What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Six Simple Steps to Doing a Reading

Step 1: Find a place to do the Reading

Find a location where you will not be disturbed for 15 to 20 minutes. It does not need to be a private space -- just one where you will not be required to move or interact with others during the Reading.

Step 2: Gather the few materials you will need for the Reading

Gather the following items:

Name of the individual for whom you are reading
Sacred text you have selected for this reading
Photograph of the individual for whom you are reading (if available)

The name and photograph are used in establishing contact with the Voyager -- the individual the Reading is directed to.

Step 3: Compose yourself

Sit comfortably and attentively in the space.

Relax the body -- especially the face. The relaxation of the facial muscles will bring about relaxation of the whole body. Take a few cleansing breaths. A cleansing breath can be performed by inhaling deeply through the nostrils, then exhaling (letting it go) through the mouth.

Say aloud: "I wish for this effort to be used for the benefit of all beings everywhere."

Step 4: Establish contact with the Voyager

Begin to establish contact with the Voyager by looking at the photograph.

Say the following aloud: "This Reading is addressed to the being of [name of individual here]."

(If you don't have a photograph, then you may use the name of the Voyager written on a slip of paper.)

Step 5: Deliver the Reading

Read the selected text aloud to the Voyager with purpose and certainty.

Step 6: Close the Reading

When the Reading is complete, declare: "This completes the reading of [name of text] addressed to the being of [name of Voyager]."

Declare: "I wish for the results of this reading to be used for the benefit of all beings everywhere."

Put the photograph and/or the name card away until the next Reading.

Clear away any other items you may have used for the Reading.

If you are keeping a journal or log of the Readings, now would be a good time to record your experience.

The above instructions give you the complete procedure for doing a reading.

Labyrinth Reading gives one the opportunity to live consciously, work for the benefit of all beings and prepare for one's own death.

Just as a midwife assists birth, the reader of The American Book of the Dead assists voyagers who have passed into the macrodimensions to attain liberation or to achieve a conscious and deliberate rebirth on re-entry into the human dimension

"The American Book of the Dead" by E.J. Gold

"If you've ever awakened from a dream because you knew it was a dream ... taking it one step further . . . if you awaken from here and realize it's a dream, you're in the waking state."

"Perfect service has no job description. You actually look for what needs to be done and uncomplainingly do it . unless it violates your ethics, in which case it doesn't need doing, does it?"

E.J. Gold
