Sinopsis

The Treasured Guide to Spiritual Growth and EnlightenmentThe 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 Lü Dongbin, a legendary scholar, poet, and spiritual master. This remarkable and important work, first published in the United States in 1931, is Cary F. BaynesâÇÖs elegant English translation of sinologist Richard WilhelmâÇÖs 1929 German translation of the original Taoist texts. This edition includes insightful philosophical commentary by psychologist Carl Jung which helps explain the metaphysical aspects of the text, providing valuable insights for westerners.In the text, symbols for light represented awareness, which is normally directed outward toward externals. The method of redirecting oneâÇÖs consciousness inward towards the self through a straightforward form of silent meditation and breathing was known as 'turning the light around.' Through this process of channeling energy beyond the limits of the discriminating intellect, oneâÇÖs psyche-indeed, oneâÇÖs fundamental being-can gradually open and blossom into an awakening of the mind and spirit. The result can be metaphorically pictured as a bright 'golden flower' mandala, representing the rewarding end goal of a personal alchemy of inner transformation. The simple method described has been called 'Zen with details.'áLike a practical workbook for achieving enlightenment, this clearly written meditation manual explores foundational techniques to experience elevated states of consciousness. It is nothing less than a spiritual seekerâÇÖs road map to discovering the secret to peace of mind.áThis book is also available from Churchill & Dunn in hardcover (ISBN 1648374077).
