Thoughts About the Melancholy of the Saturnal EYE of Master Flowery Jakob Böhme
Víctor. A. Cabello. Reyes CR +
'' This Process was very severe and painful to the Nature of the Body, for it made it faint and weak, as if it had been very sick: and yet it was no natural Sickness that it had, but only the Melancholy of its earthly Nature which was feeling and lamenting the Destruction of its evil Lusts '' (Jacob Böhme, Alle Theosophische Schrifften, Amsterdam, 1682)
Jacob Böhme (november, 17-1575-1624), Near Goerlitz, in Silecia-present-day Poland-Lusatia-part of Saxony Germany or Seindenberg Zawidom.
Known the Master and 'Philosopher Teutonicus', under the name of '' The Prophet of the Dawn ''.
Jacob Böhme's spiritual development is based on the Vision and an internal and personal struggle of the inner man in the dual depth of the soul.
The Source of All produces in the Pure and pious Heart the Total surrender to the Lumen naturae and Divine Light of the Center of All-Nature.
Through The Divine Vision one proceeds from the glorious and effulgent simplicity of the mystical experience in the "Book of Nature" and resorts to the "shine of the sun on a pewter plate."
(Jakob Böhme, Morgenrote = '' The Red Sky of the Morning '' - 1634)
It is about the realization of a Christic model in relation to the Inner Man as an example of life in Christ and his Mysterious epistemological relationship.
The essential idea is the divine figure and its archetypal Seal or Signature of All Things in the Mysterium Magnum.
Internal reality is the way to individuality as an allegory of the Christ.
'' Alterius non sit, qui suus esse potest '' = '' Do not follow another, if you can be yourself ''.
(Paracelsus)
'' Boehme's example showed that Christianity could be more the ethics and the Scriptures (though he was quite expert in these); more than rites, aestheticism, and sacrament. It could be an inner reality more real than anything in the world and more precious than anything the world could teach ''
(Joscelyn Godwin, The Golden Threath, p.114).
This means that through spiritual vision Böhme achieves, adequately respond to his individuality and union with his antagonistic and light Divine Nature.
His own Being Divine Ens or Essence, is an arduous journey and internal event almost eternal and constant, of melancholic and alchemical-Saturnal energy struggle= (Ars transmutattionis metallicae). ''
There is an eternal Contrariety between Darkness and Light, neither of them comprehends the other, and neither of them is the other; and yet there is only on Essence, Being, or Substance, where the both subsist''
(Jacob Böhme The Suprasensual Life, 1682, Chapter 3: 7, p.55)
For the Flowery Master Jacob Böhme, the Saturnal is the contradictory and hidden and the only possible way to access the totality of the Being.
But; If entering the "Saturn sphere" and achieving "seeing" the "dirty garment of the Soul" or the Dark Night of the Soul is an impossible task.
The body of Man is an astrological and alchemical "Botanical Garden" and Jakob Böhme, who as a microcosm could possibly "get irritated" since we possess the astrological and planetary quality of internal irritation.
'' Just as the skull of man encompasses and limits the brain (...), the Saturnal Energy encloses, contains and consumes all material and tangible. ''
(Jakob Böhme, Aurora)
Alchemy is a model on an agricultural scale -Celeste astrology as Opera spiritualia.
'' Astrum in corpore ''
(Paracelsus).
For Master Morienus, "The mine of the thing with which the Magisterium is carried out is Man"
( Dialogue with Hermit Morien: Library of Philosophers Chim.)
The spleen is saturnal and the left eye.
There is a certain degree of crippling Hostility and even of sinister characteristics associated with Saturn and according to the alchemical-metallurgical symbolism in the dark and chaotic consciousness, such as the LEAD-Saturnal Regime that merges inward; producing in flashes the Novum Lumen Chymicum.
'' By the exterior the interior is known ''
'' The Outer Sun Claims for the Inner Sun ''
(De Signatura Rerum)
Saturn is the Gross state of matter and lead-saturnal of Opus Magnum = Alchemy.
The darkness is similar to a Wall in which it is necessary to be able to make a Hole so that the Kingdom of Light can enter.
For the Florid Master Agrippa of Nettesheim (1486-1535), Saturn was:
"A Great Lord, Wise and Cautious, author of the Inner Contemplation" and "defender and revealer of Mysteries".
(De Occulta Philosophia, 1510)
For Böhme, Saturn carries within himself the seed of the Fruit of GOLD and is the Creator of this child who is Mercury.
(Jakob Böhme, De Call Number RERUM)
And, according to Böhme, it is Saturn, '' The Cold Ruler. hard and Severe '' and suffers,'' The Wheel of Anguish ''.
BYSS and ABYSS-NOTHING and ALL-TIME and ETERNITY
(Jakob Böhme)
It is worth mentioning the UNGRUND = Reality before God MYSTERIUM magnum. Nothing and Everything.
