The American Book of the Dead by E.J. Gold provides instructions and guidance for navigating the "labyrinth" which represents the journey between life and death.

The text, known as the American Book of the Dead, is designed to help individuals, referred to as "voyagers," remain conscious and aware during the transition through various macrodimensional states. It aims to guide them toward liberation from the cycle of rebirth and the limitations of the human experience, emphasizing the importance of a compassionate and attentive approach toward death.

This guide is intended to be used by readers to assist voyagers during their final passage, by reading specific sections aloud to help them navigate challenging stages and avoid being trapped in lower dimensions.
