"Enlightenment is just the beginning, later on come other skills, ...patience, a forgiving nature, extreme attention...." E.J. Gold
E.J. Gold and the "School", part 2
The Institute for the Development of the Harmonious Human Being, IDHHB, is one current outer form of the school.
If you are ready for a selection of your next step in your investigation, just scroll down, or - you could read a bit more...you'll get there in a couple of minutes :)
Coming to IDHHB for a workshop: it's fun, chaos, energizing, life changing, puzzling, amazing and the one thing folks say most is: they got filled, feel full, they got so much, are so grateful...even as it never is as they expected... Just to be clear, this is not a hand-holding type of retreat or a spa. Hospitality is amazing and you do get put to work in some way or the other. If you play an instrument, make sure to bring it along.
It's an esoteric school.
It's a multidimensional school.
It's a school with various manifestations and places.
It is a "Work" employment agency.
It's a path of self initiation.
Do you really want to wake up, be “enlightened” and then descend into the hell realms to do the work? Are you prepared to live the total ordinariness of it?
Are you ready for a life of service?
Are you ready to take responsibility for your part of GOD?
Students at IDHHB are in Bardo Training on various levels.
Training to travel in the labyrinth, this mysterious creature,
training for inter-dimensional voyage though the life cycles...birth, life, death, between lives state, birth - life, death..in a certain way.
Realize you are the original star barf and everything since.
Being a student does require a high level of self initiation, a high level of self investigation and willingness to work with what you discover there (inside).
Do you want change your deepest habits? Do you want to maintain a conscious thread from one lifetime to another?
What exactly are the effects of having a physical body?
Sucking in the condition of your body and environmental molds, how do your essential habits show? Do you want to learn what it takes to learn to love?
If you have any such questions, you will get plenty of opportunity to experience answers in your body and being.
You will need to develop skills, like attention, discipline and, at least for periods of time, maintain certain practices. You will have to came face to face with your shadow, your anti-me.
To deeply engage in the transformational process anywhere might require professional or at least dedicated and sustained support at some time or another. Good to know that there are others on this path here with you.
Some say Mr. Gold is the successor of Gurdijeff
and I have been told the G. groups are very different, so who knows? I do not know and, though I probably should, I do not care. There just so much 3 d time to go around to investigate. There seems to be a resonance with what is called the 4th way however.
Embodiment, stages and states of development have been described elsewhere better than I ever could.
Healing modalities, energies and energy fields and ways to perceive them and how work with them have been described and are taught elsewhere. Those you will need to investigate yourself if you feel called to. High sense perception may or may not open up at some point in this process.
If you have a scientifically trained mind, how will you convince it that other realities do indeed exist and are real...this you must do, because in the long run, blind faith will not do when dealing with these things. How will you be able to accept macro-dimensional perceptions? There is no substitute for personal experience personally experienced.
And to what end or purpose? This too you will need to decide for yourself.
How does E.J. work: for one, by Being...which includes an openness and receptiveness to the moment, a deep understanding of human nature and type, living in different realities, shape shifting, acute awareness, high sense perception and creativity. He works shamanically. He takes his clues from what is around him. He uses many many tools. He will respect your limits and your “no” at any time, so much so that you may wish to be careful with it as he'll simply leave you alone. However, you will feel pushed to the edge of what you can handle pretty much all the time otherwise.
He works almost only with groups.
His understanding of human nature is profound.
He admits he does not know everything, can make mistakes, yet, in my experience, his instincts, without knowing why, tend to be right over and over. Intuition highly evolved, knowing without knowing how, knowing coming through in moment to moment being.
His humor can be challenging, yet there's profound compassion, untold enduring of suffering and what seems to be endless patience.
He is alive today.
