Mimi M.: Delivered this evening and I’m already halfway through. Thankfully I’ve studied multiple other traditions as it relates to the integration of personality within the greater context of consciousness otherwise I’d be lost. However, given my foundational understanding already in place, I have had numerous “light bulb” moments on almost every page. If you’re familiar with the fundamentals of other ancient teachings, you will experience a familiarity with the body of work contained in these pages. For me, it fills in some gaps that I have not yet found in other traditions but I find it fascinating how each of those traditions has held their piece of a much greater (and older) body of wisdom. This little gem is a keeper that I will be consulting for years to come. Many thanks to all who helped bring this work together and for Carl Jung for writing so glowingly about how it helped him bring important insights together for his life’s work at the exact moment he needed it. I can see now what he meant!

Kindle Customer: ThIs is a book that will take multiple readings to assimilate. However, you will get something out each reading even if it is only on an intuitive level. As always, Carl Jung's commentary and insights are fascinating and will help the reader.

CruzinCruzin: Once you fully grasp and understand the level of concentration that it takes ,you will never again need to read anything else about the subject.
This takes takes a long time to accomplish and 💯 isolation is necessary or you will become a stranger in your own house ,don’t expect to achieve this and have a regular life.
Do not approach this if you can’t fully commit to the practice ,or you will lose your mind.
Respect it and don’t approach it with any outside influences or intentions ,move without moving.

Josh Shepherd: I'm big on western philosophy, but this book focuses on eastern philosophy of course. It was a difficult read the first time, but like any book the more you re-read it the better you understand the material.

Client Amazon: To understand this, one has to abandon usual way of seeing time as linear and consider it could be circular. He will then realize that what he suffered in his childhood can be the result of present or future actions. Knowing this theory about a different perspective of time and space is the reason why oriental philosophies underline acceptation and adaptation as important attitudes towards what happens in our lives. It doesn’t mean one has to submit to bad conditions, it means he shall find the source of the problems and work from there to clean it. It is then useless to blame others, it will only lead us far away from the solution that lies inside us. Dissipation is a dispersive process where our attention and energy is drained in a useless way, keeping us from the focal point where the source comes out in the dragons cave. The dragon is our sexual energy also called Kundalini or Ki by orientals, it sits in the genital area where it can be awakened and directed inside the body and up the chakras to enlighten he who evokes and master him.
Stopping the flow to the outside and redirecting it inside is the method used by those who seek to reconnect with the Tao. Appearances will...

R. Schwartz: A very interesting and meaningful book to say the least. And like Jung, gratitude must be given Richard Wilhelm for his insight in the East and translation of the text.

A manual written symbolically for the practice of meditation, where thoughts are reduced to the square inch between the eyes, the eye lids half closed, eyes centered near the tip of the nose, the heart rate next to nothing in quietude, controlled breath of a circular motion that becomes quiet. The "white light" so spoken in Buddhist terms and various states of consciousness are related. However, this is far more than a mere meditation manual, but symbols which convey non-intellectual ideas, that is, non-Western rationalism, and yet significant and advanced in both it's teaching and applications.

Ultimately for myself, it is Jung's commentary that my Western mind needed to interpret the text itself and the subsequent interpretations. I am moved in profundity on Jung's analysis that man's consciousness advances non-rationally, but psychically. Where the advancement cannot be spoken or written of in intellectual terms but rather can be done so in symbols. In this, Jung expounds on the idea that symbols...
