Life in the Labyrinth (Labyrinth Trilogy, Book 2) [Paperback]

E. J. Gold (Author), Linda Corriveau (Introduction)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 1991 | Series: Labyrinth Trilogy (Book 2)

Unknowingly we voyage in a labyrinth, a macro-dimensional maze of living electrical force, cloaked by a layer of ordinary life. Our most serious obstacle is the urge to convert everything to the familiar, reduce it to the level of the primate brain; to reject the living, breathing reality of the totality of all attention.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

From the Editor's Introduction: "It takes a long time to develop vision, but with proper training and a solid conceptual framework one can learn to see in new categories. It is my hope that this book can provide some of the tools which I have found useful in obtaining a beginning grasp of the labyrinth, that you may benefit from the truth--which leaves me not at peace, as I had imagined, but in even greater turmoil--which I have at last found."--Linda Corriveau

From the Author

Unknowingly we voyage in a labyrinth, a macrodimensional maze of living electrical force, cloaked by a thick layer of ordinary life. Our most serious obstacle is the uncontrollable urge to convert everything to the familiar, to reduce it all to the level of the primate brain; to reject the living, breathing reality of all possible attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars a sharp look at human affairs, October 26, 2006

By 

Slingshot (Northern California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Life in the Labyrinth (Labyrinth Trilogy, Book 2) (Paperback)

This book is a tour-de-force through the human condition.
It gave me many insights into areas I always wondered, like: is a totempole a merely decorative object or has it a ritual function? Or: What is the job of a shaman? What is the spiritual function of love?
As a matter of fact, this book is filled to the brim with thought-provoking ideas, unusual facts and slightly different views of the world, which open up not only vast areas of discussion, but give actual hints of how you may read spiritual classics like Rumi, Gurdjieff, the Bible, the Koran or the Bhagavadgita with new eyes and a different perspective.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Look Into Shamanism, Transformation, Work in the Real World, January 24, 2007

This review is from: Life in the Labyrinth (Labyrinth Trilogy, Book 2) (Paperback)

Although I would recommend getting your feet wet with the first of this trilogy which is the Human Biological Machine as a Transformational Apparatus-this is definitely the next step toward higher dimensional mapping. EJ Gold tells it like it is in terms of your responsibility in taking hold of your life and he does this in ways which may make use of the "dictionary" so be aware. It is not what I would call light reading in any respect of the term. This book is an experience to be read again and again like all of the books by this author are, in my opinion.
Bon Voyage!
