Deciphering the Golden Flower One Secret at a Time

Curiosity and circumstance often propel individuals beyond the confines of their upbringing, dumping them into unfamiliar, unexpected life situations. Thus was JJ Semple transported into a trial-and-error process of self-discovery, a path that took him from the East Coast Brahman establishment, to France, to a meeting with Gopi Krishna in India, and back to the USA. What he found along the way was Kundalini, the biological basis of both science and religion.

How does Kundalini come into an ordinary person's life? Is it foreordained like a priestly calling or is it a Karmic inevitability? Deciphering the Golden Flower One Secret at a Time describes the unlikely circumstances that foreshadowed, and ultimately shaped, JJ Semple's Kundalini experience!

Says the author, â€œBefore Kundalini, I had not found anything substantial in life â€” nothing to believe in, nothing to work for. I had no clue that a biological phenomenon like Kundalini existed or that I could arouse it through the practice of meditation.

â€œI wrote this book as a memoir because I wanted to document the difficulties a Westerner faces in getting to the starting point of the self-actualization process. I have Indian and Chinese friends who grew up with meditation and Yoga practices all around them. I had never heard of these practices until I was in my late-twenties. When I finally did, there was very little information extant. That was forty years ago, before the current proliferation of books and videos on spiritual themes. As for Kundalini, I didn't hear the term until after I had activated it and a force field of energy within my own body â€” previously unknown to me â€” swept over me.

â€œIn writing this book, I decided not to separate the journey from the destination. Yet, my choosing not to separate the journey from the destination has sparked a wholesale discussion. Some only want information on the method I used, effectively bypassing the frequently perilous, and often circuitous, route I took to get there, not to mention the years I dedicated to learning to live with this amazing biological subsystem. What a waste! â€” not to pass this knowledge on, especially when learning to live with Kundalini demands such a high degree of mindfulness and adaptability. Kundalini is an evolutionary breakthrough capable of modifying DNA in a single lifetime; every aspect of it needs to be documented. There are many methods for activating Kundalini. But there are few detailed accounts of successful arousals that highlight the before, during, and after of the process.

â€œDeciphering the Golden Flower One Secret at a Time is more than a discussion of biology, evolution, or mindfulness; it's a street level account of finding oneself in the modern world, the definitive tell-all journal of obstacles met and overcome on the path to activating Kundalini. I don't leave anything out: A childhood accident that robs me of my talents and memory, my battle with drugs and alcohol, my slow deterioration and eventual disequilibrium. The young girl in Paris who gave me a copy of The Secret of the Golden Flower which led to my discovery of Kundalini meditation â€” the energy cultivation technique â€” that actually overhauled certain aspects of my anatomy and metabolism, a wholesale biological retrofitting that opened up a consciousness of unlimited dimension. Deciphering the Golden Flower is a full-circle account of self-actualization, involving a lot of detective work on my body and my psyche."

JJ Semple shares his many years of first-hand practice with The Secret of the Golden Flowerâ€™s meditation method. Not even Richard Wilhelm, the translator, or Carl Gustav Jung, the famous psychologist, who wrote the original commentary to the sacred book, were able to plumb the depths of this method. Deciphering the Golden Flower is an extraordinary statement about the inevitability of karma and the quest for self-realization.
