About this title

Synopsis

I'm sorry, but there seems to be a misunderstanding. The book ""The Signature Of All Things"" is actually written by Elizabeth Gilbert, not Jacob Boehme. Elizabeth Gilbert is an American author known for her best-selling memoir ""Eat, Pray, Love."" ""The Signature Of All Things"" is a novel that tells the story of Alma Whittaker, a brilliant botanist who is born in the late 18th century and grows up in a wealthy family in Philadelphia. Alma's father, Henry Whittaker, is a self-made man who made his fortune through the plant trade, and he instills in Alma a love for botany and science. As Alma grows up, she becomes one of the leading botanists of her time, traveling the world in search of new plant species and studying their properties. Along the way, she encounters a number of fascinating characters, including a Tahitian man named Ambrose Pike who becomes her lover and a spiritual guide. ""The Signature Of All Things"" is a sweeping epic that spans multiple continents and centuries, exploring themes of science, spirituality, love, and the human quest for knowledge. It is a richly detailed and beautifully written novel that has been praised for its vivid characters and lush descriptions of the natural world.THIS 220 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Signature of all Things; of the Supersensual Life; of Heaven and Hell; Discourse Between Two Souls, by Jacob Boehme.

From the Back Cover

How does the individual relate to the world, to the universe, to the soul? The question is fundamental to both modern theology and modern psychology, and much of the contemporary thinking on the matter grew out of this numinous treatise by German mystic JACOB BOEHME (1575-1624), one of the most confounding of the Reformation-era Christian theologians.

Also known as the Signatura Rerum and first published in 1621, this is one of Boehme's major works; in it, he expounds upon:

* the "great Mystery of all Beings" * "Sulphurean Death" * the "inward and outward Cure of Man" * the "Emnity of the Spirit and Body" * the "Generation of Good and Evil" * and more.

Radical and controversial in his day--he was constantly drawing the ire of the Church--Boehme was a profound influence on subsequent Europe thinkers including Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Jung, and this challenging work will intrigue anyone interested in the esoteric roots of current philosophy and theology.
