JACOB BOEHME (1575-1624) "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.

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. Zijn werken werden naar het Latijn vertaald door Johannes Angelius Werdenhagen in 1632, naar het Frans door Jean Macle in 1640 en Louis Claude de Saint-Martin in 1800-1803. De vertalingen naar het Engels komen van John Ellistone en John Sparrow. Een Nederlandse vertaling werd gemaakt door Abraham Willem van Beyerland ( 1586 - 1648 ). In de 18° eeuw bestonden er volgelingen van Boehme in Nederland en Groot-Brittannië die echter versmolten met de Quakers. De Quakers, welke een spotnaam is voor de in 1647 opgerichte

Jacob Boehme (1575-1624 e.v.) by T. Apiryon Also spelled Boehm, Böhme, Böhm or Behmen. German Protestant mystic and philosophical theologian. Nietzsche , Hegel, Schelling, Emmanuel Swedenborg, William Blake , and George Fox, founder of the Quakers. Boehme's teachings were also influential in the development of high grade Freemasonry. In Boehme's cosmology, the first person of the Trinity, God the Father, is identified with primal, unmanifested reality, Der Ungrund, "the Abyss," nothingness which contains the potentiality of everything. The Abyss is characterized by a desire to reveal Himself, which He does through a process of divine introspection, or reflection. The second person of Boehme's trinity, the Son, is identified with the desire of the Abyss to reveal Himself; and the third person, the Holy Spirit, is identified with the process of divine reflection. This process of reflection involves the making of a divine mirror, as it were, which Boehme calls "Virgin Wisdom" or Sophia. This Virgin Wisdom can be viewed as a fourth person of the Godhead. The images seen by God of His own potentialities in the mirror of Virgin Wisdom led to God's desire to manifest the potentialities in reality to engage in the process of Creation. Boehme stressed the value of individual religious experience in his teachings. "As the many kinds of flowers grow in the earth near each other, and none contends with the other about color, smell, or taste, but they let the earth and the sun, rain and wind, heat and cold, do what they will with them, while they grow each according to its own nature, so it is with the children of God."

14. Great Theosophists--Jacob Boehme (24 Of 29) jacob boehme was born in the little village of Alt Seidenburg, near Goerlitz, in 1575. Although his Theosophical coworkers, Giordano Bruno and Robert Fludd http://www.blavatsky.net/magazine/theosophy/ww/setting/boehme.html

THEOSOPHY, Vol. 26, No. 9, July, 1938 (Pages 386-392; Size: 19K) (Number 24 of a 29-part series) GREAT THEOSOPHISTS J ACOB B OEHME JACOB BOEHME was born in the little village of Alt Seidenburg, near Goerlitz, in 1575. Although his Theosophical co-workers, Giordano Bruno and Robert Fludd, incarnated in families of wealth and distinction, Boehme was the son of poor German peasants. It would be useless to speculate about the complications of Karma which led him into a life filled with such apparent obstacles. The point to be observed is that he turned his difficulties into opportunities for growth, and, as Mr. Judge says, "There can be no manner of doubt about his succeeding incarnation. As Krishna says in the Bhagavad-Gita, he has been or will shortly be 'born into a family of wise devotees,' and thence 'he will attain the highest walk.'" It is quite evident that Jacob Boehme grasped the fundamental truths of the ancient Wisdom-Religion without being able to express them in a clear and lucid form. His Theosophical knowledge, however, did not come to him through books, for, although he learned to read and write, his education stopped at that point. This, however, did not keep the knowledge he had acquired in past lives from welling into his mind. Nor did it prevent the living Guardians of eternal Truth from aiding him and using him as their agent. H.P.B. calls him the "nursling of the Nirmanakayas This attitude, firmly and consistently maintained, brought about his first "illumination," and for seven days he was in a state of "ecstasy." During those days much of the knowledge he had gained in former lives returned to him. He realized that duty, well-performed, is the highest form of Yoga, and began to apply his knowledge in the humble tasks of his every day life, becoming, as a result, an excellent shoemaker. At the age of nineteen his apprenticeship ended, and he became a journeyman shoemaker. When he was twenty-one he married a simple peasant girl, and from their union four sons were born, each of whom followed his father's profession.

Jung and spirituality Author's page: Donivan Bessinger. Address correspondence to donibess@aol.com Introduction The end of the 20th century is witnessing a crisis of relevance of traditional church doctrine, and rapidly waning ecclesiastical influence. In western culture, spirituality has literally broken out of the churches, to seek expression in a wide variety of ways, especially through explorations of eastern and primal traditions, nature mysticism, and transcendental psychologies. Jacob Boehme was a 17th century shoemaker whose radical and mystical theology is consistent with modern knowledge of the relationship of the physical world to nonlocal reality, and of the dynamics of the psyche. His Renaissance emphasis on individual transformative spirituality is in tune with the renaissance of spirit of our times. It thus has much to offer to churches and other spiritual communities seeking to meet the spiritual needs of modern people.

Back to Home Page or Contents Page or People or Index Boehme, Jacob 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

Jakob Boehme 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

The Teaching about the Ungrund and Freedom "Im Wasser lebt der Fisch, die Pflanzen in der Erden, Der Vogel in der Luft, die Sonn im Firmament, Der Salamander muss mit Feur erhalten werden: Und Gottes Herz ist Jakob Boehmens Element". ["In water lives the fish, the plant in the ground, The bird in the sky, the sun in the firmament, The salamander must with fire be sustained, And God's Heart is Jacob Boehme's element".] Angelus Silesius I. Jacob Boehme has to be termed the greatest of Christian gnostics. The word gnosis I employ here not in the sense of the heresies of the first centuries of Christianity, Natur The gnosis of Boehme was experiential and from life, it arose from the torment over the fate of man and the world. Boehme had a child-like pure, good and compassionate soul. But his feeling for worldly life was austhere, not sentimental. His fundamental intuition of being was of an intuition of fire. In this he was akin to Herakleitos. He had an extraordinarily acute and strong sense of evil in the life of the world. And therefore he sees a struggle of opposing principles, a struggle of light and darkness. As regards his sensing of the power of evil and of the struggle of God with the devil, of light and darkness, he was nigh close to Reformation sources, to the experience of Luther.