Nothing to say.
Beyond Comprehension and Verbal expression is insufficient.
Beyond-Dark Luminis Naturae Bonum Finitum- Cum Deus sit quedam Lux per totum mundum diffusa = God who like Light Penetrates Anywhere.
Through SOPHIA, the God of Transcendent Theosophy and Divinity is Known, who in His very Transcendence is NOT the BEING.
The Self is the glorious culmination of Eternal Nature to Make Itself Manifest. God is God Revealed and Incarnate to Make Himself Manifest.
God is All and The Infinite itself is NOTHING.
It is not a Fullness, since in order to Realize Itself in Fullness, the Deity is an Unknown God who becomes Revealed.
'' Being of All Beings is -Essence of All Essences ''
Already then, Unity becomes LOVE-FIRE.
'' ... sharpened fiery Burning Love of the Unity; whereby the Unity becometh a love-Fire, or light. '' ... and an ANGRY Jealous God, according to the fiery ground, according to the Eternal Nature ''
(Jakob Böhme, The Clavis or Keys, 1647, p.9).
It is worth mentioning that for Böhme, good and evil are always latent within the same internal visionary and dual individuality as heavenly mining and Heaven-Earth agriculture.
The Paracelsic Ternary of the Golden Chain consists of triads that express the dynamic Becoming of the Cosmos in Principles = 3 and Numbers 5 and the Kabbalistic Pentalfa 7 in the Process of Eternal Immanence.
'' De cavernis metallorum occultus est, qui Lapis est Venerabilis ''
(THOTH-HERMES)
The Concept melancholy- word- and its meaning derives from the Greek in reference to Black and (bile), in allusion and correspondence to the state of being and matter as Nigredo-Lead-Time.
It is Chronos-saturnal and saturnal decrepitude since All Metallic seed belongs to Saturn.
Thus manifested in her the spark of heavenly light, the soul looked at all her works and intentions, including lying in hell and in the wrath of God, she knew that she had made a larvae, a monster in the presence of her and the heavenly kingdom.
Of this she took fear and fell into severe distress, because divine justice was shown to her.
(Jakob Böhme, Dialogue between an Illuminated Soul and one Without Light)
It is the fruitful spiritual state of the Dark Night or the Sacred and Philosophical Pessimism that finds its roots in the Kabalistic tree of the Cosmos.
The Earth element gives the Practical Sense of Life and the Flowery Master was overly practical and realistic.
'' The melancholy that oscillates between morbid sadness, depression and sleep is a typically alchemical state ''
(J. Van Lennep, Arte y Alquimia p. 210).
It is that Millennial Principle of the Flowery Teachers of the Golden Chain, thus making possible the principle of alchemical spirituality by which the substances turn out to be the same elements in the microcosmic Body of Man and his spiritual environment.
That Golden Chain continues to the Abbot Trithemius of Sponheim, since Paracelsus was a student of Trithemio and he was, Master of Dr. Enrique Cornelio Agrippa de Nettesheim-doctor of Luisa de Saboya-, the 16th century Cabalist Theurgist, and famous author of De Occulta philosophia (1510).
Its system is an integral one of Cabala and Angelology and alchemical-astrological Theurgy of Pythagorean foundation.
Guillermo Postel was also a spiritual seed through Böhme's friend and his biographer Abraham von Frankenberg, editing the unique work Clavis absconditorum.
Let us recall the Clavis de Böhme and its bohmist system of Christian esotericism and a Christic and spiritual Alchemy embodied in the Three Ternary principles:
Nature = Macrocosm-Man = Microcosm-The Holy Book-Bible = Word of God-Divine Word.
So it is a Chain of Teachers who follow the Ternary and Mercurial Tradition of the Metallic transformation of a Man in essence with a spiritual body prior to the Fall and ascension to Wisdom as the Way of Salvation.
World and Human Body represents the Signature-Figur of Divinity.
(Jakob Böhme, Von den drei Principien, 1612)
For Böhme, the Essence of God aspires to neoplatonic-paracelsic-astrological Mystical Revelation as Metaphysics of opposites and Personal and Visionary Enlightenment.
God, then, is Revealed as a personal Manifestation in a Heart to Heart dialogue, Wisdom being God's design and Sophia the Principle beyond Perfect Eternity.
That Universal Body is represented as the Heaven and Abode of God where each angel-body is identified with a Great Body that is Heaven = Temple of God as LIGHT and SUBSTANCE = FLESH OF LIGHT.
The Transcendence is carried out on two planes: that of the Absolute and that of Wisdom as the plane of the Supreme Divinity is God making Himself KNOWN.
(De triplici Vita hominis (1620)
They are Universal Principles of a spagyric Homeopathy, whose use advocates from the transformation of internal Saturn as Raw Material.
