Bardo Training Archive Talks

This workshop presentation explores the concepts of resurrection and reincarnation, as well as the invocation of Work forces and the recording of work-data in certain ancient artifacts.

In this talk, E.J. Gold examines the question "sensation + fear = pain." If one were to remove fear, the equation would balance in a new way. This talk also includes a discussion of the Sacrifice of Infinity.

Topics covered in this talk include being in the organic machine, the biological body and its use for transformation, escape from the cycles of birth and death, periods of blackout, essence and psyche, and the dangers of being a "space-junkie".

This talk on the American Book of the Dead covers such topics as the difference between psyche and essence, the development of the essence and how it takes rebirth, the mechanism and breakdown of the psyche, death as a form of stress, the corridor of madness, transit tracking, recurrence and the Bardo Thodol.

David Atkinson and Marilyn Gossen. Terminal Midwifery is an approach for preparing terminal patients for death through the use of trained "Terminal Midwives." In this panel discussion, David and Marilyn explain the function of terminal midwifery within the community.

Side I, II, III: Meg McDonnell and Pat McKenty discuss in this workshop presentation the use of Transformational Massage treatment to expose the body to a mild organic shock. In the resulting state of imbalance, the individual has a greater ability to sense the habits and postures locked in the body's musculature and greater freedom to crystallize new habits.

Side IV: Mike McDonnell in this workshop talk explains how to regain the habit of remaining conscious throughout our nightly sleeping periods. Includes techniques for pacifying the physical body, and allowing the astral body to become active.

These are bardo training techniques.

Movement from one world to another, closing the door to the womb, the Gurus, Grace, and reception of Baraka.

This talk focuses on Liberation and the Guru.

This talk explores the place of humanity within the universe, creation cycles, isolation from the cosmos and fear of unity, and the question of what survives the cycles of death and rebirth.

A talk on death, transit and rebirth; the difference between the "psychotic" and the "mystic"; "Be-ing" in nonexistence and experiencing the between-lives state before organic death.

Topics include biofeedback states in the brain wave frequency bands, using the tank to work with these states, and the process of producing between-lives experiences. This talk has been remastered and included in The Tank Talks CD-T239.

This talk focuses on the use and function of the tank, including a presentation of its use to reflect one's own essential nature and a startling revelation of the method for using the tank as a gateway to another world.

This talk explores the body which operates during the transit experience (the Body of Habits), how it guides itself through transit to rebirth by habits mechanically accumulated through biological and psychological conditioning, and how special techniques can be used to consciously alter its conditioning for higher rebirth.

This New York easaphone call to core group examines work on self in a controlled space, within the context of the American Book of the Dead -- Labyrinth Reader's Course. Learning how to function in higher dimensions, the power of the machine, the function of mood in the waking state, koans and zhikrs are discussed.

The idea of perfecting the same lifetime through repetition as opposed to being blown by one's own Karma into running apparently different lifetimes in different bodies is presented. Creation as a mathematical equation, psychoanalysis, the fragmentation of light and sound and penetration into the eternal moment are also discussed.

Work data on dreaming and sleep states, out-of-body experiences, the Face of God exercise and adoration of the machine.

In this revealing presentation of work data and perspectives, E.J. Gold speaks on the Angel of Death, being the center of one's own mandala, the Man on the Cross, stillness and silence at the speed of light, light in infinite extension, eternity, the void and the deathbed experience.

This talk centers on electromagnetic radiations, higher bodies and colors in relation to the Work perspectives. Radiational effects are discussed in the context of the bardo or transit, the between-lifetime chambers. The astral body and the "in-sleep" perspective are also presented.

"Please extinguish all light. We are about to enter the primate sector...." In this fascinating talk, the Voyager's quatrain is examined in relationship to movement through the Labyrinth. Also, an encounter with what the Absolute sees is discussed.

Problem solving in the labyrinth may utilize skills that are not readily acquired. The Zelda game requires a method, although limited, of learning how to think in other categories and how to look at things in a new way, as you might do in voyaging situations. Join us on this fascinating discovery where many learning surprises await you.

An exploration of the macrodimensional significance of this important question. Also, the original moment of creation, the last temptation of Christ, the seduction of suicide, reading artifacts, Zen power yell, and the view from the cross are looked at.

This tape has the effect of drawing attention to a certain quality of experience. What follows is a guided tour of various spaces and situations one may encounter in the Bardos usually in the third stage just prior to rebirth. The intention here is to enable one to identify the bardo and rebirth spaces through recognition. Also discussed are suggested dos and don'ts for obtaining a good rebirth, and the real nature of the "boogie man."

