The way that can be told is not the final truth; but I read The Secret of the Golden Flower when I was young, back in the Seventies. I'm not good at meditating; I always get stuck in "the land of hungry ghosts," and my chattering monkey of a mind never shuts up. Maybe now that I'm older I'll take it up again.
The thing is, you can sense it even if you're not good at meditation. Focus on your breathing and on the thing that's always there, off to the side. You won't doubt after that that your body as well as your mind is connected to the eternal.
The book's still the best guide to meditation I've ever read.
