Sinopse

Dialogues on the Supersensual Life is a book written by Jacob Boehme, a German Christian mystic and theologian. The book is a collection of dialogues between a spiritual teacher and his student, exploring the nature of the divine and the path towards the ''supersensual life'' - a state of spiritual enlightenment beyond the limitations of the physical world.Through these dialogues, Boehme delves into topics such as the nature of God, the purpose of human existence, the role of suffering and evil in the world, and the path towards spiritual transformation. He draws on his own mystical experiences and insights to offer a unique perspective on these timeless questions.The book is written in a poetic and metaphorical style, with the dialogues often taking on a dream-like quality. It is intended to be read slowly and contemplatively, inviting the reader to enter into a deeper understanding of the spiritual life.Overall, Dialogues on the Supersensual Life is a profound and thought-provoking exploration of the nature of God and the human soul, offering insights that are relevant to seekers of all spiritual traditions.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.
