S1.Ep 22. The Secret of the Golden Flower 1 - a podcast by Alan Mulhern

The history, metaphysics, and spirtual position of this ancient Taoist text is described. It has an ancient Chinese style which is inherently mysterious, symbolic, and elusive yet it has within its pages a secret of spirtual transformation that is inherently facinating and has stood the test of time.

The Tao (the Way) is that which exists through itself; it is the one essence; there is nothing above it; it is the one primal spirit.

Essence and life cannot be seen but are contained in the light of heaven. This light is the Golden Flower, the true energy of the transcendent one which, if attained, brings life, if lost brings death. One may live in the energy and light but not see it as fish live in water but see it not.

        "Silently thou fliest upward in the morning".
