Second Awakening: An Experiential Exegesis of the Secret of the Golden Flower

By Paul Fredric

The ancient Taoist text Secret of the Golden Flower, originally brought to the West by Richard Wilhelm and C.G. Jung, has mystified and inspired students of the esoteric for decades. Now, combining decades of personal study with a deep analysis of the text, Paul Fredric reveals the book as a manual for unlocking a primal force of intelligence and life known as "Kundalini" in the Vedic world. Combining his hands-on experience from decades of pursuing esoteric wisdom, he brings a new and insightful analysis to the text. The result is a clear and practical system of self-development that anyone can quickly implement to achieve the same result as the Ancient Taoist Masters. Some people experience a first awakening when they realize they have been asleep most of their lives. By implementing the techniques given in the text - daily meditation, watchfulness of breath, energy conservation, etc. - an individual can experience a Second Awakening from a state of relative consciousness to a state of self-consciousness. The literal activation of a primal force that has lied dormant within the individual, known variously as the Primal Spirit, Kundalini, the Daimon, the Fravashi, The Holy Guardian Angel, or the Silent Witness. Using additional knowledge from diverse sources such as Ancient Egypt, Zoroastrianism, Vedic, Esoteric Christianity, the Desert Fathers, and the Fourth Way, Paul Fredric demonstrates that ancient knowledge of Kundalini is universal and likely derived from a single source. The method was, however, mostly lost as the idea of personal responsibility was eroded by massive centralized religions. Now the method for achieving divinity is rightly returned to the individual.
