"Mysterium vitae", sixth Cahiers mystiques

The collection "les cahiers mystiques" presents us,  in this sixth booklet, two fragments of Jacob Böhme. The mystic is a being "who goes further, sees higher, goes beyond" (H. Bergson) and in his search, "strives to unite himself with what is divine in him with what 'is divine in everything. '(Plotinus). These two quotations introduce us into an unreliable world, difficult to access but which prefigures the humanity of the eternal-temporal future. The engraving, thanks to the intense tones of the velvety blacks, symbolizes the mystery of light. The progression of the mystic is conditioned by a regression (paradox of the Gospel: who loses his life finds it); it is the darkness that enriches the light. The primordial egg, in its central composition, is more powerful.
