'It is not to be thought that the life of darkness is sunk in
misery and lost as if in sorrow. There is no sorrowing. For
sorrowing is a thing swallowed up in death, and death and dying are
the very life of the darkness.' Jacob Boehme's mystical pantheism
and dialectical conception of God - in which good and evil are
rooted in one and the same being - soon brought him into conflict
with Lutheran orthodoxy. It is in 'The Signature of all Things'
(Signatura Rerum) that the tenets of Boehme's theosophy are related
in their greatest detail. Casting the reader into the vortex of his
cosmological universe, Boehme's endeavour to express a new sense of
the human, divine and natural realms attains its apotheosis in his
conception of the Ungrund, the uncertainty that precedes the divine
will's arousing itself to self-awareness. Challenging and rewarding
in equal measure, this is a profound text, deeply influential upon
devotional writers such as William Law, visionaries such as William
Blake (informing The Marriage of Heaven and Hell) and, more
recently, upon cultural production as diverse as the psychology of
Carl Jung and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.
