conversations.value: American Book of the Dead
  I am not sure that it is possible to define what kind of a teacher Mr. Gold is without saying some interesting things in the process. So I have welcomed the opportunity to write this preface. Yet I welcome it especially in view of the high regard and admiration that I have had occasion to develop toward Mr. Gold through my years of acquaintance with his many activities.
  I hesitated between writing "his activity" or using the plural (as I finally did)—for I see him as always and above all a teacher, but lately his paintings have attracted public attention, and at other times he has been a writer, a musician, a puppet master, a fasting fakir on public display, and an art dealer.
  E.J.—as Mr. Gold is called by his intimates—has only been available to the limited number of students in a "low profile" spiritual community that more appears to be a series of business ventures than a monastery. Indeed, it is not open to seekers who are looking for themselves, but only to people who are ready to serve.
  Just as the apprentices to Rembrandt or Verrochio learned by helping their masters, there are some who helping E.J. do "his" work, find at the same time meaningful lives and the stimulus of his influence.

conversations.value: If you are curious about how the macrodimensions appear to change and produce phenomena, it's very simple: think of a rubber ball. On the first bounce, it has a lot of energy, so it bounces high. On the second bounce, it bounces lower. On the next bounce, even lower, with less energy, and so on.
  At the moment of death, the voyager has most energy, so it bounces all the way "up" into the Clear Light and, depending on the amount of energy released at the moment of death, is able to remain in the Clear Light for longer or lesser periods. You are bouncing around in a spectrum of light which appears different in color and form on each perceptual level. If the labyrinth voyager has separated with a great deal of energy (not fear, anger or panic, however—wrong type of energy—I mean nervous energy) then it bounces all the way up to the top of the Clear Light spectrum.
  On the next bounce, the voyager is unable to reach as high, this time extending only into the domain of blue light. Of course, we haven't yet taken a look at the lower end of this. If the labyrinth voyager is bouncing "up" into the light spectrum, then what happens when it bounces "down"? At the bottom end, the voyager bounces into a temporary oblivion. That's why, unless we are well-trained to maintain the thread of consciousness during stage-four sleep, we will tend to experience periods of blackout interspersed with periods of sudden and extreme exposure to the more intense radiation levels on the higher end of the light-spectrum, which can bring about excruciating consciousness interludes and a desire to sink into the infra-red levels of reality.
  So on the bottom end, without the ability to maintain a high degree of intensity of attention and presence through the stage four sleep, the voyager will experience blackout and loss of memory, and must, through these contact readings, be reminded of what's actually happening when the light spectrum is re-entered on the top end of the cycle.

All the rest rock-out and wait for his return. Just as he sets his fingers on the edge of the floor and is about to haul himself back into his homeroom after eons of agonizing evolution, they freak him out so badly that he plummets back to the algae stage. And so on, ad infinitum.

  It is our experience that anyone with a sincere interest is able to develop the skills and learn the art of being a labyrinth reader by completing the Labyrinth Readers Course. We offer the course in three ways:
  A brilliant and colorful photographic journey through Bardo Town™, the HO scale model tabletop layout built by E.J. Gold and his team of psychic scientists during the years 1992-1997, and photographed by him at that time. Bardo Town™ is the result of over three decades of planning, measuring 75' x 54' when finished.
  Hundreds of photographs capturing Bardo Town™ in living color are available on CD-ROM, including behind-the-scenes photos that illustrate the effort that went into the production of this enormous scale model, complete with sound bytes to enhance the experience.
