Jakob Boehme Jakob Boehme (1575-1624) is a German religious mystic, located in the town of Silesian Goerlitz (Poland, Zgorzelec), on the other side of the eastern part of Germany, on the Polish side of the Oder River. As a professional shoe store he is a self-study influenced by the traditions of Paracelsus, Kabbalah, astrology, alchemy and seal (Peuckert, 1924 101, Merkel 302-310, Hvolbel 6-17). In 1600 he experienced an innovative religious epiphany when the sun reflected into an incandescent dish and put him in a vision of God's ecstatic. Absence absent.
When I came back from Europe, after I read it I began to read the German mysterious Jacob Bohm's work, fascinated by two or three pages of him. This simple, uneducated shoe store has a god experience that affects millions of people. I may be wrong but I am increasingly convinced that simple people like Baume have a pure instinct and that it is easy to grasp the master's deep spiritual truth . Educated people, especially those I met in the West, will control their original instincts and replace it with some sort of artificial rationalism. Here is why the master called a simple fisherman as his disciple.
In autumn, the two poets traveled to the European Continent together. Coleridge spent most of his time studying the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, Jacob Bohm, G. E. Lessing in Germany. So he acquired German and started translating. When he returned to England in 1800, he settled in Keswick with family and friends. For the next 20 years, Coleridge taught literature and philosophy, wrote articles on religion and political theory, served as a governor secretary for two years in Malta, and tried to overcome the poor health of his health. His opium is addictive and lives in economic donations and subsidies. He was still addicted to opium and moved in 1816 with a doctor James Gilman. In 1817 he published Biographia Literaria which included his best literary criticism. He continues to publish verses and prose, especially the sibilin leaves (1817), aid for reflex (1825), church and state (1830). He died in London on 25th July 1834.
