Event Description

Toronto Lodge cordially invites you to their members-only Teleconference and discussion on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, which is being presented by Regional Monitor Lester Hedgcock.

This article, “Aurora,” by Jacob Boehme and translated by Provincial Master Marion Owens can be found in the Rosicrucian Digest, No. 1, 2014.

Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin was so inspired by the writings of the mystic Jacob Boehme (1575-1624) that he learned German when he was forty years old so that he could read his “Second Master’s” original words. In the Rosicrucian Digest article, Provincial Master Marion Owens translates from Baroque German into English excerpts from Boehme’s description of his Spiritual Awakening, in his famous first work, Aurora.

From the first paragraph of the article:  "As my miserable soul lifted itself seriously up to God as in a thunder storm, with my heart and mind, including all thoughts and desires locked therein, and without stopping to wrestle, receiving God's love and mercy, and not giving up, God then illuminated me with the Holy Spirit. Thus, the Holy Spirit broke through within me. It was like a thunderstorm!"

Please join us as Regional Monitor Lester leads us in a discussion on Jacob Boehme’s “Aurora”.
