Dialogues on the Supersensual Life

The volume gathers a handful of Jacob Behmen’s later dialogues, rendered in a gentle, modern English that keeps the original’s subtlety while opening the path for today’s ear. These conversations explore the supersensual life, a realm beyond ordinary perception where the soul seeks true illumination. Listeners will hear a blend of theological depth and poetic wonder, guided by a translator who expands Behmen’s thought without losing its mystic core.

Behmen’s story begins in a modest Black‑forest village, where a chance encounter with a stranger plants the seed of a lifelong pilgrimage toward divine insight. As a young apprentice he endures dismissal, poverty, and inner doubt, yet clings to Scripture and the promise of a transformative inner light. The dialogues echo that early yearning, inviting the audience to follow a gentle ascent from darkness toward a radiant, inner awakening.
