Henrik Boemer

From doktorsleepless

1918 - 1976

Dutch art professor best known for his treatises on occultism and nihilism. Boehmer's most famous work is The Darkening Sky (The Fourth International Press 1966), which combines Nietzsche's doctrine of Eternal Recurrence with pre-human religious and occult traditions. Its main proposition is that time is an artificially constructed cage or prison wherein humanity is imprisoned by ancient, non-human beings of incredible power and scientific achievement. Boehmer's alleged suicide in 1976, while in police custody, followed a series of psychotic breaks which began with the publication of his final book, The European Lloigor (Weisen Books 1971). It is generally believed that the strain of nearly a decade of constant travel to the most hostile and remote regions of the globe while researching his last two books led to his precarious mental state.
