Schelling ruhmte den Gorlitzer Schuster Jakob Bohme und seine mystisch-theosophischen Schriften als "Eine Wundererscheinung in der Geschichte des deutschen Geistes". Philosophen wie Leibniz und Hegel, Feuerbach und Ernst Bloch haben ihn ebenso intensiv studiert wie spirituell suchende Menschen jeder Couleur. Es hat ein neues Fragen begonnen, wie Bohme Gott, Natur und Mensch einer Gesamtschau unterzieht und wie der innere Weg aussieht, den er beschreibt. Der Bohme-Interpret Gerhard Wehr hat exemplarische Texte des Naturphilosophen und des kundigen Seelenfuhrers ausgewahlt. Sie stammen aus der beruhmten Aurora oder Morgenrote im Aufgang, aus Bohmes Dialogen und Briefen:"So man will von Gott reden, was Gott sei, so muss man fleiig erwagen, die Krafte in der Natur."Obwohl selbst von niedrigem Bildungsstand, ubt der zunachst als Schumacher tatige Mystiker, Philosoph und Theosoph Jakob Bohme (1575-1624) seit mehr als vier Jahrhunderten auf Philosophen, Theologen, Psychologen und Dichter eine bis heute ungebrochene Wirkung aus. Dem Drangen seiner Freunde ist es zu verdanken, dass er seine mystischen Erfahrungen uberhaupt verschriftlichte - ein Ansinnen, das fur Bohme jedoch zeitweise mit erheblichen Gefahren verbunden war, da er von seinen Gegnern der Haresie bezichtigt und mit Publikationsverbot belegt wurde.Zu den mageblichsten Schriften seines umfangreichen Werkes zahlen die hier in Auswahl versammelten Texte Aurora, Von der neuen Wiedergeburt, Vom dreifachen Leben des Menschen, Vom ubersinnlichen Leben, Gesprach einer erleuchteten und unerleuchteten Seele sowie die Theosophischen Sendbriefe.

Dieses Werk stellt die religiose Erfahrung Bohmes dar, die nicht blo mystisch im Innern der Seele aufgeht, sondern zugleich auch die Sinne, die Natur, die Entwicklungen der Lebewesen und, konkret in diesem Werk vollzogen, auch die klanglichen Formungen des sprachlichen Ausdrucks durchlauft.Diese Erfahrung ist dem Autor nicht blo passiv gegeben, sondern vollzieht sich als ein immer neuer, ewiger Geburtsprozess, so schmerzhaft wie schopferisch, in dem "der Geist durchbricht". Langs dieses Geburtsprozesses entfalten sich die gottlichen Schopfungskrafte in Gestalt der sieben "Qualitaten" oder "Quellgeister" (Begierde, Bewegnis, Angstqualitat, Feuerblitz, Liebe, Hall und Schall, Verstandnis) und bringen einander und alle Natur durch ebendiesen Geburtsprozess hervor.Die Naturseite dieser "Dynamik des Geisterreiches", wie der Bohmeverehrer Novalis es spater nennen wird, wird traditionell Alchemie genannt; es ist Paracelsus, dessen medizinischen und naturphilosophischen, pansophischen und theosophischen Impulse in Bohmes "Qualitaten"-Entwicklung mitspielen. Ubrigens entsteht die Chymische Hochzeit Christiani Rosencreutz, eine kluge, von bunten Imaginationen gesattigte, selbstironische, gelehrt-lehrreiche Erzahlung des Johann Valentin Andreae zur gleichen Zeit wie die Aurora, gleichfalls auf Paracelsus-Basis, aber Bohmes Werk lebt aus religioser Erfahrung und Bibeldurchdringung, wahrend Andreae eher narrativen Witz spielen lasst. Die auerordentliche Wirkung beruht vor allem auf der Sprache Bohmes: Im bestandigen Ringen um Versinnlichung des Ubersinnlichen und um Ausdruck fur das Unerhorte gewinnt er eine energische Plastizitat, eine kraftvolle Originalitat, die in ihrer poetischen Dichte nur noch den Spruchen der Propheten und Psalmendichter vergleichbar ist.Vor allem aber vermag diese Sprache den Leser selbst zu entzunden, zu begeistern, den dort gestalteten, sich ringend immer neu gestaltenden Geburtsprozess in ihm selbst auszulosen, zu erwecken, zu verwirklichen.

The Signature of All Things (1621) presents B0h0me0s theosophy: every being bears a signature that reveals its origin in the divine ground. From the Ungrund to nature0s birth, he maps how wrath and love, bitter and sweet, sulfur, mercury, and salt articulate the One into the manifold. Mixing Scripture with Paracelsian natural philosophy, he reads plants, stones, and stars as hieroglyphs; the style is visionary, metaphor-rich, diagrammatic, and unscholastic. A shoemaker of G0rlitz, B0h0me underwent a decisive illumination around 1600 when reflected light on a pewter dish disclosed the inner signature of things. Censured after Aurora by Lutheran authorities, he wrote this treatise to vindicate a devout reading of nature beside Scripture. He draws on Tauler and the Theologia Germanica, on Paracelsus, and on artisanal knowledge of fire and matter amid the unsettled onset of the Thirty Years0 War. Scholars and seekers alike will find here a rigorous, poetic grammar for reading creation. Admirers of Blake, Novalis, Schelling, or Hegel will recognize a crucial ancestor; historians of science and religion will meet a seminal interpreter of Paracelsian nature. Read slowly, attending to symbols and contraries, and let B0h0me teach you to discern the world0s signatures with humility and intellectual audacity.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
