De La Signature Des Choses Ou De L'Engendrement Et De La DéFinition De Tous Les êtres Jacob Boehme 1908

Rate this book
The author sets forth fundamentally the birth, sympathy, and antipathy of all beings; how all beings originally arise out of one eternal mystery, and how that same mystery begets itself in itself from eternity to eternity; and likewise how all things, which take their original out of this eternal mystery, may be changed into evil, and again out of evil into good; with a clear and manifest demonstration how man has turned himself out of the good into the evil, and how his transmutation is again out of the evil into the Moreover, herein is declared the outward cure of the body; how the outward life may be freed from sickness by its likeness or assimulate, and be again introduced into its first essence; where also, by way of parable and similitude, the Philosopher's Stone is with great life described for the temporal cure; and along with it the holy Corner Stone, Christ alone, for the everlasting cure, regeneration, and perfect restitution of all the true, faithful, eternal souls. In a word, his intent is to let you know the inward power and property by the outward sign; for nature has given marks and notes to everything, whereby it may be known; and this is the Language of Nature, which signifies for what everything is good and And herein lies the mystery, or central science of the high philosophical work in the true spagiric art, which consummates the cure, not only for the body, but for the soul.

About the author

Jakob Böhme

454 books158 followers
Jakob Böhme (probably April 24, 1575[1] – 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.

A lot of it was very unorganized and kind of random at parts, but the very beginning is truely amazing: it's evident that Schelling and Hegel were both influenced by his work and even though he's mostly seen as a Rosicrucian, his Wisdom transcends sects.

All of Reality is a dialectical transmutation of God's Consciousness towards Himself. And this Sacred Truth is the sum of his legacy.

Anything reference of Jacob Boehme is fascination and appetite wetting , this is one very well presented overview on an Enlightened Being that is, only now, able to be appreciated without the interferences of "intellectualism".

A challenge to read at times, sometimes difficult to digest and profound at the same time. A completely different religious text.

Несколько месяцев, живя в Германии, я читала средневековый трактат немецкого чародея, Якоба Бёме, «Сигнатуру» — «DE SIGNATURA RERUM, или О рождении и обозначении всех сущностей».

Припала к истоку немецкой классической философии.

Знаете, мне не помешала бы помощь Дина Корсо из «Девятых врат», потому что, прочитав текст, я вынуждена признать, что он не по мои мозги. Я глубоко в теме астрологии, поэтому всё, что касается архетипического символизма планет в этом трактате, мне было кристально ясно и понятно, и я многое для себя почерпнула.

Также, отдельное удовольствие мне доставили многочисленные немецкие слова и фразочки, рассыпанные по трактату, и я с удовольствием их все для себя выписала.

Но этот средневековый шифр об устройстве Бытия взломать у меня не получилось. Да, местами поэтично, местами красиво, но совершенно непонятно.

Нужно быть средневековым чародеем или алхимиком, чтобы досконально понять суть.

Однако, ощущение, что я прикоснулась к истории, смахнула вековую пыль с чего-то удивительного и невероятного — дорогого стоит.

Если есть среди вас ребята смелые и умные, читайте! Может быть, у вас получится разгадать тайну того, как устроен этот мир!

It was a little difficult to follow the line of thinking, but there were definitely some nuggets of wisdom throughout.
