Description

The ancient Taoist text Secret of the Golden Flower has been a source of mystery ever since Wilhelm and Jung brought it to the West. Paul Fredric offers a fresh analysis of the text based on his life-long experience as a student of the esoteric and meditation practitioner. The Secret of the Golden Flower is revealed as an instruction manual for unlocking a primal force of intelligence and energy within us that can lead to a higher level of conscious existence. In addition to the first awakening everyone experiences every day, there can be a Second Awakening that introduces us to a new state of being. Referencing Esoteric Christianity, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, and Fourth Way ideas, we learn that it is a universal human process long ago lost to the West.
