The Secret of the Golden Flower ~ A Synthesis ~ Inner Alchemy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 вер 2024
- This reading is a synthesis of the teachings found in the text, The Secret of the Golden Flower, translated by Thomas Cleary. According to Cleary, this text is a lay manual of Buddhist and Taoist methods for clarifying the mind. A distillation of the inner psycho-active elements in ancient spiritual classics, it describes a natural way to mental freedom practiced in China for many centuries. The golden flower symbolizes the quintessence of the paths of Buddhism and Taoism. Gold stands for light, the light of the mind itself; the flower represents the blossoming, or opening up, of the light of the mind. Thus the expression is emblematic of the basic awakening of the real self and its hidden potential.
The text was written by means of the spirit-writing (fuji) technique, through two groups, in 1688 and 1692. After publication of the translation by Richard Wilhelm, with commentary by Carl Gustav Jung, it became modernly popularized among Westerners as a Chinese "religious classic", and is read in psychological circles for analytical and transpersonal psychology considerations of Taoist meditations.

❤ I’m listening now you’re my life line
Mine too!!! ♥️💯🙏
Who’s on the other end?
It’s you!
Thank you so much dear Samaneri for this powerful recitation of very powerful pointings to “The Way Is In the Immediate Presence”. The Way to Water 💦 of Vitality, Fire 🔥 of Spirit & Earth 🌎 of Attention. 🙏🏻✨💫❤️
As always perfect timing. Inexpressible gratitude. 🌟🌟🌟 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Just what I needed, right when I needed it 🤓❤️
Omg thank you. I've read it but it's so beautiful like this
Just the light around..this is sublime truth...🎉 Thanks for sharing..
Surrounding you in Joy as you share such sublime messaging, Samaneri. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this and your beautiful talents, to read to us.
Waiting for the mind to stop is like waiting for the sea to stop breaking on the shore.
When you turn the light around to gaze inwards ".... Suddenly one forgets the gazing... You can't even find your own body".
Hibernating in the layer of energy"
When the mind is clean that is elixir, when the mind is empty that is medicine"
Read with heart❤ thank you so much for sharing these words❤🌟🙏
This is my first experience with these readings in The Golden Flower and I just wanted to thank you, because they are so wonderful! Feels tailored to what is needed right now. 🙏
Thank you so much for this reading.
I make incremental steps, and also may have glimpses of the gestalt.
The immediate clarity and emptiness is what I will be keeping in mind - and seeking to practice.
I hope you are well, and deeply appreciate your grasp of these readings and how you are sharing them.
🙏
Nice ❤ golden 🌼. 😊 time to be an alchemist.
Thank you
self-possessed is such a good explanation
From an egoic perspective its consired egoïstic, selfish and wrong. From a higher perspective there is nothing else, so self realised, fulfilled and in harmony. Like beautiful flowers that grow in manure, we might be born in negative, abusive environments but we can choose to transform it an become pious and beautiful from the inside..
There is no higher or lower, positive or negative. It’s all this
🤘🫶✌️
Thank you 🙏❤️
What a treat!!! 🌬❤️
This one seemed to show up exactly at the moment I was ready to hear it.
Thank you!
Thsnk you. 💐
Thnku u ...❤ani samaneri jaysara(1st comment!)
Such a brilliant book, the truth this holds is massive
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu This pointing seems like all that is needed. Again I listen to this without ears.
The first sentence is all you need
I’m so lucky I get to see God through my living guru Samaneri
Just perfect. All of it ❤
Great teaching and reading, Samaneri! Thank you! What does it mean that "The Way is before our eyes, yet what is before our eyes is HARD to understand"?
It's subtle. And way beyond the mind or intellect, and is not an experience.
😊 your question makes me smile cause it kinda proves the statement itself.
❤

I pray for the opportunities so to do
Does "the bright moon in the mid-sky" refer to consciousness/awareness/attention being fixed to the third eye/Ajna?
We got the night, to reflekd light.
as always 🙏
So what is the practice of turning the light around ? What are the practical steps to it ?
Tbc.....
Turning the light around is posted above this video in the video list on this channel not sure if you saw that it must have been created after you asked the question just thought I'd let you know I was just scrolling through the list of other videos this creator has
