Jakub Böhme Livres

Célèbre ouvrage de Jacob Boehme sur le symbolisme de la Genèse biblique. L'auteur explique de nombreux noms, lieux et thèmes trouvés dans la Genèse : Deux principes - l'amour de Dieu et la colère ; Ténèbres et Lumière ; l'Essence de Corporalité (la septième forme de la nature). Luna (Lune) et Saturnus ; la création des anges ; la Chute de Lucifer; Les travaux des six jours de la création ; Adam, Eve ; de l'impression et de l'original de l'homme bestial ; Caïn et Abel; l'accord; Énoch ; Noé et ses fils, etc. Il existe de nombreux thèmes communs avec la tradition théosophique néo-platonicienne d'Ammonius Saccas, Plotin, Porphyre, Jamblique et Proclus, ainsi qu'avec la tradition kabbalistique. Hiérarchies, émanation (génération) du Cosmos, règnes angéliques, trinités, signature, idéation, dualité, transformation se retrouvent chez Boehme, comme dans les autres traditions. Gardez à l'esprit que Jacob Boehme utilise un style d'écriture très voilé. Il devait le faire, afin de survivre dans le monde étroit d'esprit des chrétiens fondamentalistes, en guerre les uns contre les autres à cette époque. Il a certainement reconnu l'idée de la puissance du Christ dans l'être humain (d'ailleurs, le Nouveau Testament s'y réfère aussi), une transformation et une réalisation possibles pour ceux qui sont orientés vers le bon mode de vie.

The book presents a series of profound answers to challenging questions about the soul, inspired by a friend's quest for hidden wisdom. After traveling extensively and failing to find satisfactory insights, the friend discovers the author in a humble setting in Gorlitz. This encounter leads to a collection of complex inquiries gathered from various German universities, which the author addresses, providing clarity and understanding to both the friend and others seeking knowledge of Mysteries.

The Three Principles of the Divine Essence was Boehme's second book and the one he recommended as an introduction to all his writings. The three principles - the fire world, the light world and the outer world - proceed from the Father, Son and Spirit, and are manifest in all things. -- Amazon.com

The book That Boehme recommended as the introduction to his books. "The ABC of all my writings."

Jakob Boehme is such an intriguing figure that one cannot help but be enthralled. A 17th century Christian mystic, he was persecuted for his beliefs. Nevertheless, he was an important influence on later theologians, philosophers, and artists. The Way to Christ brings together several of his works, namely, Of True Repentance, Of Regeneration, Of True Resignation, and The Super Sensual Life. Boehme's works resist the typical mold. He is clearly a Christian mystic, yet his views seem to borrow many ideas from other mystical traditions as well, some of which are not theistic. But The Way to Christ still provides an insightful edification for the spiritual life. Although Boehme's prose is difficult, it is richly rewarding. Written in short sections, The Way to Christ can provide instructive direction for one's spirituality.
