Neues Projekt ALLES IN ALLEM

05/08/2022

New project ALL IN ALL. Some time ago I came across the German philosopher and mystic Jacob Böhme. For almost a year now I have been researching and dealing with the person Jacob Böhme, born in 1575 in Lower Silesian Stary Zawidów, Poland, died November 17, 1624 Görlitz.

Jacob Böhme captivates me. His world of ideas, the philosophical theories, his literature, especially the 1612 dawn (Aurora)

It is very difficult to describe here what drives me to understand Jacob Böhme and to develop a project from it. Which is also a highly complex matter for me. Of course, his approaches fall on very fertile ground for me, since I am a spiritual believer.

The creative process is a birth, a process of bringing something internal to the outside.

Böhme's thoughts are not always obvious in his writings, but are intertwined with his mystical, fantastic views, some of which are interspersed with alchemical speculations. Böhme, who never attended a university and had to acquire all his knowledge himself, did not have an exact academic language that operated with abstract concepts. With all the disadvantages that arise from this, the popular features emerged in his expressive and lifelike imagery, which brought him into unusually sharp contrast to the current school and book learning, which he himself expressed. This was also related to the fact that his personal goal was not only philosophical-theoretical, but also prophetic-practical.

Be curious, it's me too, what brings my inner being to the outside and what works will emerge. In any case, it is a large-scale project that will stretch out over the next few years. I am very excited about it. A real challenge.

All in all, a project by Steffen Diemer
