Guided Tour by Dr. Lucinda Martin, one of the curators of our 'EYE FOR THE WORLD. The Visionary Thinker Jacob Böhme' exhibition which was on show at the Embassy of the Free Mind from 14 December 2019 to 1 August 2020.
In this video Lucinda talks about the concepts and ideas of Jacob Böhme (1575-1624), mystical philosopher and one of the greatest German thinkers. Böhme had quite a few novel ideas for his time, on such topics as Nature, Opposition, Fall, Creation, Rebirth and Freedom, but also on the feminine and on the concept of 'Sophia' - Lady Wisdom. Lucinda will discuss these topics based on the exhibited books and manuscripts from the Embassy of the Free Mind’s Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica Collection as well from other collections.
Jacob Böhme made an impact internationally on literature, philosophy, religion and art that endures into the present. Böhme was a self-taught man who absorbed knowledge from books and from the lively intellectual environment in Görlitz in present-day Saxony, where he lived most of his life.

One of the great frustrations of my life is that a new 20th century, high quality reprint of Law's English Edition, of Boehme's Works, was not produced. Second to that is the fact that Freher's Complete Works have still never been published. What a terrible shame that is, in both cases.

An 8th principle of Boehme to consider might be his ideas concerning the Schrack, the Salnitric Fire-Crack or solar Flagrat, generated via friction and inner crisis, the Magic Fire-Flash rising at the heart-centre and enabling breakthrough from the Dark Wrath-world in transfiguration into the heavenly Light-World : the rising Morning-Redness that Blake calls 'Eternity's Sunrise'. It's a highly dynamic and alchemical concept of spiritual regeneration and the secret processes of the interior life.

Thank you very much. A most interesting exhibition that I'd love to see. Just a small correction: at the end of the XVI c. Goerlitz was NOT on the German-Polish border. I think the town was a part of Bohemia then (later became a part of Saxony). Nowadays it indeed lies on the German-Polish border, with Boehme's house located in the Polish part and his grave situated in the German part, just across the river. There is a little exhibition (almost like a small museum) in the house, with a very nice view of the river.

Wonderful! Thank you for this wonderful explanation!

This exhibition looks great. I can remember first encountering those incredible folding plates in Law's edition of Boehme - amazing works of esoteric art as are those Gichtel engravings. Likewise Freher's illustrations of 'the deep principles' of Boehme's doctrines, great meditational symbols of Theosophia. That gorgeous manuscript of the Secret Symbols of the Rosicrucians is very striking - an arcane diagram in that treatise really opened up my understanding (Verstand) of Boehme's concept of the 7 Principles of Eternal Nature.

Mission of Böhme

@jjbentley9 2 года назад

Think alit of people have come to realize. there are two sides of man's nature. That of a spiritual side that of a animalistic side. that focused on material thing's or desires. Sex money drugs gambling etc. Violence killing. That's what the two triangles in the hexagram represents. One triangle point up for the spiritual side needing to be higher than the lower triangle points down the animalistic side.

Reminds me of the dialectics. The contradiction is what moves history forward.

Where does it say "I wisdom was with the father from the beginning" in eclesiastes?

@MrHwaynefair 3 года назад

It doesn't (as she says) in Ecclesiastes - the closest thing is Proverbs 8:23 ff. And this has been associated (from the earliest days of the Christian faith) with Christ - called by Paul, "The Wisdom of God", 1 Cor.1:24, in whom are hidden all the treasure of wisdom, Col. 2:3

@bropeterdimond 3 года назад

@@MrHwaynefair So it looks like she is full of it then. Not surprised.

@MrHwaynefair 3 года назад

@@bropeterdimond well- I wouldn’t necessarily throw out everything she (or Boehme) says because of one misattribution... I’ve recently become interested in Boehme because he played a part in C.S. Lewis’ conversion from atheism to Christian faith... But the ancient aphorism stands, “Test all things, hold fast to the good...”

@NigelJackson 3 года назад

I think she might be referring to Ecclesiasticus, an OT apocryphal text?

@MrHwaynefair 3 года назад

@@NigelJackson Yes- you may be right- Ecclesiasticus 1 sounds very similar... I apologize for my deficits with the apocryphal writings (I was raised Baptist, so that’s my excuse 🤗 - but then maybe not a good one seeing that one of the best among Baptist forebears was John Bunyan who first experienced deep conviction by recalling a passage from the apocrypha concerning sabbath breaking...) Thanks for your correction!

@@C.R.C. The Holy Spirit did not exist until the Separation. It was sent in the same moment the Fall occurred. Before then, the Father and Son were one; no need for a principle of reconciling to exist. See ACIM, which Jesus (the manifestation of the Holy Spirit) wrote for us in this, our own era.
