Cool man thanks for the info, much appreciated. Might just have to get me a copy to have on deck. I try and collect as many spiritual books as I can, creating a spiritual library of everyone's knowledge so any good referenced books are nice to have. I will be adding most of these books actually, I hope that people keep on referencing more.

Thanks deff for that description, i kinda got a headspin reading what you wrote actually.
As for the books, the one that has had the biggest impact was Be Here Now as you guys have already mentioned. This one came into my life at my time of spiritual unfolding and has helped me wake into this moment. I actually just ordered Ram Dass's journey of awakening and The Only dance there Is. Im excited for those. I have been reading Higher Wisdom: eminent elders explore the continuing impact of psychedelics......This is a very good read. It has contributions from alot of big names and every persons section in it is very interesting and informative. Prometheus Rising was also good, Alan Watt's This IS IT provided an interesting understanding. I cant wait to check out some of the books posted aswell. Lah'Kesh

I have to recommend Jack Kornfield's "A Path With Heart." Fantastic book, everything I was looking for when I read it.
Before that I did read Ram Dass' "Journey to Awakening" and didn't care much for it. Jack Kornfield really blows him away in my opinion.
If you read the Tibetan Book of the Dead, get the one with commentary by Carl Jung. Very interesting his thoughts on the topic.
The best and most up to date book I have read on Buddhism is "In the Face of Fear: Buddhist Wisdom for Challenging Times." Awesome read and very insightful.

This is a bit intellectual, but even then it's good because it offers an angle lots of people want to approach spirituality with. It's even gotten thumbs up from some pretty prominent American democratic politicians, which is not very common for a spiritual book(other than the Bible).
