Lazy Man's Guide to Death and Dying

by E.J. Gold, Robert Anton Wilson (Contributor), John C. Lilly (Contributor)

If you're thinking about dying, but don't know where to begin—relax! Here at long last is the worthy successor to the New American Book of the Dead, capturing the true essence of death—American style. Earthbound voyagers set adrift in the unveiled vision of the Diffused State will quickly learn to use this ultimate tourist's guide to the local customs of strange lands on the High Road to Consciousness which painlessly allows the inner being to absorb information about transit, bypassing the analytical ego through the intentional use of humor. From exact instructions on how to confront the symptoms of death, "After all you're dead! What more can happen?", to concise and detailed material on how to choose rebirth without really trying, The Lazy Man's Guide to Death & Dying is without a doubt the last word in the field of books on the death experience.

Now in its 33rd year of publication! With special relevance to those who are sick or dying, this American interpretation of the timeless Tibetan spiritual classic is invaluable for anyone in spiritual crisis, preparing for death, or wishing to honor loved ones.

Reading it provides a deep sense of purpose that one is helping others and reveals depths of personal understanding in mysterious non-linear ways.

I am very devoted to E.J. Gold, and I am so glad he passed and passes so much knowledge to us. Read it and see for yourself that:

"Gold's work.understanding, unscholarly, and humorous.is likely to stimulate in its reader an attitude, as well as an orientation, toward the ultimate (which is) beyond attachment/aversion to experience." --Claudio Naranjo (author of Ennea-type Structures and How to Be)
