Product Information

Following this is an exploration of the ideas of Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin’s “second Master,” Jacob Boehme, with special focus on how Boehme shaped Saint-Martin’s notion of the “Way of the Heart.”

Without doubt this will upset a few readers who wish to believe that Martinism starts and ends with the writings of LCM himself. But Martinism is clearly so much more than Luis Claude de Saint Martin. I recommend you read “ Wisdom’s Children” by Arthur Versluis for gaining insight into the full spectrum of Theosophy and how closely aligned this is to Rosicrucianism. Here, Adam is seen as universal being, an over-soul champion of the universe. His “fall” was not like that described in the Bible but was a cosmic event. His breaking was the true cosmic catastrophe, the many parts of the broken giant over-soul becoming the wayward souls of the human race. Saint Martin depended on these ideas and various Kabbalistic lineages observe them very carefully, utilizing advanced formula of interpretation. Finally, Sister Josselyne Chourry-Benvelica takes a broader perspective by exploring the unseen astral and spiritual influences on our existence. She writes that she does this so that, one day, we can have access through the “Way of the Heart” to the “Central Initiation.”

So did his master Boehme. For both, the mystical letters of YHShVH are important for mysticism. LCM refers to Christ as “the Repairer,” a title given as the main catalyst to Reintegration. The Martinist Christ though is not that of religious Christianity. In the realm of Martinism we find an esoteric reinterpreted Christ, just as Pasqually saw the Adam of Eden projected into a super Primordial Deity, which was split apart by a mystical fall from grace. a History of Masonic collections in Russia" ).

The ORC scale of the rituals, has however been reformed, to first purge them of most of the Masonic style, and has incorporated more Christian elements, and older teachings, more specifically from the original doctrine of St Martin, and the Russian legacy he left behind him.

Other groups of Martinist point out that Saint Martin not only read the works of Jacob Boehme but had translated Boehme into French for the first time. Furthermore, other groups refer to his first initiator, who had initiated him into an underground Elect Magical Priesthood, thereby placing more emphasis on the very path that brought LCM to his realizations. All these groups have their own spin when describing the “original way.”
