The Mystery of the Golden Flower: Sacred Sexuality and Liberation from Suffering

Good Introduction to Ideas Surrounding Sexual Transmutation
This is a rare and extremely illuminating peek into the world of sexual transmutation. The only issue is the excessive amount of complex jargon utilized to explain concepts that could be broken down much more simply. However, this hardly detracts from the sheer value of the knowledge presented here. Before even finishing the book, I had already been able to utilize the concepts outlined to successfully eliminate one of my pluralized egos that had been bothering me for years. Thank you, Divine Mother! She truly wields her lance with a ferocity unparalleled.

Unreadable and Impractical
I bought this book based on Ryan Kouroukis' review (currently the one below this one). Since he puts this book alongside Marnia Robinson's book "Cupid's Poisoned Arrow: From Habit to Harmony in Sexual Relationships," I was expecting something like her straightforward and practical book on Karezza.Unfortunately, Samael Aun Weor's "The Mystery of the Golden Blossom" is nothing like what I expected.I consider Aamael Aun Weor's style and content unreadable. Possibly he copied the manner of occult books of the time. Here are the first four paragraphs from Chapter 17, entitled "Astral Projection:" "We have much to tell in regards to projections of the Eidolon and suprasensitive travels out of the physical body." "In the moments that I write these pages, extraordinary and marvelous events come into my memory." "Reviewing old chronicles of my lengthy existence, with the tenacity of a monk in his cell, Eliphas Levi comes to mind." "One night, out of the dense form, I went everywhere invoking the soul of that departed one who in life was called Abbot Alphonse Louis Constant (Eliphas Levi."The chapter then proceeds to describe Samual Aun Weor's magical meeting with the long-deceased occult author and magician, Eliphas Levi.I consider this a lot of high-falutin mumbo-jumbo.Whatever scraps of information about sex and spirituality this book contains are surrounded by mountains of useless occult pedantry, fantastic tales of the author's own experiences, outdated moralizing, and claims by the author which are difficult to credit.I have been studying spirituality, particularly Eastern thought, for over 40 years. This is my first look at a Gnostic source, and I am not at all impressed.P.S. (7/5/18)In my review, I mentioned I had not been impressed by the few Gnostic-related works I had run across.However, I am currently taking Jessica Dibb’s online course “The Living Enneagram” and the Enneagram, which has a complex history dating back to ancient Egypt, is related to Gnosticism. Her course is utterly direct, practical, heart-oriented, and of seemingly endless depth.

Divine Love: Sexuality and the Magic of the Soul
Alongside “The Perfect Matrimony,” this book details the path of tantrism practiced in the mystical schools of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Gnosticism. Samael Aun Weor provides scriptural and personal anecdotes for how to work in tantra, a perfect matrimony, for the development of one’s psychological and spiritual potential. Dispersed within this text are commentaries of scriptural writings to help prepare students for conserving and sublimating creative energy for the awakening and perfection of one’s consciousness. As the author demonstrates, love is the highest yoga or religion (terms that both signify reunification with divinity) for by transforming the sexual act, affection, tenderness, and the love of the spirit can blossom within the couple. A great companion to “The Perfect Matrimony,” this work compliments the former text by offering ample instruction on the nature of psychology and sexuality to prepare students for entering into tantra: the sexual path of divine love.

A Must Have for Aspiring Souls
The Mystery of the Golden Blossom is one of Samael Aun Weor's deepest works. It is one I have found myself turning back to time and time again to feed spiritual inspiration. One of the very, very few books available that actually teaches pure and legitimate White Tantra, this is a must have for those seeking authentic divine wisdom.Included throughout the work are descriptions and practices for White Tantra (Sexual Magic), meditation, yoga, exercises to awaken chakras, Astral Projection, and recollections from the direct experiences of the author.I strongly recommend this work for persons yearning to know the tools for acquiring their own direct experience of the Divine.

One of the most profoundly spiritual books I have ever read
There is honestly not much I can say about this, it is such a deeply extreme book, Samael Aun Weor reveals much about his life and his ultimate revelation. The grand Gnostic teaching of Kundalini and the spiritual element of sex. Not for the squemish or weak minded, this holds no bars, and tries its utmost best, to awaken you to an enlightened perspective.

Beautiful and Enlightening
I read this after Samael's book perfect matrimony, the yellow book, and a few others. It furthered my understanding and gives even more tools and techniques for practice. Each of his books truly expands further you gain in depth knowledge. This is a true fantastic book on kundalini, the divine mother within each of us and how to properly use our sexual energies so we grow to become a true human being and not that of an animal in human flothing. I also recommend going to gnosticteachings. org in order to learn more, as well as they offer in depth courses for free to read as well as to listen to. There are so many things from runes, tarot, Christianity of the Egyptians, Buddhism, and many others!

This book is essential, absolutely not to be missed, for knowledge in sacred sexuality. It explains not only the methods of tantra, but the path surrounding it, through Vajrayana and Zen buddhism, astral projection, pitfalls the author has witnessed throughout his life, sacred rituals that can be performed by anyone, and the knowledge of destroying the ego, through which we can experience true happiness and liberation. This book is truly essential for mankind!
