E.J. Gold

[ralis]

Anyone ever meet this guy? I read most of his books years ago and "Life In The Labyrinth" was very useful. However, he seems to be going off the deep end with expensive workshops and brain wave technology at a very high price. The next workshop is for 3 days at the bargain price of $2500.

Thanks for the link -- I immediately was sucked in and ordered half a dozen Astral Amulets -- for a total of a couple grand including tax. I'm going to put them on my dead cat -- somewhere in the woods probably, eaten by a cougar or coyotes -- anyway I'll just hang them from trees and wait for him to come back to life.

oh, yeah, I could tell you a lot about E.J. I was never a student of his, but I was a guest of his at his place in Grass Valley a few years ago. he's definitely smart and interesting, and he's also a Wizard of Oz of sorts. A reeeallly interesting scene. if I feel up to it, I'll relate more, but I'm not as fast a typist as some, so I would be limited by that.

 

Some of his books are awesome. Try 'The American Book of the Dead' sometime. Read it aloud, and it will put you in a very altered state within a few pages.

 

E.J. Is one of the great spiritual tricksters of all time, and is a guru with a cult of personality. Some of his things have been absolute brilliance, others not so much. He kind of disappeared a few years ago from the spiritual scene, but I'm happy to hear he's still around. His health was precarious when I met him. I absolutely hate his artwork, and he is prolific, but it creeps me out.

 

He truly is an interesting personality and should not be dismissed out of hand.

Just want to add that E.J. Gold is a master of the Bardo. All his work relates to that, and some might mistake it for b.s. But it all comes from a Bardo orientation. Plus he is a trickster somewhat in the tradition of Gurdjieff.

Well Im a slow reader and would be delighted to read more of your slow typing if you feel up to it.

 

I used his book of the dead when my Grandfather passed, many years ago. It was an interesting experience, he was a strict Irish catholic and so a lot of that imagery came up and intergrated into the journey.

 

E.J.Gold also wrote a few books by 'Mr.G' which many folks assumed were the lost writings of Gurdjieff, he did nothing to dissuade them. haha

I think he was having fun with the Gurdjieff community.
