How I found the Goddess (and what I did to her once I found her.)
    #18952738 - 10/09/13 03:07 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I was reading through "The Illuminatus! Trilogy" by Bob Shea and R.A.W. today and thinking about how it may be the single most subversive piece of literature I've ever read.
  I can truthfully say it definitely changed how I look at my reality, and the realities of those around myself. 
What are some pieces of literature that changed your outlook on life/spirituality? 
I'd also like to leave an excerpt that particularly sticks out in my mind.
Quote:

While far above the highest mountains in California another aspect of my consciousness soars like a winged poetry: and knows, somehow, more about what is coming that Dr. Troll's Seismograph: for I am the last, truly the last. The ecologists are right: mine is not merely an endangered but nearly an extinct species, and my senses have been sharpened beyond instinct by these last years.  I circle around, I circle around, I soar: I bank: I float. I am, rare moment for me! Not thinking about fish, for my belly is full at present. I circle around, circle around, thinking only about the soaring, the freedom, and more vaguely, about the bad vibes coming up from below.  Must you have a name?  Call me Hali One, then: haliaeetus leucocephalus the last: symbol once of imperial Rome and now of imperial America: of which I neither know nor care, for all I know is the freedom of my estate and about that the Romans and the Americans have never had aught but the most confused and distorted ideas.  Wearing my long green feathers I circle around. I am Hali One and I scream, not with rage or with fear or with anger; I scream echoes from mountain to another mountain, resonating onward and onward, a sound that only another of my species could understand, and none are left to hear it.  But still I scream: the shriek of Shiva the Destroyer, true face of Vishnu the Preserver and Brahma the Creator: for my scream is not of life or death but of life-in-death, and I am equally contemptuous of Perri and of August Personage, of squirrels and of men, and of all lesser birds who cannot ascend to my height and know the agony and supremacy of my freedom.

Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death.
Tomorrow, when resurrection comes,
The heart that is not in love will fail the test.

~ Rumi



The day we start giving Love instead of seeking Love, we will have re-written our whole destiny.
~ Swami Chinmayanada Saraswatir