All this happens in the human body = Man.
Body is Temple and Laboratory.
Human beings have a purpose in their body and as Humanity for the fulfillment of Revelation since God makes himself known through Humanity.
Saturnal darkness is that of the heavy and impure elements.
Saturn is in the lead of Gold's body toxic substances. It is lead and coarse metal.
Studying the uterus, one understands the Alchemical Science of the Genesis of the ALL. "ONE is the ALL, through him the ALL, for him the All, in him ALL." (Zózimo de Panópolis)
Nature is the Book of Secrets.
She is MIRIFICO VERB.
Body of putrefaction-crow-, and the adequate and essential condition of transformation and ascension. '' The inward Man is Eternity and the Spiritual Time in the World, which also consists of Light and Darkness ... ''.
(Böhme, The Suprasensual Life, p.71)
For the Master's Theosophy true knowledge is a Manifestation of the Spirit of God after struggling with Saturnal melancholy. The Saturnal sickle is only the manifestation of the restrictive and melancholic aspect of Life.
That is to say; Every true alchemist knows how difficult it is to be able to transform Lapis Philosophorum by "taking a steam bath with Saturn."
The Way is equivalent to the unconditional following of the Imago of Christ if it manages to overcome Saturn.
It is all a "Saturnal event" and must pass the world of the Hidden Fire and like the "heart must pass the test of the cross in the Fire of God".
(Jacob Böhme, Wunderauge der Ewigkeit = The Prodigious Eye of Eternity)
Saturnal Melancholy was part of his world-spiritual-philosophica-system-, supporting the personal motive of the life and feelings of Divine Master Böhme.
Jacob Böhme was a melancholic, '' deep state of melancoly and sadness ''.
(Aurora) Saturn means that his passage through life (Böhme), something not easy, and that the world really was for him his valley of tears - hence his melancholy -, which leads him through the maximum effort towards overcoming and internal purification of Totally Surrender to God is the key, since God is Born and is expressed in Nature as a Source of anti-saturnal Inspiration.
The Chain is a historical nexus with an internal reality more real and precious than anything in the world through vision: '' in that quarter hour I saw and learnt more than if I had studied many years in some university ... for I perceived and recognized the Being of All Beings. '' (1600-Vision)
This saturnal body is essentially Good and as God is Born into it its transformation into the Divine Ascension is possible.
Everything in God Manifested is "smelling" and tasting in the Third Principle that we Live.
(Jakob Böhme, From the Three Principles of Divine Being, 1660)
All Jakob Böhme's spiritual Theosophy is based and expressed in conceptions grounded and justified in a mentality of the particular and concrete. Since Jakob Böhme, he was realistic and practical with an ethic of iron self-imposed discipline and Saturnal self-knowledge.
''So I have now written, not from human teaching or science from learning books, but from my own book that was opened in me.
For the book of the noble portrait - the image of God - was granted to me to read. My book has only three sheets. These are the three principles of eternity. ''
The Saturnal Sickle indicates the restrictive aspect of life, entailing the passage of life as "Valley of Tears" that necessarily leads to Purification and Spiritual Overcoming.
ALL Metallic seed is Saturnal and limiting in nature. Saturn is between cold and dry because it is far from the Sun.
For Ptolemy: "The planet Saturn, according to its influence, provides mostly coldness, and due to its own frigidity it dries out moderately; ...".
Certain tendencies - due to his coldness - consider him "malefic", something in total disagreement for the Flowery Masters.
Everything dark, foul, and animals like owl, bat, crow, and owl belong to him.
Paracelsus commented that the narcotics in plants dedicated to funeral rituals and ceremonies belong to his saturnal kingdom (opium poppies, belladonna and cannabis = hemp).
His day is Saturday = Saturn-day. The Sons of Saturn love darkness as a fundamental part of light awakening.
Increase black bile = melancholy.
Seventh heaven and cold-dry nature.
Harmonization and rigorous observation of the internal cosmos taking advantage of and recognizing the dual aspects of each zodiacal quality leads us to alchemical-spiritual sublimation.
Since, between us there are correspondences and analogies with the potentiality of each of the planets in our body and its microcosmic order.
The body and the Human Form is the one assumed by the Manifested God as a human being and Christ in his Earthly Body.
God cannot Reveal Himself even for His Own Contemplation without the existence of something other than himself as expression-emission.
God has His Own Mirror of Contemplation and that Mirror is the same Body of the angels since God, before creating our heaven, brought to BEING the PRIMARY SKY.
This Primordial Body is an angelic body and at the same time corresponds to the HEAVENLY EARTH = ETERNAL NATURE.
The Spirit of God is Creative in the Matrix of Wisdom = SOPHIA.
Our world is in the confused life of Saturn as Time and between Light and Darkness as a Reflecting Mirror that reflects both.
That Superior world or Celestial World for Böhme, has its own 'Superior Physis'.
