Este presente grabado, atribuido a Marten de Vos (1532-1603), nos muestra que las virtudes conquistan los vicios.
This engraving entitled “The Power of Truth” shows us that it is shocking, raw and truthful, that it is fairness, equanimity, balance. Truth is the very core of our own IMMUTABLE AND OMNISCIENT BEING.
V.M. Kwen Khan Khu wants to share with us some reflections on four important and very enlightening alchemical engravings.
This engraving, produced by the illustrious Jakob Böhme (1575 and 1624), is a dialogue between a hungry soul, the devil, and an enlightened soul, directly to an addressee, Siegmund Johann von Schweinichen.
This engraving by the German philosopher Jacob Böhme (1575-1624), is an allusion to the work on ourself and to what we Gnostically call SECOND BIRTH or TO BE BORN AGAIN.
But what do we refer to when we speak of the STATE OF GRACE? Without a doubt, we are referring to the search for the salvation of our soul or the values that pertain to it, that is to be in a state of GRACE.
First of all, we must know that this illustration was the work of the great German mystic named Jacob Böhme. This engraving is the title page of a work by the aforementioned author and the publishers asked Jacob Böhme 177 theosophical questions, of which the author answered 15.
The engraving in question was made by Jacob Böhme (1575-1624) in one of his posthumous works. For many of the researchers this book is considered one of the most difficult of his writings.
Very dear friends:
It is with immense joy that I send you, friends, the present engraving entitled ”The three principles of divine manifestation”
I am sharing with you the message contained in this engraving, which is part of the frontispiece of the book entitled “All the Theosophical Writings of the Blessed and Enlightened Jacob Böhme”.
Very endearing readers:
I approach all of you to send you a Gnostic description of the present engraving that corresponds to a book called MISTERIUM MAGNUM and which refers to ”Jesus and Moses”
In this artistic work you can see a maiden – an Isis or priestess – doing her ablutions in front of the fire that burns in a cauldron and is connected to luminous rays that come from the heavens.
This engraving, “Hercules at the crossroads”, esoterically alludes to the decision that has to be made by every aspirant to become a SOLAR MAN, in other words, by every Bodhisattva who, having already raised his seven Serpents of Fire, must clearly decide between the Dry Path of the alchemist or the Humid Path of the transmutatory art.
When we talk about audacity, we are referring to a quality that not all people possess. It is a quality that a person either already brings from previous existences, or it can be, perhaps, an energy that a human creature has had to develop after having faced various circumstances in his life.
I am communicating with all of you on this occasion to write to you about a work by the great Italian artist called Raphael or Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino ─1483-1520─. The title of this work is ”The vision of a knight”
