The purpose of celibacy mentioned in the book is to create an immortal aspect of an individuals soul that could travel beyond death by preserving the creative energy.
But it would take many years from what I remember reading--talk about dedication. That book keeps coming across my path. It's not a very long book, translate well. Who really knows. Im just sharing what I read.
Shri Mataji Nirmala founder of Sahaja Yoga does not mention these texts but does mention brahmacharya. John Van Auken who has spent decades at Edgar Cayces A.R.E. mentions it here , and in the end of a book called Pyramid of Fire: The Lost Aztec Codex in which a traveler is bestowed secrets of the Mexican god Quetzalcoatl describes how self-sacrifice of a humans Earthly desires is what is needed to be illuminated by the Sun lord Tonatiuh. To shed the false being of the ego. This book mention the Secret of the Golden Flower.

It all sounds very...lame. But then again, it is all just my preference of what reality is.
who knows?
I have been reading your posts. I would like to share the one teaching from Buddha that I love the most "na kvacit pratiṣṭhitaṃ cittam utpādayitavyam" which roughly translates to "any mind (citta)that is fixed should not be raised." or my own translation: "Grow your heart (compassion) through removal of fixations".
As for the secret of the Golden Flower, like most of Taoism scriptures, it's just another iteration of Tao Te Ching. Tao Te Ching will benefit people way more than any other Taoism scripture in my opinion.
I thought it was curious how the Tao Te Ching is divided in to 81 chapters/sections. I didn't mention it in my other topics because the point isn't numerology it's to visualize densities like they're checkerboards stacked on each other but climbing up. 81 being 9th density [9x9] 81 octave
I'll mention the 10 masters in no order:
Lao tzu is mentioned as one of the 10 Primordial spiritual masters, and as the author of Tao Te Ching
Confucius taught I Ching
Zoroaster introduced fire divination [pyromancy]
Moses introduced hydromancy [bent the Red Sea] and founded Jewish law
Want to frustrate a Christian and show them a backwards contradiction in the Bible?
If the serpent is the devil why did Moses erect an idol to one in the shape of Caduceus and burn incense to it for good fortune?

Abraham is father of the 12 tribes of Israel
Guru Nanak founded Sikhism, incarnating to put a halt to the Islamic invasion of India
Socrates founded Greek philosophy, inventing democracy as we know it
Shirdi Sai Baba, Islamic astrologer who prophesied the birth of Shri mataji. I remember I showed her birth chart to an astrologer and they said 'Well you can see just from looking at it that she has a very balanced and diplomatic personality. I bet she passed away in her home"
I showed the chart to that person without saying a word about who it was, and it was odd to me. She married the Indian diplomat to Britain. She passed away in her home in Italy in 2011 one year before 2012.
Raja Janaka...eh I wish even I knew what the lore around him was. Some Hindu king. There's stuff on google but it's like there's only so much translated in to English from the history written in ancient Indian texts
Muhammad founder of Islam. Which may annoy some, but consider the 7 day journey between mecca and medina and the true meaning of Lataif-e-sitta is kundalini https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lataif-e-sitta
There's dispute over the meaning, but I'll give you a bit of context. Ruh is mentioned in Lataif-e-sitta often in Shri Mataji's talks. It is the cool breeze on the palms when a person clears their negativity completely. I've felt it before and I think the most I ever felt it was when I was holding a piece of very clear terminated quartz with green tourmaline inclusions.
Lataif-e-sitta is the Persian and Middle Eastern kundalini.
Theres videos on youtube of Shri Mataji visiting the Sufi mausoleum/shrine of Nizamuddin in India. They are the sect that would be most likely to know of the secrets of lataif-e-sitta.