A dramatic reading of the book by the author, E.J. Gold. Learn instantly, the lazy man's way, how to confront the symptoms of death and hang out in white light regions. Key passages read -- Symptoms, First Stage, The Clear Light with background music and sound effects.

Recorded at the Transit Chapel in Crestline, Sunday, February 22, 1976. This talk focuses on the American Book of the Dead. Topics include instructions for Choosing Rebirth; the Six Worlds; how the Bardos go on all the time; disintegration and reintegration of the Primal Elements of Consciousness; the experience of the Void as the Ultimate Stress Point; the balance game of Existence and Nonexistence; Liberation seen as something to be reached and then transcended; the function of the Guide; the Mantram for closing the Womb Door.

This tape discusses working with the American Book of the Dead in the voyaging space; doing readings to guide a Being through the Bardos; establishing and maintaining contact with the Voyager; preparing in life for what you confront in the Bardo; being thrown off balance into an unconscious rebirth; experiencing the Bardo in the voyaging space; the Bardo seen as the unraveling of one's own consciousness; the shock of being unprepared and thrown from space to space in the Bardos.

Side A: Origami I: This talk from 1971 centers on the Japanese paper-folding artform, Origami. The Zen Roshis, who use this art as a teaching tool, say "It's all in the folding and the unfolding." The result of the folding and unfolding is called the material world, or Maya, which is the electromagnetic field upon which the Lord works. Origami is a way of teaching one how to work. Side B: Guidelines for the Practitioner/Labyrinth Reader: This talk given in the early '70s explains for Transit Practitioners how to act appropriately in a variety of situations; potential trouble a Practitioner can get into and how to handle it; and how to communicate with the family of the deceased. The talk stresses the point that a Practitioner never backs down from his or her ministry.

From 1974, this talk is centered on "clearing" material in the voyaging space; the ability to reprogram, deprogram or program one's own existence. Topics include: The "Primne" state -- the first awareness of self; the "Pre-Rock" area -- an escape from the Prime State, the area of the Primordial Being; the "Rock" -- an escape from the Pre-Rock area, the persistent throught between the self and the Prime State, the center of the Universe where no time exists and where it's always the same; and Genetic Programs -- what Gurdjieff called influences and what Ouspensky called I's, which are what get you devolved into the material universe (present time) by putting as much distance between you and the Rock as possible.

E.J. Gold discusses how to use the video game Zelda for labyrinth training.

Pir Al-Wahshi a.k.a. E.J. Gold talks about extending one's lifespan for the Work, and how to bring oneself to the condition of being useful to the Work. He relates some of his experiences with his early teachers.

In this series of talks Mr. Gold discusses biofeedback in the four major frequency bands (Beta, Alpha, Theta and the four Deltas), the use of the sensory deprivation tank to work with these states and the process of producing the between-lives experience using the tank. A second focus is the use and function of the tank, including a presentation of its use to reflect one's own essential nature and a startling revelation of the method for using that tank as a gateway to another world. Included in this series of talks is the tape "The Brute World on $5 a Day" (is also available individually). In this talk Mr. Gold openly discusses with a small private group the gateways leading from one world to another and the method for surviving sudden transitions between worlds.

Every year Christmas rolls around, like it or not. What do you do? You meet with friends and family, and notice there's just some folks that Seem to Have Everything. Still, Christmas is for them, too, you think, and sure enough every year you find yourself wandering around looking for something in your price range for Those Who Already Have It All, but would probably like more. (I heard recently of a company, perhaps related to the God-World-in-My-Pocket developers, who've gone ahead and put the Entire Known Universe up for sale... After that gets bought, I guess they'll put up some of the Unknown and Lesser Known Universes, and before long Christmas shopping will be worse than ever...)

However, even Those Who Have It All don't often have a God-World-in-My-Pocket, not even the Gods, who you'd think would've wised up by now, rather than walking around with empty pockets.

Luckily, in this fast paced talk, E.J. Gold solves the problem. Listen and learn as he presents ideas about marketing this unique product--which I recommend everyone buy TODAY from SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE--like from Cloister Recordings, whom I know has some sitting around here and there that've been collecting special etheric particles from the Etherical Particles Division of their corporation, just in case they run into one of those Recording Angels in charge of seasonal gift giving for various recording label gods and executives.

Once you've seen one of these Pocket Worlds for yourself, you'll sigh with relief at their delightful simplicity, and may want to try selling a few yourself, if not for profit, then perhaps in the Spirit of helping some of the wandering Gods out there find a way home for the holidays...

