E. J. Gold is the leader of the human potential movement on the West Coast. He lives in Nevada City, California.
"""The first time I encountered true presence was in meeting E.J. Gold. About two years before I had recognized true presence in myself, I experienced it as the presence of E.J. He was visiting a group I was in at the beginning of the seventies, and being around him I got to see what a human being embodying presence is like. E.J., as authentic presence, was striking and unmistakable, and I never forgot that impression."" -- A. H. Almaas, The Founder of the Diamond Approach to Self-Realization ""E.J. Gold is an author like none other I have read. In The Invocation of Presence he takes on the task of dissecting the nature of life and existence. He also gives us tools to take control of our lives. I found the book extremely entertaining and consciousness-expanding. I highly recommend not only reading it, but studying it."" -- Michael Peter Langevin, author of The Secrets of the Ancient Incas and Co-publisher of The Echo World magazine"
