Temptation

Temptation is a book written by Jacob Boehme, a German philosopher and mystic who lived in the early 17th century. The book explores the concept of temptation, which Boehme defines as the inner struggle between good and evil that every human being experiences. He argues that temptation is not something to be feared or avoided, but rather a necessary part of the spiritual journey towards enlightenment.Boehme draws on his own experiences and insights to offer a unique perspective on temptation and how to overcome it. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and self-discipline in resisting temptation, and offers practical advice for cultivating these qualities.Throughout the book, Boehme also delves into the nature of evil and the role it plays in the world. He argues that evil is not an external force, but rather a manifestation of our own inner darkness. By confronting and overcoming this darkness, we can ultimately transcend temptation and achieve spiritual liberation.Temptation is a profound and thought-provoking work that offers valuable insights into the human condition and the nature of spiritual growth. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, mysticism, or personal development.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Concerning the Three Principles of the Divine Essence Part 1, by Jacob Boehme.
