Some books that I have found informative and enlightening.
« on: July 08, 2009, 11:50:40 AM »
I apologize for not being around here a great deal at this time. I'm pretty smoking busy (not busy smoking) and I don't believe this is a hurry up job either. The community is already in existence and it's a matter of precipitating down through the ethers which is not something you want to force or get antsy about. You're already there. Living as if you were there is all that's required at the moment.

In no particular order,

The Way of Life; Witter Bynner translation.
The Way to the Kingdom; author listed as anonymous but actually Joseph Brenner.
The Impersonal Life; same author as above
The Way out and other works; same author again. I will be willing to mail PDF copies of this on request.
The Bhagavad Gita; Swami Prabhupada version
The Kybalion; Three Initiates
The Tarot lessons of Paul Foster Case; offered by The BOTA
Pantajali's Yoga Aphorisms; The Alice Bailey edition
The Door to Everything; Ruby Nelson
Gnosis;  three volumes by Boris Mouravieff
The Science of Mind; Ernest Holmes


That should do for starters. I will add to this as we go along.

I would like to recommend "In Search of the Miraculous" by P D Ouspensky.

It's the best book I know of on the process of creating observer consciousness.

"The Secret Science Behind Miracles" by Max Freedom Long http://www.sacred-texts.com/nth/ssbm/index.htm A well written and easy to digest book on Huna traditions. Their interpretation and practice of psychology and magick is rather interesting. Definetely worth a look. The website linked is also an excellent storehouse for esoteric information.

Wouldn't it be neat if and when the physical community gets established that one brings along all of his/her favorite books to read, loan, and share. A community library... so to speak. Along with books everyone who has been posting has very valueable skills and experiences. Some like Michael can teach the others Spanish for instance.

I bought "The Ra Material" 1-5 about 2 years ago, began reading it now. I like the analytical way it is presented.

I also just read "The Alchemist" by Pablo Coelho, a nice story with wisdom and love. He also has a "Manual of the warrior of light". Paolo Coelho is a member of a Vatican order, he tells about it in his book The Pilgrimage, that I shall read next(ordered yesterday).

Johan P. Calleman has been a good "Maya source" for me.

A book I almost never see mentioned anywhere that I found informative and enlightening was The Book of the Subgenius. Seriously! (it's a long story, but a short book).

Then there's Uriel's Machine, which I frankly don't know what to think about yet. Just read it, and, well... wow.

Does anyone remember that children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon?

It just popped into my head recently. I used to read it when I was young. Pretty profound book, actually.

Just saying....

Ah, the simple truths of our existence.

The "First and Last Freedom" by Jiddu Krishnamurti is one of the most eye-opening books I have ever read.
