The Problem Of Practical Mysticism: Jacob Boehme And The Two Wills That Enact The Cosmic Drama (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425307271)

The Problem of Practical Mysticism: Jacob Boehme and the Two Wills That Enact the Cosmic Drama is a book written by Howard H. Brinton. It explores the concept of practical mysticism and its relation to the works of Jacob Boehme, a German philosopher and mystic from the 17th century. Brinton examines the two opposing wills that Boehme believed were at play in the universe - the divine will and the will of nature - and how they interact to create the cosmic drama. The book delves into Boehme's ideas on the nature of God, the purpose of human existence, and the role of suffering in spiritual growth. Brinton also discusses the relevance of Boehme's teachings to modern-day spirituality and the challenges of practicing practical mysticism in a world dominated by materialism. Overall, The Problem of Practical Mysticism provides a comprehensive exploration of Jacob Boehme's philosophy and its implications for spiritual seekers today.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Mystic Will: Based Upon a Study of the Philosophy of Jacob Boehme, by Howard H.
