The Book of Secrets is a contemporary mystic's commentary on Shiva's 5000 year old Vigyan Bhairav Tantra-literally translated, "techniques for going beyond consciousness".
As Osho says, in the first chapter:
"These sutras of Shiva are the oldest, most ancient techniques. But you can call them the latest also because nothing can be added to them. They have taken in all the possibilities, all the ways of cleaning the mind, transcending the mind. Not a single method could be added to Shiva's one hundred and twelve methods. It is the most ancient and the latest, yet the newest. Old like old hills-the methods seem eternal-and they are new like a dewdrop before the sun, because they are so fresh.
These one hundred and twelve methods of meditation constitute the whole science of transforming mind".
