"The Inward Journey: Jacob Boehme and the Mystic Will (#2 of 9)" • Howard Thurman

"The Inward Journey: Jacob Boehme and the Mystic Will (#2 of 9)" Recorded on October 8, 1961 The theology of Howard Thurman (1899-1981) is at the vital root of the mid-20th century American civil rights movement and its employment of non-violent protest. Thurman was a Christian mystic and studied the mystic tradition deeply. His focus on non-violence was formed through the time he spent in India with Mohandas Gandhi. And it was Thurman who taught and guided Martin Luther King, Jr. Thurman also founded the first interracial and interfaith church in America (the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples, in SF). * Jacob Boehme (1575-1624) was a 17th century shoemaker until a revelatory experience with light reflecting in a pewter dish set him on a unique and influential path of Christian mysticism. Boehme's theology provided a foundation for early American religious refugees, including the Quakers, the Ephrata, the Harmony Society, and many others--not to mention the philosophy of Hegel and the German Romantics. While Boehme found a means of expressing his visionary will through the richly symbolic language of spiritual alchemy. SOURCE: http://archives.bu.edu/web/howard-thu...
