The Golden Flower is the Elixir of Life
(literally, golden ball, golden pill). All changes of spiritual
consciousness depend upon the Heart. Here is a secret charm, which, although it works very
accurately, is yet so fluent that it needs extreme intelligence and clarity, and complete absorption and
calm. People without this highest degree of intelligence and understanding do not find the way to apply
the charm; People without this utmost capacity for concentration and calm cannot keep fast hold of it.
Fixating contemplation is indispensable, it ensures the strengthening of illumination. Only one must not
stay sitting rigidly if worldly thoughts come up, but one must examine where the thought is, where it
began, and where it fades out. Nothing is gained by pushing reflection further, One must be content to
see where the thought arose, and not seek beyond the point of origin; for to find the heart
(consciousness), to get behind consciousness with consciousness - that cannot be done. We want to
bring the status of the heart together in rest – that is true contemplation. What contradicts it is false
contemplation. This leads to no goal. When the flight of thoughts keeps extending farther, one should
stop and begin contemplating. Let one contemplate and then start concentrating again. That is the
double method of strengthening the illumination. It means the circular course of the light. The circular
course is fixation. The Light is contemplation. Fixation without contemplation is circulation without
Light. Contemplation without fixation is Light without circulation.