Let us remember that by the end of the 18th century, Saturn was the "Sky Limit" as the most remote in our Solar system.
Jakob Böhme, was a wise astrologer who knew the evident Hellenistic doctrine of the symbolic descent of the soul from astrological sphere to sphere and of the inherent qualities of the planets in the alchemical body of Man.
7 are the successive Stages and Operations that lead from the Saturnal state to the Gold state.
The UNGRUND is the PURE DEITY = Infinite Self-sufficient-Perfect.
It is NOTHING that is BEING to Manifest as Absolute Primordial Freedom and Irrational and Mysterious Principle, that is deposited ,as a spermatic-agricultural germ at the base of the BEING.
The Depth of the heart of the divine PLEROMA or Unfathomable Mystical Totality.
Contains NOTHING and is Everywhere and Nowhere.
It is better not to say ANYTHING.
FREEDOM IS THE BASIS OF BEING.
Totality-Primordial Heaven-Celestial Macrocosm = Body of angels and Eternal Nature.
The Blessed Kabbalah for Böhme, will be the source of many Christian mystical thinkers of the 17th and 18th centuries where the wrath of God is manifested between the duality of evil as the principle of the dark-negative, possible to be transfigured into Light.
It is the polarity of BEING and the dialectical synthesis of opposites in Man himself. Since for Böhme, Evil does not enter the world through Adam = Sin-Darkness, it is Potentially inherent "in potentia" from Origin without Origin.
Eternal Nature is prior to Creation, therefore it rises in an ABYSS = BYSS AND ABBYS.
Nothing and ALL>
Wisdom is the Mirror for God to know himself in Multiplicity.
Salvation becomes the Complete Man by overcoming the Saturnal-Luciferian Sphere of the Material World and "Third Principle", in the external form of Will-Imagination.
'' with the stern Fire- World, according to the Father's Property and according to the Light and Love World is the Sonnes Property; and yet it is, but ONE only Substance undivided, but ONE GOD; as FIRE and LIGHT is ONE. ''
( Jacob Böhme, An Apology and Reply upon Esaiah Stiefel, Trans. John Sparrow (London, 1651), no.16.90)
The entire Universe is produced through the alchemical combustion of the Cosmos and through metaphysical ternaries in opposite principles manifested in reactions dialectical friction-light and expansive.
That Light-Dark Center-Contact Point is divided and marked by the '' Creative Spark '' = '' Lightning Flash '' of the Father-Fire.
Hegel assimilates this dialectical system in his Philosophy of Thesis and antithesis generating synthesis.
Principle = Source of Darkness Power = Light. The Born = comes out of the dark by Power of LIGHT.
Böhme enriches with the 4 Principle = SOPHIA which is Speculum veritatis = Mirror of the Truth of the Flowering Heart that Resides in `` The Paradise of THE ROSE of DELEITE according to Böhme The Divine Nature will only be Perfect at the end of the Constant Movement of BEING.
Böhme's Theory prefigures Divine Imagination as Theosophical Theology of Vision.
Although his Saturn in Natal Chart was not favorable for the treatment of others towards him.
Let us recall the 'Tontejo'=Fool, of the pastor Gregor Richter, who in his obstinate and fanatical zeal ridiculously hinders the dissemination of the Magisterial thought 'cult and' Heretic '' -in the best of its meaning-, of the greatest Thinker and intellectual Seed of generations of beings who still drink from their Source of Christic and PURE LIGHT.
The soul is truly the EYE OF GOD and THE EYE OF FIRE.
Eye that confers Life to the soul and its primitive state is in the same Fire Life.
Necessary then, the Will-Imagination to leave that Saturnal state and access through mystical death to the other Fire-Love Principle.
To remain in the Original Saturnal Fire is not to ascend and live the melancholy and harsh anger like burning desire and consumption or hunger wandering through ETERNITY and ETERNAL ANGUISH.
(Jakob Böhme, Theosophische)
7 the Spirits and 7 the Qualities of each thing and are 7 the active agents in All Natural process.
Wisdom represents the divinity that although transcendent remains present in Nature as hypostasis of the divine Presence.
The Holy Spirit is 7 Seventh Form and Central Union of the two Ternaries = 6 and Star of 7 POINTS.
7 Forces of the Cosmos and 7 Forces-Centers in the Complete Man.
The Querubic Pilgrim is the Perfect Man in the Flowing and Pulsing Heart of Light-Christ-Man.
(Angelus Silesius, Cherubinischer Wandersmann)
Since knowing God is grasping Wisdom as a Personified Act. Desire and Thought of God who INCARNATES in the LIGHT or Spirit of LIGHT = BODY.
All the things and works of God are related to Wisdom as the First Cause and the Final Cause.
The WORD VERB is your creative vehicle since wisdom does not create only The Word is Creative.
It is the Image the Fruit of Divine Thought and it is in it that the Ultimate Reality of things Resides.
It is a Mirror of Fire in which God is Revealed since the INSUNDABLE Divine = IN SOF, it is also; "Mystical Eye of ETERNITY".
'' It is similar to an EYE that Sees; but who does not see in order to see, because seeing does not have BEING (...). See in Yourself. ''
(Jakob Böhme)
Our World is a mirror enough to reflect the other nature of the world above.
The externalized Divinity is understood as action outside of itself.
The Birth of the Luminous Life is revealed by the Cycle of 7 in the two aspects of the World emanating between the dark and the luminous.
That Saturnal Soul is a Ravenous Fire and it is necessary to nourish it - constantly -, so that it does not become Sad Valley, Melancholic and Hungry.
(Böhme)
'' We have the example of the famous German mystic Jakob Böhme, who in six years (from 1618 to 1624) created a theosophical literature even more vast than the Zohar. ''
(Gershom Scholem, The Great Trends of Jewish Mysticism, p.212)
The philosophical influence of powerful thought and the Ternary-Metaphysical-Dialectic of Böhme, was marked and substantial in Hegel, Hartmann, Schopenhauer, Fichte, Bergeson, Heidegger and in the genius of William Blake he was unusual and firm:
`` William Blake's fundamental Gnostic Philosophy indebtdnees to Böhme (along with Emanuel Swedenborg and Paracelsus ''.
(Dr. Tobías Churton, Exeter University)
Let us remember the great 'German Romantic Philosopher', Friedrich Schelling's and his defense of Böhme's thought, in: Of Human Freedom.
Man is absorbed by the Christ Contemplation of Divinity abandoning that 'God' Unknown '' through the Emanation his Rest in Self-sufficiency and awakening to another Mystical Light, in heartfelt pulsations of that Divine Light.
"That is why Christ became man in the Feminine Element and redirects the masculine element to the Sacred Matrix."
(Jakob Böhme, Mysterium magnum)
It is the constant fight against Evil as the Principle of the Wrath of God transformed into Light.
AZOTH is the Beginning and the End of Everything.
Mystical Pietism and Paracelsic substratum, together with the integration of the Chain of Thought or Chain of Ancestral GOLD, of which Böhme is part of integrating the transcendent philosophy of the occult and scientific system of the influence of the Renaissance.
Three Principles of Archeus that are: Salt-matter, Sulfur-Soul-Mercury-Spirit.
That system of Triads or Ternaries that Paracelsus himself inherits from others is integrated into Böhme's vision, through the dynamic becoming in Three Principles of the Cosmos and as Eternal Immanence.
The two Worlds must be represented as a Two-Wheeled Gear composed of Three Qualities, salt, sulfur, and mercury, which are manifested in the somber basic principle as Sour, Bitter and Anguish Fire.
By rubbing you get a Spark from them, "the schrack" or initial reaction.
When it penetrates its Mother, "acrimony" becomes the Source of the second Luminous Principle, of "INSUNDABLE LOVE".
(Three Principles, 1682)
TERNARIUM AB UNITATEM AD DUCITO -SIGILLUM SAPIENTUM
Saturn is the representation of the inner Father.
Chronos- Khronos in Greek-, and the youngest son of Uranus = Heaven and Gaia = Earth, achieving their separation by castrating Uranus.
Ur = the root Ur means Fire = '' urere '' = to burn.
Agrippa commented that both Saturn and Mercury were both "Earthy".
It is important to point out that Saturn rules the right ear and the left Eye.
The Ternary in the thought of Böhme, is part of the Tradition of alchemical-neoplatonic thought of clear zodiacal origin.
So, the division of the Zodiac corresponds in analog reference with 12 spatial angles of 30 degrees = 360.
There are twelve Beings that support the Path to the Sun.
4 times Three Force support the Cosmos.
Every triangular figure has a base of 4 and the trigons are subordinate to the 4 Elements.
In astrological alchemy, the term Planet has meaning for Moon-Sun.
And, the elements are not and do not refer to the same elements of science.
And the planets are archetypes that represent and draw animal shapes that are related to the microcosm of Man.
Beliefs constantly adopted and recast by Egyptian astronomers and astrologers of clear Chaldean, Babylonian and Greek origin during the fourth century BC. C.
'' ... in those same third and second centuries BC in Egypt which saw a development of astrology itself. The zodiac as we know it, with its twelve signs, was a invention of the Babylonians ''
(Jim Tester, A History of Western Astrology, New York, 1987, p.25).
'' All alchemists know that you can not, in any way, change the shape of the metal if they were not previously reduced to Materia Prima ''
(Albert the Great, Compositum of Compositis, chap. III, p.26)
The Science of Hermes, take a close look at "Saturnal decrepitude" in All Things since Saturnal Melancholy is one of the essential Foundations of the "mood" states and soul stages of matter.
