J. Jaye Gold (Justin Gold) is an American writer and founder of The Center for Cultural & Naturalist Studies, Inc. a nonprofit service organization. He teaches of methods for the study of consciousness and lives in Northern California.
Background edit
Born in The Bronx, New York, Gold was raised in an extended, multiethnic and multireligious immigrant family.[1] He later lived in Little Rock, Arkansas[2] and Santa Barbara, California.[3][4]
The Center for Cultural & Naturalist Studies edit
Founded by Gold in 1983,[5] the Center for Cultural and Naturalist Studies, Inc. (C.C.N.S.), is a California 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization.
C.C.N.S. projects in North America range from a monthly local soup kitchen and singing at convalescent homes, to reconstruction and relief work after hurricanes in Mississippi, Florida, North Carolina, and Puerto Rico.[6] Overseas projects have included constructing a new wing at a clinic for Burmese refugees in Thailand, performing puppet shows, delivering medical supples, donating bulk food to families, and visiting with Syrian refugee children in Turkey,[7][8] and building a birthing-recovery wing at a clinic in rural Cambodia.
Teaching edit
Maintaining that it is possible to cease resting the weight of one's life on impermanent things — job, reputation, looks, money, a relationship[9] — Gold aims to help students remove obstacles to higher consciousness, including thinking too much about oneself.[10] It is possible, he suggests, to leave behind blame and other self-destructive tendencies, such as “competition, protection of self-image, restlessness, [and] fear of embarrassment.”[11] Gold, Suzanne Lang explains, is one of those people "who have figured some things out and work to share what the’ve learned."[12]
Works edit
In his first publication, Another Heart in His Hand, Gold converses with a professional poker player as they travel the tournament circuit[13] making observations about human nature that are "less than sound-bite sunny,"[14] The Whole Life Times suggested it be read by "anyone who is interested in furthering his/her mind and soul."[15] Gold more recently published a novel about financial espionage, an international travel-adventure story,[16] multiple essays, and an autobiographical "chronicle of a very adventurous life,"[17] with questions that challenge basic human assumptions and conclusions.[18]
