What are some of your favourite spiritual books?
..I'm looking for just about any interesting text. What are some good books:
-that have helped you in your spiritual journey,
-that relate to your beliefs of spirituals traditions and the soul,
-of the mind, consciousness, and the psyche, or
-on metaphysics?

I would recommend reading a book by someone who you consider to be spiritually awake
I would go with reliability, so the words of Sages that i respect
Buddha - Pali Canon: (this website is tremendous)
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/index.html
Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching
Ramana Maharshi - Any book that has his direct teaching statements

I appreciate the replies!
..I'll check them all out when I get a chance.
Honestly, I haven't really looked or found anyone I feel to be spiritually awake. I plan on doing so.

I used to study Buddhist texts translated into English text and could never really grasp the message. I think that a lot gets lost in translation. After reading A New Earth it kind of brought it all together for me.

 This thread was moved from Philosophy, Sociology & Psychology.
Reason:
This forum is more Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology than Spirituality

Modeling Ruminant Digestion and Metabolism - R.L. Baldwin
--------------------
    
All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

I got about 55 minutes in before I had to close out and come home. It was a bit slow moving, but I really enjoyed it.
I've had previous thoughts/feelings of how the outside world distorts our perception of the real world.. and he did a great job of putting this into words and expanding it for me.
I've got mixed feelings on his perspective of 'aloneness'. I've been trying to reach a similar state for a while.. living in the now, and trying to rid myself of those distortions. But, he lost me a bit in his truth talk. I don't get what he believes defines anything as a truth/falsity.. he basically goes on to say that ego isn't truth, I think.
I've found some text and other videos by him; I've enjoyed them all thus far!
Thanks a bunch, steveareno.