Saturn is practical and disciplined as the Planet of responsibility, symbolizing the ethics of hard and extreme work to the limit.
Let us remember that Saturn was the same Roman god Titan and Father of Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto.
Symbol of Father Time and Ancient of days.
Planet of extreme diligence and control of oneself and its limitations.
The Alchemist Masters were scholars rigorously dedicated to the hidden Mythology of an alchemical-theurgical nature.
Kronos devours the Stone.
On the other hand, his Domain includes Patience-Stability-Maturity-Realism.
In turn, internally carries an influence- Cold-Severe- Restrictive- Dry and Severe.
The saturnal alchemical nature combines the cold and dry in the physical and organic-physiological body is a strong indicator of the sense of concentration, the retardation in the phenomena of the Athanor-Fire, and the decrease of the heat-vivacity and hindering of the vital and organic functions .
That is Saturnal Power.
In matters of a psychic nature Saturn is slow, cold, heavy and sad and very taciturn-melancholic.
It is a planet that is inclined to hardness, inflexibility and thoughtful intolerance.
These Saturnal Masters are inclined to be alone and show aversion to the expansion of worldly pleasures and the so-called "happiness of the world".
There is no doubt that Saturn manifests itself in planes of condensation and constant internal tension.
It is the BEING and Not Being embodied in All Things or, The Yes and No in All Things.
'' All Things have come out of the Root of Fire, like a Double Birth '' ... in Light, Good and Darkness Evil. '' ETERNITY and TIME when they Agree, In UNION Join'd and HARMONY ' '
(Jakob Böhme)
The ideographic coordination of the astrological iconography of Saturn-Jupiter merge components and combinations of the Croix-Croissant, following the constructive logic of the master astrologers-alchemists and meaning evolution - '' le grand transformateur '' -, constructive.
(Oswald Wirth, Le Symbolisme Hermétique, Paris, 1969, p.4)
At its saturnal root, life is dark before being Light, and eternal nature well includes the two complementary principles of saturnal darkness and sunlight.
Wisdom and the Transcendent Divinity embodies - to be manifest - in the BEING as the culmination of Eternal Nature.
She as transcendent Divinity in her own Transcendence is not the BEING.
Since the God Revealed through SOPHIA is necessary to know God.
Now, that Wisdom can be found embodied in levels and it is the LIGHT Böhme manages to verify that the true transcendence of God entails the authentic manifestation of a complementary relationship with the Eternal Nature.
That Nature includes two antagonistic-complementary principles = Darkness-Light.
Life at its Root is dark and before being a manifestation of the Light Life is DARK FIRE.
So in order to manifest and make oneself knowable, the Divine assumes appearance - Speculum Veritatis - of Visibility.
Likewise, God is hidden in Saturn in order to "be revealed."
And, to know yourself, it manifests itself in the Human Body, which is darkness and light.
Its essential nature is good since as an eternal Nature it is an Emanated World and a Good Human body.
That Life is born from the aqueous-saturnal substance of "Gehenna" and is an internal Dark Fire that in order to manifest itself has to find the exact measure to become Light.
That Transcendence is the LEAD of the Supreme Divinity that is conceived as a solid symbiotic relationship of the preceding world emanating from the Created world.
In its Absolute Transcendence Divinity is Dumb but; in its Reflecting Double Mirror is SOPHIA.
God is known in our body and human beings are created for the faithful fulfillment of that Divine Revelation that is made known through humanity.
Hidden God is not revealed.
In his Jakob Böhme Theosophy, he reflects on an Absolute who does not know himself and who aspires to be KNOWN for Himself and the creatures, to be God Revealed knowing Himself.
Then, by analogy, it is known and manifests in the Saturnal Body of Man. Light is its Substance and Flesh.
Get Visibility.
God is EVERYTHING and the Infinite in Itself is NOTHING and It is NOT FULLNESS to be realized in Fullness uses its Double Mirror-Sophia.
She as WISDOM is the KEY to the MYSTERY.
That Spirit of God is Creator in the Matrix of Wisdom since the Celestial World has its own Superior 'physis'.
That lower world for Böhme, is the world below involves another "nature" that the upper world and the one above is situated between the Absolute and our Heaven as "Another Heaven".
The alchemical and saturnal body of Man, the form of the body, condenses the Signature of the Cosmos manifesting in the human body and the Human Form as the Symbol of All Symbols.
'' This world is, in the confused life of time, between light and darkness, like a Mirror that reflects both '' (Jakob Böhme)
Later, in order to manifest life is dark and Saturnal, before being authentic Light and Gold.
'' Saturn also is the House of Silver, he is likewise the Cause of the first Conception, but he turns his Desire only upon the Golden Child ... '
(Jacob Böhme, The Signature of All Things = Signaturum Rerum, p.IV, 31).
