The Secret of the Golden Flower
Chinese Alchemy
The whirlpool of its magic at one point became madness for the alchemists who tried to decipher its secret language of symbols and signs, and for the ones who managed to just bath in the beauty of its images, it stayed full of blessings. The desire to knock on the door that promises eternal life and eternal youth returns through centuries to haunt the alchemists with their quest to know the lapis philosophorum, the philosopher's stone - the legendary alchemical substance capable of turning base metals into gold.
Chinese Alchemy, Secret of Golden Flower - Merge of Male and Female Energy
It is
the merge of male
and female that fascinates us so much, it is the White Queen and
the Black King that
unite to give a birth to a child that is perfect
and immortal.
It is Taoist Yin and Yang that when
circling in perfect harmony create balance
and harmony within a Human Being, on Earth and in Universe.It is Male that is our Collective Consciousness, that is Sun, Reason, Science, Law & Order.
It is Feminine that is symbolised by Moon, or Earth, that is the Ocean of our Collective Sub-Conscious, it is our Dream Consciousness, our shadow existence, trance, dragon and the snake, siren and medusa, that is Life that creates and destroys itself.
Chinese Alchemy Symbols, The Mind as an unusual son of Chaos
Mind is symbolised by Mercury, and when Master of its Destiny, his spirit is a hermaphrodite that stands on both: the Sun and the Moon.
Extracts from the Secret of the Golden Flower
It is said
that Lao Tzu became one of the Eight Immortals using
the methods within this book. The ideas have been traced back to Persia and
Zarathustra and the Egyptian Hermetic tradition.'Master Lao-Tsu said: That which exists through itself is called the Way (Tao). Tao has neither name nor shape. It is the one essence [Hsing], the one primal spirit. Essence and life cannot be seen...
The Golden Flower is the Light. What colour has the light? One uses the Golden Flower as an image. It is the true power of the transcendent Great One...'
About Gold from the Secret of the Golden Flower
'The power of the seed, like Heaven and Earth, is subject to mortality, but the primordial spirit is beyond the polar differences. Here is the place whence Heaven and Earth derive their being. When students understand how to grasp the primordial spirit, they overcome the polar opposites of Light and Darkness and tarry no longer in the three worlds.'
About Duality from the Secret Of The Golden Flower
'In the body is the anima. The anima, having produced consciousness, adheres to it. Consciousness depends for its origin on the anima. The anima is feminine, the substance of consciousness. As long as this consciousness is not interrupted, it continues to beget from generation to generation, and the changes of form of the anima and the transformations of substance are unceasing. But, besides this, there is the animus in which the spirit shelters. The animus lives in the daytime in the eyes; at night it houses in the liver. When living in the eyes, it sees; when housing itself in the liver, it dreams.'
About Consciousness from the Secret Of The Golden Flower
'The one effective, true essence (logos united with life), when it descends into the house of the creative, divides into animus and anima. The animus is in the Heavenly Heart (Mind*). It is of the nature of light; it is the power of lightness and purity. It is that which we have received from the great emptiness, that which has form from the very beginning. The anima partakes of the nature of darkness. It is the power of the heavy and the turbid; it is bound to the bodily, fleshly heart. The animus loves life. The anima seeks death.'
About Anima and Animus from the Secret Of The Golden Flower
Chinese Symbol for Heart and Mind is the same
The core Chinese concept is Xin that means both Heart and Mind. This
insightful fact shines a wonderful light on any Chinese ancient text and philosophy.
The Mind that represents ideas, cognition, and reason, and Heart that
represents desires, and emotions, are coming from the same centre and are
directed by the same forces. The Xin guides both beliefs and desires.
It is the Heart, rather than the brain that is responsible for the belief
systems. The Heart is the centre of emotions and desires, or tranquillity
and calmness, but also of intellect
and understanding.'Understanding and clarity, knowing and enlightenment, and all motion (of the spirit), are likewise this Light; therefore it is not just something outside the body. The Light-flower of Heaven and earth fills all thousand spaces.'
About Light from the Secret Of The Golden Flower
'The heart / mind* cannot be influenced directly. Therefore the breathing power is used as a handle...
While sitting, one must, therefore, always keep the heart (mind) quiet and the power concentrated. How can the heart (mind) be made quiet? By breathing. The heart (mind) alone must be conscious of the flowing in and out of the breath; it must not be heard with the ears. If it is not heard, then the breathing is light; if light, it is pure. If it can be heard, then the breathing power is heavy; if heavy, then it is troubled; if it is troubled, then laziness and absent-mindedness develop and one wants to sleep...'
About Breathing Exercises from the Secret Of
The Golden Flower
'If, when there is quiet, the spirit has continuously and uninterruptedly a sense of great gaiety as if intoxicated or freshly bathed, it is a sign that the Light principle in the whole body is harmonious; then the Golden Flower begins to bud. When, furthermore, all openings are quiet, and the silver moon stands in the middle of Heaven, and one has the feeling that the great earth is a world of light and brilliancy, that is a sign that the body of the heart (mind) opens itself to clarity. It is a sign that the Golden Flower is opening...'
About Meditation from the Secret Of The
Golden Flower
About non-action in action from the Secret Of The Golden Flower
'As soon
as these two
substances meet each other, they unite
inseparably, and unceasing life begins; it comes and goes, and rises
and falls of itself, in the house of primordial power. One is aware of
effulgence and infinity. The whole body feels lighter and would like to fly.
This is the state of which it is said: Clouds fill the thousand mountains.
Gradually it (life) goes here and there quite quietly; it rises and falls
imperceptibly. The pulse stands still and breathing stops. This is the moment of
true creative unity, the state of which it is said: The moon gathers up the ten
thousand waters. In the midst of this darkness, the Heavenly
Heart suddenly begins a movement. This is the return of the one Light, the time
when the child comes to life.'
