Jakob Böhme, a Silesian cobbler, mystic, and theosophist who lived from 1575 to 1624, is considered the first German philosopher to grapple with the major themes of classical philosophy and to formulate their foundations in the German language for the first time.
Unfortunately, his language is steeped in biblical and alchemical terminology and is difficult for us to understand today.
However, those who do not shy away from the effort and mental exertion required to engage with his writings will be intuitively rewarded with insights that are inexhaustible and inspiring.
Quote from Jakob Böhme:
“The outer world is also God’s and is also God; and man is therefore created for the purpose of introducing the outer form into the inner, bringing the end into the beginning.”