For the manifestation of God it is necessary to know and acquire the appearance of visibility - himself knowable -, the manifestation in 'light' must assume the Human Body.
And to what; Light is Substance and Flesh and human beings were created for the fulfillment of Revelation since God makes himself known through man.
The Absolute does not know itself and is Hidden God = Elusive Divinity that does not know itself.
That Divinity aspires to be known by being able to overcome the Saturnal Sphere of 'lower astrology' and Mother of Lead.
'' Every Man is Free and is like God of himself.
(Jacob Böhme, Theosophical Writings-Theosophische Werke, Amsterdam, 1682).
The truth is that: to transform oneself, it is first necessary to manifest and make oneself visible as the revealed God who knows himself.
Saturn brings Jakob Böhme the Signature of the sense of justice and depth of thought and spirit of philosophical inquiry with strong learnings to the occult and slow asceticism and sustained ascension.
'' This ground is called Mysterium magnum, or chaos, because good and evil arise out of it, viz. light and darkness, life and death, joy and grief, salvation and damnation
(Jacob Böhme, The Clavis or Key, 1647. 50, p.10).
Saturn has as a symbol the Cross on the semicircle and points out that matter and the body, through multiple obstacles and hindrances, can succeed in Christic ascension.
The alchemy of the Saturnal body is nervous, demanding magnetic and often sterile.
Saturnal Nature denies itself and through this negation it reaches the Fullness of Being.
That saturnal body represents the final degree of a constant Cycle of seven- Cycle of 7 Stages of primordial Nature-, parts that they are born from the conversion of saturnal desire in the physical body as the Abode of God.
It is a matter of the principle of the search for the spiritual and experimental alchemy of the substances that come to represent the internal elements of Man and his spiritual environment since it is a procedure to materialize in the Body of Man.
For Böhme, death in general is only a: "chemical accident of the body", as an internal reality on the way to alchemical ascension.
''Boehme's example showed that Christianity could be more than ethics and the Scriptures (though he was quite expert in these); More than rites, aestheticism, and sacraments.It could be an inner reality more real than anything in the world and more precious than anything in the world could teach ''
(Joscelyn Godwin, The Golden Threathm p. 114)
Through this Saturnal Force of Jakob Böhme ciscumstances, they are driven to overcome melancholy, depression and saturnal obstacles-limitations.
Darkness is at the Center of Light.
Saturn is part of our body and speaks about our Internal Cosmos, the '' Seven Administrators '' and Astrological Planets = Spiritual constitution of Man.
Jakob Böhme progression of the Seven Planets-Source-Spirits are perspective of dynamic qualities or Manifestation of the Glory of God in the stages of his '' Creation ''.
Every true Master of La Flor has the obligation to study with scientific precision the Wisdom of a serious and educated astrology of Tradition.
(C. G. Jung and R. WilHelm, The Secret of The Golden Flower, p.16).
Jakob Böhme, was an Astrology Master and his Theosophy system is rich in imagery of planets and stars, angelic sacred intermediaries and Celestial Vision and Opera Omnia.
It is the Astrum Paracelsic = Sydus = Alchimia microcosmi.
The Soul Physician is and must be an astrologer.
(Paracelsus-Labyrinthus Medicorum, chap. II)
Paracelsus as Master of The Flower who followed his spiritual disciple of the Golden Chain, Jakob Böhme, indicates the outer sky to heal the inner one.
"From the outside the interior is known", since the Course of Heaven clarifies the course and regime of Fire in the personal and alchemical Athanor of the Flowering Heart.
Only a genuine astrologer uses the Saturnal Sickle to cut the Wings of Mercury.
Jakob Böhme's Melancholia capitis was Saturnal.
It is the "Ray of Saturn" that goes from Saturn to Jupiter according to Paracelsus.
Philosophia-Sapientia and Science are the same thing = ARCANUM.
Hoc Hoc Agentibus Nobis Aderit Ibse Deus = '' Happy is he who follows the Lord's Warning ''
(Heinrich Khunrath)
Saturn is symbolic of your Dark side = Shadow and represents lupus metallorum = Wolf of the Metals. Because devoured All the Known Metals except: GOLD.
To Saturn, Böhme calls him, "the cold, rigid, hard and severe Regent, who manages to create the material skeleton of the world and therefore was: " a noble form of a philosophical pattern ".
Plotinus called Saturn the 'Pure Spirit'.
The Substance of Nature-7- that in the Alchemical Art are called the same as the 7 Metal-Planets derived from a Unique and Indivisible Nature.
The Flower Master Enrique Cornelio Agrippa, believed that Saturn was "a great lord, wise and cautious, author of the Inner Contemplation"
(De Occulta Philosophia, 1510)
The secret terminology that the Master receives is part of an Alkí Primordial Tradition mica-Kabbalistics of clear paracelsic and neoplatonic origin.
