Shamanism 101 054 -- 1986 Mr. Gold instructs students attending the 1986 Summer Intensive Workshop in strengthening the essential self's attention using a carefully selected amuletic stone to tangibly represent the source of attention. Included are comments on the nature of love and God and the role extreme attention plays in love-making. The latter part of the discussion deals with our tendency to lie to ourselves about our work and how we can overcome this insidious and ever-present barrier.
