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.

I give it three as it is important to the records we have on the mystical experience. Jacob was an angry, firey spirit, and should probably not have stared into that plate.

if anything, a testament to the true "insight" of properly channeled schizophrenia.

Где грань между мистицизмом и философией? Как личные личные переживания отделить от божественного проведения? Не стоит ждать ответа от Якоба! Только поэзия, добротная поэзия духа!

I must read if you want to understand the flowering of the Protestant movement in Europe.

Jacob Boehme, the Aurora, this was his first written work and the one that marveled everyone. Also was the first book of his that I read completely.
