germany, in 1575. John Wesley, in his day, required all of his preachers to study the writings of Jacob Boehme; and the learned theologian, Willam Law, said of him: "Jacob Boehme was not a messenger of anything new in religion, but the mystery of all that was old and true in religion and nature, was opened up to him," — "the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God." Born of poor, but pious, Lutheran parents, from childhood, Jacob Boehme was concerned about "the salvation of his soul." Although daily occupied, first as a shepherd, and afteward as a shoemaker, he was always an earnest student of the Holy Scriptures; but he could not understand "the ways of God," and he became "perplexed, even to melancholy, — pressed out of measure." He said:"I knew the Bible from beginning to end, but could find no consolation in Holy Writ; and my spirit, as if moving in a great storm, arose in God, carrying with it my whole heart, mind and will and wrestled with the love and mercy of God, that his blessing might descend upon me, that my mind might be illumined with his Holy Spirit, that I might understand his will and get rid of my sorrow . . .

Weigel is anxious to come to a clear idea of his relationship to the teachings of the Church. This leads him to investigate the foundations of all cognition. Man can only decide whether he can know something through a creed if he understands how Immanuel Kant Die Philosophie der Freiheit Philosophy of Spiritual Activity himself . The counterpart alone awakens the perception in the spirit. Man ascends to higher cognition when the spirit becomes its own object. In considering sensory perception, one can see that no cognition can flow into man from the outside. Therefore the higher cognition cannot come from the outside, but can only be awakened within man. Hence there can be no external revelation, but only an inner awakening. And as the external counterpart waits until man confronts it, in whom it can express its nature, so must man wait, when he wants to be his own counterpart, until the cognition of his nature is awakened in him. While in the sensory perception man must be active in order to present the counterpart with its nature, in the higher cognition he must remain passive, because now he one salt that Boehme conceives this acerbity. With such designations he leans upon Paracelsus, who has borrowed the names for the process of nature from the chemical processes (

Extractions: Jakob Boehme (1575-1624) was a German religious mystic from the town of Goerlitz (Zgorzelec in Polish) in Silesia, on the Polish side of the Oder river just across from eastern Germany. A cobbler by profession, he was an autodidact much influenced by Paracelsus, the Kabbala, astrology, alchemy, and the Hermetic tradition (Peuckert, 1924 101; Merkel 302-310; Hvolbel 6-17). He experienced a seminal religious epiphany in 1600, when a ray of sunlight reflected in a pewter dish catapulted him into an ecstatic vision of the Godhead as penetrating all existence, including even the Abyss of Non-being. This and other mystical experiences caused Boehme to write a series of obscure but powerful religious treatises. According to him, negativity, finitude, and suffering are essential aspects of the Deity, for it is only through the participatory activity of his creatures that God achieves full self-consciousness of his own nature. Boehme's first treatise, entitled Aurora , or Die Morgenroete im Aufgang (1612), expressed his insights in an abstruse, oracular style. This work aroused profound interest among a small circle of followers, but it also provoked the heated opposition of the authorities. After being prosecuted by the local pastor of Goerlitz, Boehme had to promise on pain of imprisonment to cease writing. This judgment he obeyed for five years, until, unable to restrain himself any longer, he began writing again in secret for private circulation among friends. The publication of his

Extractions: Jacob Boehme Bibliography Edition: 20 February 2003 Bibliographies of Boehme abound, but they are often selective and dated. This work is an attempt to fill the gap by providing a more comprehensive Boehme bibliography. I include here both work on Boehme and his teaching, as well as work on his influence, both on individuals and on groups, and on specific works. There are works included, therefore, in which his name may not be mentioned at all, but in which there is good reason to believe that his influence is strong (for instance, in Schelling's or Berdyaev's The Destiny of Man There is one major omission in this bibliography. I have not recounted all the different editions of Boehme's own work, in the various languages to which they have been translated. This information is available in Werner Buddecke's and . Less comprehensive but still useful lists can be found in major libraries, like the British Library or National Union Catalogue at the Library of Congress. I have included a few important editions of Boehme's work in German and English, but that section is by no means exhaustive. Buddecke's work on the various editions comprises over six hundred pages between two volumes, and is more or less complete until 1957. There is no need to redo his work. The distinction between editions of Boehme's work, and secondary sources is sometimes not very clear, especially in the case of early works on Boehme. Quite a number of these seem to be discussions of Boehme, when in reality they are only compilations of his work, or segments pulled from a variety of his writings. It is therefore difficult to draw a clear line between the explication and extract, and several of the works of the seventeenth and eighteenth century fall somewhere between these two.
