Publisher's Synopsis
Dialogues on the Supersensual Life is a philosophical and spiritual book written by Jacob Boehme, a German mystic and theologian. The book consists of a series of dialogues between two characters, Theophilus and Sophia, who discuss various aspects of the spiritual life and the path to union with God. The dialogues cover topics such as the nature of God, the human soul, the role of reason and faith, and the process of spiritual transformation. Boehme's writing is deeply mystical and contemplative, and he draws on a range of esoteric and Christian traditions to explore the nature of the divine and the human experience of it. The book is considered a classic of Christian mysticism and has influenced many spiritual thinkers and writers over the centuries.Edited by William Law. �������The Soul, in the doctrine of Boehme, is a Being which has a will or desire, and is aided by a mirror of understanding or imagination. Will or Desire is of the very essence of the Soul, inseparable from its existence. He says: �������Where Desire is, there is also Essence or Being.' The Soul is subject to the diverse attractions of the Centre of Divine Life and Light, and of the Spirit of the World. Enlightened by its understanding it has the free power to turn its will towards, and unite itself to, this or that. Choose well, thy choice is brief and yet endless.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