The Saturnal Stone when transformed becomes "Long-Life Elixir" through the properties of the Sopic Fire or Secret and Secret Fire of alchemy.
And it is Saturn who limits that Life as "childrens play and woman's work" = Ludus puerurum.
Christian Theosophy and all its system of high and deep thought is nourished by that Millennial notion Tradition of Venerable Wise Masters of the Sacred Word and Nomina Sacra.
It is the Way of the Flowering and Thorned Heart = Sursum Corda, by Saturn Master: '' Vana Vanis: Terrestria Terrenus Nos Assurga Mus et Emigremus '' (Jakob Böhme)
For paracelsic thought-Jakob Böhme, the body is essentially good since God is born, smells, feels and expresses himself through this vehicle. Nature is the Source of inspiration for Spagyrus = (Philosopher of Nature) and it is a must to read the Book of Nature and its subtle and cryptic messages.
The Bible = Word of God through personal, emotional, saturnal and existential vision and experience.
Ascension is the search for the inner light-darkness and fifth essence that inhabits the Heart.
AD FONTES, EX FONTIBUS = To the Source from the Soources.
Vision is a Theory of Divine Imagination as a Source of Direct Wisdom and Revelation = Rape of God!
God is Angry and Jealous - Darkness - and Consuming Fire as a First Principle.
As a Second Principle God is like Sun and called of Love-Mercy, the Word the Heart of God.
The Third Principle is this World of the Four Elements produced by the two lower Worlds and the Mirror.
Here Light-Darkness mix.
Evil and Good are not Eternal as they are OUROBORUS- No Beginning No End.
The Symbol of Light for Jakob Böhme is FIRE.
That Sacred Fire as Fire of God is 'Fire of Love' but; when the Divinity is not Manifested in a Thing -according to the Unity-, and then it exists there the anguish and pain reappear as an effect of the Consuming Fire.
'' ... and where God is not manifested in a thing, according to the Unity, there is an Anguishing. painful, burning Fire ''
(Clavis, (48)).
The Designs of God are conceived in the manifestation of His Works as Wisdom and Plan in Conclusion.
That Wisdom is embodied by levels and in Light.
We are a '' sounding board '' = (Hall des geformten), where the Divine Word Incarnates
She is the Spirit of Light announced by Lira and AURORA as the Advent of the Holy Spirit.
'' The Mysterium magnum is a subject of the Wisdom, where the breathing word, or the working willing power of the divine understanding, floweth forth through the Wisdom, where also the Unity of God together flowed out, to its manifestation ''.
(Jakob Böhme, Clavis)
Man needs to incarnate the Body of Light and make his Primordial Heaven Internal as Clothing and Ideal-Perfect-Form.
Perfect Wisdom and Desire-Thought of God. The Night hidden under its Mantle the Light and the Transcendence of the Pure Deity is UNTOUCHABLE in Essence.
'' Now it is from this Light that I have my Knowledge, as well as my will and desire, and I will write down this Knowledge as well as I can ... ''
(Jakob Böhme, Aurora, ch. 19, 1612 )
Heaven and Earth are inside since there is a whole astrological and physiological system or astrophysical structure in Man, "'Heaven is Man and Man is Heaven'" -Speculum Veritatis -, and the course of heaven is the Saturn course in the Athanor = Saturnus, aurum non vulgi-sal sapientiae.
ARCHEUS = Scientia Immutabilis.
It is a Universal Energy that springs from the Great Mysterium and Signature of All Things - Signaturum Rerum and Primordial Form of All that is the receptacle and container, '' cabinet of the Spirit (Böhme).
All the Forms are contained in the three worlds that reside in itself as the Christic Image of God that at birth is contained in these alchemical-saturnal principles in the body [signature], in recurrent encounter -bios-thanatos-bios = life- death-life-Ouroborus.
'' How that all whatever is spoken of God without the Knowledge of the Signature is dumb and without Understanding; And that In the Signature the essence of All Things is maintained and concentrated as Arcana Arcannisima.
"The fish lives in the water, the plant in the earth, the bird in the air, the sun in the firmament. The salamander must be preserved in the fire and God's heart is Jacob Böhme's element.”
(Angelus Silesius (1624-1677, Silesian poet and theologian)
All human properties come from UNO-OMNIA AB UNO OMNIA IN UNO OMNIA PER UNO.
Camino=The Way of The FLOWER in search of the T'oyson d'Or and Aureum Vellus.
Totality is a state of complementary Integrity
'' In the human Mind the Signature lies most artificially composed according to the Essence of All Essences; and Man wants nothing but the wise Master that can strike his Instrument which is the true Spirit of The Might of Eternity; ...
(Jakob Böhme, Signature Rerum the Signature of All Things, John Ellistone)
