The work of Robert Fludd was written in
Latin and very little of it is available in English. Although there are some
writers who have written about Fludd and have quoted him, these are not the
work of Fludd himself but often commentary on Fludd with a few quotes thrown
in. This happens very often because although someone may be able to read the
words, they often, due to lack of experience, do not understand the subject
matter and comment from their own suppositions. Reading the originals is
always most valuable. We will do what we can to bring as much of the work of
Robert Fludd to you or at least connect you to it in due time.
Robert Fludd
published several books in his day which included beautiful pictorial
illustrations of accurately conceived spiritual concepts that are clearly
part of Christianity but are never discussed within Christian religions. These
drawings expressed in pictorial form the details of universal mysticism from
the Western and Christian point of view. Because what is generally available
of his depictions are second, third and forth generation copies, they have
lost some of their detail. We have tried to redraw and translate some of
these very informative charts that Robert Fludd had published in the 16th
century. This is sometimes difficult because some of the words are faded
beyond legibility. Even though there is a lot to be said about the old world
hand etched work of the originals, in redrawing these works they benefit
from the clarity afforded by modern computer graphics. We will modify our
redrawn representations of Fludd's work should we discover that the same
words can be better translated or, if in relation to Fludd's other works
another meaning was intended.
What is the most astounding in the pictorial works of Robert Fludd is how
clearly they express spiritual concepts that otherwise defy description. The
drawings are worth meditating over because the old adage "a picture is
worth a thousand words" is definitely apropos to these magnificent
renditions of spiritual order.
We feel the work or Robert Fludd to be extremely relevant to our times
for those who are seeking after the reality of Divinity because a) it is Christian, b) it places Christianity in
context with mysticism, c) it is completely in accord with the Bible
(or what is left of it), the work of Franz Bardon and Jakob Lorber,
Paracelsus and Karl von Eckartshausen
d) it is a very clear and descriptive illustration of universal Kabbalistic
order and its relation to Christianity, life and existence.
