Jacob Boehme rejects the notion, promoted by oriental mysticism and medieval monkery, that God-consciousness can only be found at the end of a long, strenuous course of spiritual discipline. Illumination, says Boehme, is not a matter of attainment but realization. We do not need to climb Mount Enlightenment; we open our eyes and find that we are on the mountaintop, where we have always been. This volume includes The Suprasensual Life and the five companion tractates traditionally published under the title The Way to Christ. THE SUPRASENSUAL LIFE OF REGENERATION THE WAY FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT OF HEAVEN AND HELL OF TRUE SURRENDER OF TRUE REPENTANCE The Suprasensual Life is the greatest of Boehme's short writings, and hisclearest and most concise exposition of the way of salvation.
