"influenced by Eva and John Pierrakos, who founded a system for self-transformation called the Pathwork, drawing on the ideas of Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen. Brennan worked with the Pierrakos, and became a Pathwork Helper and Core Energetics therapist"

Not easy to find anymore online.

The Turning Point: Fritjof Capra

"Whereas the hidden variables in classical physics are local mechanisms, those in quantum physics are nonlocal; they are instantaneous connections to the universe as a whole. In the ordinary; macroscopic world nonlocal connections are relatively unimportant, and thus we can speak of separate objects and formulate the laws of physics in terms of certainties. But as we go to smaller dimensions, the influence of nonlocal connections becomes stronger; here the laws of physics can be formulated only in terms of probabilities, and it becomes more and more difficult to separate any part of the universe from the whole"

well the first one was by Alan Watts titled Cloudhidden Whereabouts Unknown. It was found several years post my  VERY life-changing LSD trips in my 15th year (ie I had them when I was a 15 year old). I had needed some help with integration and had gone through quite a few authors who just didn't do it, and then I found that book and nearly read it in the shop before I got it. Why? because he is SO eloquent, and unpretentious, and knows how to get complex ideas across, and it was his explaining polar-relational reality which really gelled with my psychedelic experience and general reality. How you cannot have light without dark, or know  light without dark and vice verse, and life without death etc etc etc.

nice dude, how you ever listened/watched a old program called "Thinking Allowed" with Mishlove(sp?)

he does an interview about the book, and he hosts tons of talks with others about various interesting topics with the top of humanities minds.

Mine is The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson.

A Course in Miracles is the most profound book I've ever read.

It didn't change my life in the sense that it taught me something, rather it confirmed and reminded me of everything I already knew in the core of my being, but had forgotten.

I don't speak highly of things in this way and the author as it happens, doesn't take credit to be commended, since she proposed to be a mere scribe of Christ.

Illusions by Richard Bach. Also, Ishmael by Daniel Quinn was pretty revolutionary for my brain.

I found 'Ascent of Humanity' by Charles Eisenstein to be full of great ideas that helped shift my views on things :smile:

Also 'New Self, New World' by Philip Shepherd is great (though I haven't finished reading it) - full of great insights :smile:
