Jakob Böhme

Jakob Böhme
Jakob Böhme (/ˈbeɪmə, ˈboʊ-/;[1] 1575 – November 17, 1624) was a German Christian mystic and theologian. He is considered an original thinker within the Lutheran tradition, and his first book, commonly known as Aurora, caused a great scandal. In contemporary English, his name may be spelled Jacob Boehme; in seventeenth-century England it was also spelled Behmen, approximating the contemporary English pronunciation of the German Böhme. Biography[edit] Jakob Böhme (anonymous portrait) Böhme was born in March 8, 1575, at Alt Seidenberg (now Stary Zawidów, Poland), a village near Görlitz in Upper Lusatia, a territory of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1610 Böhme experienced another inner vision in which he further understood the unity of the cosmos and that he had received a special vocation from God. The shop in Görlitz, which was sold in 1613, had allowed Böhme to buy a house in 1610 and to finish paying for it in 1618. Aurora and writings[edit] Theology[edit] 1. 1.

Chapter 10 « the LIVING BOOK of LIFE A few words from an old Wiseman inspired from some cosmic space, from which this all seemingly takes place. We seem to find ourselves falling down into Poverty in this our modern state of grace. On the other hand, is this just a state of mind, taught to our children throughout all time? Yet in the end we cannot be broken, it is simply up to Society. Do you see? As nature has a way of breaking. Turn to me with open arms. “The lonely calling of a Shamans life” Upon this Earth, there dwells a man, That heals the soul as no one can. His method work, and many find, new strength of heart and peace of mind. He feels great joy, though tastes no kiss, no children to dance around his feet, no tender maid his flesh to meet, Just to heal everything, within his sight, in fair exchange for smiles they give each night. The folks who wander here and there, feeling lost in great despair; he himself does reach inside, removing splinters and calming our tides, Tony Gray’Owl an American Cherokee Shaman What! You!

Johannes Kepler Johannes Kepler (German: [ˈkʰɛplɐ]; December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630) was a German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer. A key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution, he is best known for his laws of planetary motion, based on his works Astronomia nova, Harmonices Mundi, and Epitome of Copernican Astronomy. These works also provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation. During his career, Kepler was a mathematics teacher at a seminary school in Graz, Austria, where he became an associate of Prince Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg. Later he became an assistant to astronomer Tycho Brahe, and eventually the imperial mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II and his two successors Matthias and Ferdinand II.

The Basis of Morality - Arthur Schopenhauer Jacob Boehme Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography COPYRIGHT 2008 Charles Scribner's Sons (b. Alt Seidenberg, near Görlitz, Germany, 1575; d. Görlitz, 17 November 1624) theology, mysticism. Boehme was the fourth child of Jacob and Ursula Boehme. In 1600 occurred the decisive event in Boehme’s life. Devout and humble, Boehme did not write until 1618, when the spirit again urged him so strongly that he could no longer remain silent. In all his works Boehme spoke as a prophet; he believed that God had chosen him to reveal to mankind what lay hidden. Boehme’s philosophy cannot be reduced to brief, systematic statement; it was not conceived in terms that would permit such reduction, and his own conceptions shifted in the course of time—the Aurora, he later said, was a work of his spiritual childhood. Placed in time and body after Fall, man’s path to regeneration is renewed revelation of the secrets of nature. I. II. Hans Aarsleff
