The Signature of All Things

by Jakob Böhme, Wayne Kraus (Editor)

THIS Book is a true mystical Mirror of the highest Wisdom. The best Treasure that a Man can attain unto in this World is true Knowledge; even the Knowledge of himself: For Man is the great Mystery of God, the microcosm, or the complete Abridgment of the whole Universe: He is the Mirandum Dei opus, God's Masterpiece, a living Emblem and Hieroglyphic of Eternity and Time; and therefore to know whence he is, and what his temporal and eternal Being and Well-being are, must needs be that ONE necessary Thing, to which all our chief Study should aim, and in comparison of which all the Wealth of this World is but Dross, and a Loss to us.

Herein 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 Good: 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 Philosophers 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 every Thing, whereby it may be known; and this is the Language of Nature, which signifies for what everything is good and profitable: 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 (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".

"...he that will not seek thereby a new man born in God, and apply himself diligently thereto, let him not meddle with my writings," - Jakob Bohme

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

[Aleksandra Bekreneva · Rating 5 out of 5]

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!

Confusing and somehow enlightening.

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

Sheds light on Böhmes gnostic revelations.
