The Cosmology of Jacob Böhme

The Cosmology of Jacob Böhme Víctor. Arturo. Cabello. Reyes. On November 17, 1624, the Lutheran theologian Jakob Böhme died in Görlitz, Germany. We are immersed in an alchemical Cosmos in constant transformation and evolution as actors of a great event in the Cosmos. It is our turn to be participants in the transformation by carrying out the arduous task of personal alchemical transformation. Our bodily substance is anchored in Three Principles of the Salt-Sulfur-Mercury Universe. Nothing to do with salt, sulfur and vulgar mercury. = "Aurum nostrum non est aurum vulgus". '' Well, although human beings are made of nothing, they are made of something that has Triple Division. These three parts constitute the whole man and are man himself, and each one in its specific composition is sulfur, mercury and salt, and each one in its specific composition forms a concrete totality, a corpus. '' (Heinrich Schipperges, Paracelsus and his followers, p.228) If we can identify the components of the Ternary in our body, in this way, we can now enter into a healing therapeutic process of the physiological and spiritual components of it. For the Art of Vulcan and Ternary Arcanum restores and heals. That same system of triads of Paracelsus is fused by the Master of the flower Jacob Bohme, expressing the reality of the Sacred Ternary as the manifestation of dynamic becoming and external immanence. It is the formative structure of the structural reality of the Mysterium magnum = Salt = matter, Sulfur = soul and Mercury = Spirit. ''These three principles are independent, but at the same time they all three interact at once: they engender each other, while each remaining distinct'' ... (Basarab Nicolescu, Science, Meaning and Evolution. The Cosmology of Jacob Böhme, p.22) Definitely these Three Universal Principles remain unalterable and invisible, remaining untouchable and immeasurable. '' And this threefold spirit is not measurable, divisibles or fathomables; for there is no place found for it, and it is at the same time the unground of eternity, which gives birth to itself within itself in a ground. '' (Jacob Böhme, Sex Puncta Theosophica, 1620) The Master of the Flower Miguel de Sendivogius (1566-?), Already expresses in his famous Philosophical Letter and indicates, on the Ternary or Hypostasis of the Neoplatonists embodied in Three Principles of Nature: ''The first thing that must be contemplated in this, are the hypostatic principles: they are active substances taken from the elements ... We call these three principles Salt, sulfur and Mercury '' Of the Three Principles of Nature) Plotinus calls them 'Light' = ONE-Intelligence = Sun and Soul = Moon. Ternary Principles that engender the Three levels or worlds - forces that of Fire - light and the material manifestation of our world as Speculum Veritatis = Mirror of Truth. We are seeds and material manifestation of the Cosmic Ternary-Tria prima. `` ... so also in like manner is every mass or seed of the Ternary or Trinity in every man '' (Jacob Bohme, Aurora, p.711) It is evident that in the vast alchemical iconography of the engravings, the schematics Ternarios is an ancient reference and is exposed through the spiritual philosophical assimilation of the Scala Philosophorum Cabalística y Mágica.
