The Invocation of Presence - (Consciousness Classics) by E J Gold (Paperback)

About the Book

"Beginning with a question to the reader on "The Key to Life," author E.J. Gold presents a conversational introduction to his highly recommended, most basic meditation and self-study exercise, the invocation of presence. This is a simple and lucid exercise to apply in everyday life, any time, anywhere--which does not mean it is an easy practice to maintain. In this step by step tutorial, Gold asks the reader for no philosophy, no religion, no particular belief system at all--only the willingness of the reader or student of inner work to experiment with the practice and collect one's own personal impressions and insights from it"--

Book Synopsis

In this short and accessible book, E.J. Gold gives clear practices for invoking presence in the present, the true presence of spiritual nature as what we are. In discussions with his inner circle of students, he lays out not only how to invoke true presence, but how to make presence a permanent realization.

Review Quotes

"E.J. Gold is an author like none other I have read. In The Invocation of Presence he takes on the task of dissecting the nature of life and existence. He also gives us tools to take control of our lives. I found the book extremely entertaining and consciousness-expanding. I highly recommend not only reading it, but studying it." -- Michael Peter Langevin, author of The Secrets of the Ancient Incas and Co-publisher of The Echo World magazine

"The first time I encountered true presence was in meeting E.J. Gold. About two years before I had recognized true presence in myself, I experienced it as the presence of E.J. He was visiting a group I was in at the beginning of the seventies, and being around him I got to see what a human being embodying presence is like. E.J., as authentic presence, was striking and unmistakable, and I never forgot that impression." -- A. H. Almaas, The Founder of the Diamond Approach to Self-Realization
