Boehme elaborated a rudimentary form of dialectic, consisting of positive and negative polar principles. These principles, he said, emerged out of the Godhead's originally undifferentiated non-being (das Nichts), also described as the primordial Abyss, or "Ungrund," and then developed through ordered stages of manifestation toward complete self-revelation. In a vivid, often dramatic style, Boehme portrayed the development from God's quiescent eternality toward his creation of, and active embodiment in, the physical universe:
In the non-natural, uncreaturely Godhead (Gottheit) there is nothing more than a single will, which is also called the one God, who wants nothing else except to find and grasp himself, to go out of himself, and by means of this outgoing to bring himself into visibility (Beschaulichkeit). This Beschaulichkeit is to be understood as comprising the three-fold character of the Godhead, as well as the mirror of his wisdom and the eye by which he sees.
