Publisher's summary

This series of talks is on one of the most esoteric treatises in the world. It will show you the way to become more than the body and the way to bloom - how not to remain a seed but to become a golden flower. What, in India, they call the one thousand-petalled lotus, in China they call the golden flower. It is a symbol that represents perfection, totality. Moreover, the flower represents the actualization of the potential - the beauty, the grandeur, the splendor of being.

This treatise, The Secret of Secrets: The Secret of the Golden Flower, is very ancient, possibly one of the most ancient treatises in the world - at least 25 centuries old. But 25 centuries can be traced back very easily. And this treatise is also, uniquely, a great synthesis of all the great religions. The Bible belongs to the Christians, the Talmud belongs to the Jews, the Vedas belong to the Hindus, the Dhammapada to the Buddhists, the Tao Te Ching to the Taoists. But this small book, The Secret of Secrets: The Secret of the Golden Flower, belongs to no one in particular, or it belongs to all. It is heavily based on Taoist teachings, a flowering of the Taoist approach to life and existence. But it is not only that. Zarathustra has played a role; his teachings are incorporated within it. Buddhist teachings have also been integrated, and a certain esoteric school of Christians, the Nestorians, have played their part. It is one of the most synthetical approaches.

These 31 talks will introduce you to a world of consciousness, meditation, and a transformative space - it's a pure joy to listen to Osho.

Osho at his best...as always

This audiobook cannot be listened to without some sort of expansion within one's being taking place. Osho is not technical in his way of speaking and being, rather, he is poetic. His poetry is more effective at piercing your heart and flooding it with understanding than anything else I have encountered. This book in particular has lead me to some intense spiritual insights and I will forever be changed for the better. What a blessing it is to have such content available to us as a guide! Inundate yourself in this masterpiece...you will not regret it!

So much Wisdom.

Wisdom pours forth from OSHO again and again, and with over 50 hours for just once Credit? I’d give 10 credits and 10 stars if I could.

Greatest of all time

Osho is my favorite artists at his books and talks are soo dense and contain more in a few sentences than in what would take others pages to express. He simplifies life in such a way that soothes the soul and makes you sit back a laugh a little. I highly recommend to everyone. 100/10

Secrets Revealed

Powerful book! Love Osho and his lectures. I found this book to be extremely intense and very informative. He covers everything. However it was also very repetitive of some of his other work and at times could drag along. The lectures themselves had a redundancy to them and were very politically charged and biased. Like most spiritual leaders and activists, I found him to be have a great overall message but laden heavy with ego.

The Golden flower is opening

A beautiful and inspiring interpretation of one of the most mysterious Taoist texts: The Golden Flower.

Osho had a superb intelligence and unparalleled communication skills to reveal the intricacies and secrets of the Golden Flower to the western people.

This is #1 out of hundreds of spiritual audiobook

I have no idea how I found an interested in this book. I'd never heard of OSHO before.

I even thought I was a bit stupid to purchase something that was so random and probably worthless, and when I started listening to it first I thought doesn't this guy know there's no such thing as right and wrong, everybody has their path to the top of the mountain. There are 100,000,000 ways to the top of the mountain, and people evolve over thousands of lives.

I couldn't understand why he was being so critical and then after a few chapters I realized he was simply calling a spade a spade...

At this point I've read/listened this single book with the physical copy I purchased after the second time I read it four times. The purchase and red multiple of his other books on audio and physical copies.

This thing changed my life, I was very interested things like astrology and this just came cracking down on my head....
