Required Reading: The Secret of the Golden Flower

Powerful reading “The secret of the Golden Flower” by Lü Dongbin I would consider required reading for anyone serious about personal evolution and raising your vibrational frequency.

The esoteric nature of Tao Buddhist texts often makes them seem out of reach for laypeople, or easily dismissed by skeptics. This is actually the point of the texts – they are not meant to be easily digested.  One must put forth some effort to attain the lesson, as the process of attaining and integrating the lesson is the process of elevating one’s frequency.

For those who would dismiss the reading because of conflicts with one’s different religion, keep in mind this philosophy does not require one to submit to a dogma.  In fact, the overreaching message of the lesson is the attainment of freedom for the soul.  This is the opposite of dogma.

There are some religious interpretations in other religions that require adherence to specific dogma and might consider the reading of this text to be undermining their dogma.  But the true path to spiritual connection is not adherence to man-made rules, whether government, religion, social or internal.  Freedom will provide you true enlightenment. 

Taoism is more a practice than a religion, and one that will allow one to expand awareness of all things.  A practice that can deepen one’s connection to their other chose religion, or serve on its own as a religious practice. 

In order to grow on an energetic level, one must free oneself from attachments, energetic entanglements and distractions. One must learn stillness.  One must not let dogma and attachment to man-made things and ideas hold them back.  Enlightenment is attained through the conscious integration of many sources. 

There are many paths to God – and God is love.  True love is found only through freedom.
