The Secret of the Golden Flower is an ancient Chinese text, passed on for centuries, in which Taoist mystics reveal the path to true enlightenment. The first written version was believed to have originated with LĂź Dongbin, a legendary scholar, poet, and spiritual master. LĂź Dongbin was the founder of the School of the Golden Elixir of Life during the Tang dynasty. In the text, symbols for light represented awareness, which is normally directed outward toward externals.
The method of redirecting oneâs consciousness inward towards the self through a straightforward form of silent meditation and breathing was known as âturning the light aroundâ. Through this process of channeling energy beyond the limits of the discriminating intellect, oneâs psyche can gradually open and bloom. This leads to a pure awakening of the mind and spirit.
The result can be metaphorically pictured as a bright âgolden flowerâ mandala, representing the rewarding end goal of a personal alchemy of inner transformation. This remarkable and important work, first published in the United States in 1931, is Cary F. Baynesâ elegant English translation of sinologist Richard Wilhelmâs 1929 German translation of the original Taoist texts. It is nothing less than a spiritual seekerâs road map to discover the secret to peace of mind. The simple method described has been called âZen with detailsâ.
It includes insightful philosophical commentary by psychologist Carl Jung that helps explain the metaphysical aspects of the text, providing valuable insights for Westerners. For many generations, The Secret of the Golden Flower has been an invaluable tool and guide for personal and spiritual growth. This clearly written meditation manual explores foundational techniques to help you experience elevated states of consciousness; repeat listening will serve as an incomparable source of insight and inspiration."
