"Beginning with a question to the reader on "The Key to Life," author E.J. Gold presents a conversational introduction to his highly recommended, most basic meditation and self-study exercise, the invocation of presence. This is a simple and lucid exercise to apply in everyday life, any time, anywhere--which does not mean it is an easy practice to maintain. In this step by step tutorial, Gold asks the reader for no philosophy, no religion, no particular belief system at all--only the willingness of the reader or student of inner work to experiment with the practice and collect ones own personal impressions and insights from it"--.
