When in such sadness I earnestly elevated my spirit into God and locked my whole heart and mind along with all my thoughts and will therein, ceaselessly pressing in with God's Love and Mercy, and not to cease until he blessed me then after some hard storms my spirit broke through hell's gates into the inmost birth of the Godhead, and there I was embraced with Love as a bridegroom embraces his dear bride.
More Quotes from Jacob Boehme:
What kind of spiritual triumph it was I can neither write nor speak it can only be compared with that where life is born in the midst of death, and is like the resurrection of the dead.Jacob Boehme
You are at enmity with yourself.
Jacob Boehme
In this light my spirit suddenly saw through all, and in and by all creatures, even in herbs and grass it knew God, who he is, and how he is, and what his will is And suddenly in that light my will was set on by a mighty impulse, to describe the being of God.
Jacob Boehme
When thou standest still from thinking and willing of self, the eternal hearing, seeing, and speaking will be revealed to thee, and so God heareth and seeth through thee. Thine own hearing, willing, and seeing hindereth thee, that thou dost not see nor hear God.
Jacob Boehme
When thou art quiet and silent, then art thou as God was before nature and creature thou art that which God then wats thou art that whereof he made thy nature and creature Then thou hearest and seest even with that wherewith God himself saw and heard in thee, before every thine own willing or thine own seeing began.
