The Secret Of The Golden Flower - The Lost Method For Forming The Body That Survives Death

This is a cinematic deep dive on the most influential inner alchemy text ever transmitted from East to West — the small Chinese book that arrived on Carl Jung's desk in Zurich in October 1928 and confirmed, in seventeenth-century technical language, that the fifteen years of visions he had been having in secret were not the beginning of insanity but the same authentic transmission the Chinese had been quietly producing inside the consciousness of trained practitioners for six hundred years. I walk you through the entire chain. The mountain in central China where a seventy-four-year-old man perceives the flower behind his closed eyes for the first time after fifty-five years of daily practice. Richard Wilhelm's twenty years as a Lutheran missionary in Qingdao, gradually converted by the culture he had been sent to convert, initiated into the small Taoist inner circle in Beijing that transmitted the text westward. Jung's private crisis after the break with Freud, the descent into the collective unconscious he could not yet name, the mandalas his hand painted for fifteen years without a framework to interpret them. The six operations of the system — the reversal, the turning of the light, the circulation, the gathering, the formation of the holy embryo, the birth. The precise anatomical location the Chinese identified inside the head six hundred years before Western science recognized the pineal gland as a distinct organ. And the moment fourteen years after Jung's commentary was published when a heart attack sent him briefly beyond the physical, and he saw with his own awareness the exact form the Chinese text had been describing.
