In its practical and direct approach and its innovative perspectives on death, dying and the integration of our own death into a conscious life, this book offers a keen insight into a contemporary western teaching. The book can serve as a companion guide to The American Book of the Dead, deepening the understanding of a compassionate, non-sentimental approach to the great voyage that every human will undertake at the end of his / her life.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

E.J. Gold is a pioneer in the Western research into the important question of dying. Gold is unique amongst contemporary teachers in presenting ancient work insights in ways that emphasize the impact on the student much more than informing his intellect.

A review from Michael Peter Langevin, editior / publisher, Magical Blend Magazine:

Not since Elisabeth Kubler-Ross has anyone written about death and dying in such a poetic, humorous and empowering fashion.

A review from Paul R. Brenner M. Div., Executive Director, Jacob Perlow Hospice, Beth Israel Medical Center, NYC: The Great Adventure offers insight, support and practical approaches to the rich tapestry of materials available to hospice and palliative care workers for supporting the cultural and spiritual diversity of patient and family experience and the ending of life. It is also a great course of how to intentionally, purposefully and joyfully live in the present moment.

A review from Simcha Paul Raphael, Ph. D., Dept. of Religion, La Salle University, author of Jewish Views of the Afterlife: Only one who has truly walked the journey of awakening can reflect upon death, transition and rebirth with both practical wisdom and an otherworldly sense of humor. E.J. Gold has done just that, and The Great Adventure is a living testament to the depth of his spiritual understanding of multi-dimensional realities of the death-moment, and the nature of the world-beyond.

 

A review from Richard Smoley, coauthor, Hidden Wisdom: A Guide to the Western Inner Traditions:

A zesty, fascinating, and insightful compendium of knowledge about the unseen realms. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to stretch their concepts of reality a little further.
