    About this ebook

    ♦ This ebook has been aesthetically optimized for digital reading ♦
    Jacob Böhme or Behmen was a German philosopher, Christian mystic and Luthéran Protestant theologian. His philosophical-religious oeuvre is remarkable for its richness and originality. It made an impact far beyond German borders, both to the East and to the West. G.W.F. Hegel referred to him as "the first German philosopher". Behmen had to defend his writings against religious and secular authorities alike.

    Included : THE LIFE OF JACOB BEHMEN, The Teutonic Theosopher.
    Behmen's nickname "philosophus teutonicus" has to do with the fact that he wrote in his German mother tongue rather than in Latin.

      DEAR Reader,

      If thou wilt use these Words aright, and art in good Earnest, thou shalt certainly find the Benefit thereof. But I desire thou mayest be warned, if thou art not in Earnest, not to meddle with the dear Names of God, in and by which the most High Holiness is invoked, moved, and powerfully desired, lest they kindle the Anger of God in thy Soul. For we must not abuse the Holy Names of God. This little Book is only for those that would fain repent, and are in a Desire to begin. Such will find what Manner of Words therein, and whence they are born. Be you herewith commended to the Eternal Goodness and Mercy of God.

      OF HEAVEN AND HELL

      A DIALOGUE BETWEEN A SCHOLAR AND HIS MASTER

      by Jacob Behmen (Jakob Boehme) 1575-1624, The Teutonic Theosopher

      SHOWING

      Whither the blessed and the damned Souls go when they depart from their Bodies;

      and How Heaven and Hell are in Man;

      Where the Angels and Devils dwell in this World's Time;

      How far Heaven and Hell are asunder;

      and What and Whence the Angels and Human Souls are;

      What the Body of Man is; and Why the Soul is capable of receiving Good and Evil;

      Of the Destruction of the World;

      Of Man's Body in and after the Resurrection; Where Heaven and Hell shall be;

      Of the Last Judgement; and Why the Strife in the Creature must be.

      Composed by a Soul that loveth all who are Children of JESUS CHRIST, under the Cross.

      A DIALOGUE between JUNIUS, a SCHOLAR,

      and THEOPHORUS, his MASTER

      The Scholar asked his Master, saying;

      Whither goeth the Soul when the Body dieth?

      His master answered him;

      There is no Necessity for it to go any whither.

      What not! said the inquisitive Junius:

      Must not the Soul leave the Body at Death, and go either to Heaven or Hell?

      It needs no going forth, replied the venerable Theophorus:

      Only the outward mortal Life with the Body shall separate themselves from the Soul. The Soul hath Heaven and Hell within itself before, according as it is written, "The Kingdom of God cometh not with Observation, neither shall they say, Lo here! or Lo there! For behold the Kingdom of God is within you." And which soever of the two, that is, either Heaven or Hell is manifested in it, in that the Soul standeth.

      Here Junius said to his Master;

      This is hard to understand. Doth it not enter into Heaven or Hell, as a Man entereth into a House; or as one goeth through a Hole or Casement, into an unknown Place; so goeth it not into another World?

      The Master spoke and said;

      No. There is verily no such Kind of entering in; forasmuch as Heaven and Hell are everywhere, being universally co-extended.

      How is that possible? said the Scholar.

      What, can Heaven and Hell be here present, where we are now sitting? And if one of them might, can you make me believe that both should ever be here together?

      Then spoke the Master in this Manner:

      I have said that Heaven is everywhere present; and it is true. For God is in Heaven; and God is everywhere. I have said also, that Hell must be in like Manner everywhere; and that is also true. For the wicked One, who is the Devil, is in Hell; and the whole World, as the Apostle hath taught us, lieth in the wicked One, or the evil One; which is as much as to say, not only that the Devil is in the World, but also that the World is in the Devil; and if in the Devil, then in Hell too, because he is there. So Hell therefore is everywhere, as well as Heaven; which is the Thing that was to be proved.

      The Scholar, startled hereat, said,

      Pray make me to understand this.

      To whom the Master said:

      Understand then what Heaven is: It is but the Turning in of the Will into the Love of God. Wheresoever thou findest God manifesting Himself in Love, there thou findest Heaven, without
