Traditions of Mysticism: Jacob Boehme
The famous European mystic Jacob Boehme spoke of the unity with
God in terms of the mystic 'sun of night.' This paradoxical phrase
exemplified-- in terms intelligible to people of his day-- a way of
talking about the unspeakable: the ultimate mystery of Godhead.
The Zen Buddhists are well known for paradoxical approaches to
metaphysical questions. Paradox is never valued in itself, but is
used to gear the spiritual aspirant from clinging to verbal expressions.
Words are viewed as not so important as the inner peace of
contemplation.