Are you a time-traveler? Then you are in for a treat as you sit in on this top secret meeting which took place in the late 20th century by high ranking 37th century time-tripper General EJ "Nunan" Gold, detailing some of his film plans for his famous book SlimeWars, a book beloved by Slime Molds everywhere as an early guidebook for humans about the war between Slime Molds and Grey Aliens. General Gold tells of the Great Mother Slime Mold, who began in a slop bucket underneath the White House, as well as mentioning how the Aliens encouraged the growth of humans in order to provide the Aliens with missing enzymes they needed, and to care for the Aliens' stock of bovine enzymes.

He also mentions the Slime Mold agenda which includes the important information to humans for avoiding the rampant 20th and 21st century phenomenon of Alien abduction and enzyme extraction. "We're interested in teaching humans how to be telepaths. Telepathy is the only defense against Alien abduction. If you want to be considered an intelligent species, you must be telepathic..." Otherwise, guess what? Abduction and enzyme extraction become normal operating procedure in the Grey's scheme toward global domination of Planet Earth.

So, time-traveler, where are you sitting? Is the great film classic "Slimewars" already downloaded to your screen? Do you already own the action figures set from the film--hard to find, and worth trillions on eBay? If so, then I know you'll enjoy hearing how it all started so long ago, back when slime mold operatives gathered to discuss their own plans and ideas for the fate of Planet Earth. If not, then by all means listen and learn...it may already be too late!

Using the analogy of training for the Bardo through the rigors of playing online video games, E.J. Gold reveals how to learn, in theory, bardo habits required for working as a group in the work. This training provides a foundation. However one needs a mechanism to remind one to engage attention, wake up and apply bardo habits in a practical setting. Gold shows how an alarm clock within one's ordinary life can be devised toward this aim. "I've always liked the idea of an alarm clock for awakening, but until I heard this talk, I never knew exactly how they worked," Pedro Gonzales, Ibiza Spain

On December 6, 2002 Paul Barnes and Miguel Lopez, from Spain, interviewed E.J. Gold. They asked the questions and got the answers we all want to know. How do the teachings of the Books of the Dead relate to Bardo Gaming? How does one prepare for the last journey by computer gaming? If you were fortunate and heard the talk "The Making of the American Book of the Dead" recorded in the '70s in Vancouver, then you won't want to miss this one. "A wonderful bi-lingual romp, with full simultaneous translation (including jokes and puns) in both Spanish and English. Not to be missed. Listen to it again and again!" Patricia Elizabeth, Co-Director - Labyrinth Readers Society

If you're in hell and you hope to be a pro gamer you need this CD, and you need it now.

If you think the material in Pro Hell Gamer I was pure dynamite, just wait til you get a hold of this!

Revealing how to take the posture of a professional bardo runner, this talk also examines the specific elements of a pro rush as well as the attitude needed to be able to accept or give one. Highly recommended for in-depth study.

Nobody likes to be called a noob. Here are the basic things you need to know to look like a pro player even at level one.

This talk clearly delivers the "bottom line" on the attitude required for working in the Work - one's situation in a Work life. Gold also presents a Bardo Training tool which gives us the opportunity to transmute the "life" habits into "work" habits, habits that before now were completely invisible. In the Bardo Training we see how we live our lives, how we handle the sudden ambushes of the Labyrinth, and how we are able to work in a group. Bardo Training also provides, in a fun and safe way, the opportunity to bring ourselves in line with the Work self we wish to build.

In the course of presenting a workshop Mr. Gold will often include jokes, anecdotes and data apparently tangential to the subject at hand. These asides may be as valuable as the course itself. This collection presents highlights of additional material from the 2005 Movements Workshop. Here you will find a wealth of information and advice on setting up an online Work business as well as much information not given elsewhere. Additionally, these CDs communicate the atmosphere of the workshop space and provide a clear dispatch of current Institute activity.

E.J. Gold discusses with Claude Needham and the core group how to use the book Bardo Stations - a blueprint or map of the Bardos. Specific viewpoints are offered to hold and examine as one reads the book and notates impressions on the "Notes" pages. The reader can start connecting up to the between-lives state and start breaking down the barrier put in place by organic life. Everything in life wants you to be responding to that which is of the body - basically survive, transform food to pooh. If you assign too much significance to this you will lose the ability to find the more important things. The Bardos are like many dimensions, alternative realities, that you thread your way through. Comparisons are drawn between the Bardos and situations arising in Bardo Safaris with suggestions on how to learn from these experiences.

During the convention in 2005 E.J. Gold guided Cynthia through elementary Bardo Training. Through this interactive demonstration what you need to know for Bardo Safaris is identified. Gold reveals the secret of exactly why Bardo Training is a practical tool.
