Summary

Karl von Eckartshausen: Cloud over the Sanctuary

Except as the author of Clouds over the Sanctuary, Eckartshausen is known only among English Christian Transcendentalists. In Germany, most of them seem to have been forgotten, even in the special sciences, where one would expect some of them to appear. I believe that the "Cloud over the Sanctuary" has always remained in the memory of a few and that it is destined to continue to exist, because it conveys a message of very deep importance for all those who seek under the body of religious doctrine, that one life principle that energizes the entire organism. Perhaps the most interesting thing I could say about Eckartshausen at the outset is that he was associated with a group of Theosophists among whom Lavater was an important figure, of whom Baron Kirchberger kept careful and interesting notes, with whom Louis Claude of Saint-Martin corresponded and was a certain source of guidance. In his letter to Saint-Martin, Kirchberger writes that Eckartshausen, with whom he was in lively communication, was an extremely well-read and wonderfully prolific man; he considered him an exceptional person in everything, "on every path that providence would lead him". It seems that during this period, i.e. 1795, Eckartshausen sought and received Light for his path in the mystical study of numbers, but in his correspondence he used both masked and guarded language, while receiving a much more direct grace. For his part, Saint-Martin admits that Eckartshausen interested him much more than he could express.
