"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.

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.

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

But really lifechanging
A few months ago I read

The Book on the taboo against knowing who you are
by Alan Watts


I recomend you read it on mescaline especially the last few chapters

Supernatural by Graham Hancock was an eye opener.  Before reading I knew nothing of ancient cave drawings in, for example, Pech Merle , and the way Mr. Hancock tied in these drawings with current reports of therianthropic beings  has changed the way I view life and existence, as well as plant induced visions.

Also thank you to those above who've given me new reading ideas, especially in Blind Ass' post.

I would also note The Teachings of Don Juan and The Singularity Is Near. All three were read around the same time by me. The Illumatus Trilogy by RAW really hit the hardest, though, and opened up the path for future understanding the most.

So many books have influenced me that Im only going to list what Ive been reading recently

The Secret and the Truth of the Ages by Mark Cordova -

This is an incredible book for anyone interested in gnosticism but who doesn't want to have to take the time reading and interpreting all the gnostic gospels. The writing is not very good but the ideas are so profound it is an amazing book.

Soma Shamans - this is an incredible book on how to use amanita muscaria mushrooms for spiritual growth.

Teachings of the Peyote shamans - I learned an amazing tool for directing attention in this book called the five points of attention. Im actually shocked this teaching isn't talked about more, since before reading this I had absolutely no idea what to do with my attention and constantly wasted it.

From a Broken Web - Zzrips recommended me this book. I am still not done reading it because it is not an easy read, and the ideas are very profound for me.

I only use the links that are automatic and free
ones that ask for registration often ask for credit card info
and are suspect
I just close them and move on
there's more than enough reading from the free ones

Behold the spirit by Alan watts. It met me where I was stuck in christianity and led me to more eastern minded thought. so now I'm more open open minded and like watts, I've become an alcoholic.

I recently read the "Journey of Socrates" by Dan Millman (same guy who wrote Peaceful Warrior) and that was definitely his best work in my opinion. I highly recommend reading the trilogy. Start with "Peaceful Warrior" then read "Journey of Socrates" and then "Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior". I just really resonated with Socrates and the story telling in that book is off the charts, unlike any of his other books. I Highly recommend!!!
Oh and yes of course "Autobiography of a Yogi"

I've never finished a book, maybe dr.seuss. The first half of Magicians or the God's by Graham Hanock was very eye opening

For me it was Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises.  I read it last year after a LONG hiatus from books and it got me hooked again.  I've been on a mad tear and have been reading one book per month ever since.

Recent and upcoming books...I just wrapped up The God Delusion yesterday and I picked up The Third Chimpanzee earlier tonight.

My Side of the Mountain. Don't bother with it now - it's essentially a children's book combining pared down elements of Walden with a Defoe adventure novel. I read it in elementary school, loved it, and it started me on a path of reading so many other things. I sometimes wonder if that would have happened if I'd passed it up. Maybe. But maybe not, at least not this way.

Also, yes, The Sun Also Rises. Incredibly written, relatively short, and densely packed with meaning. It will stay with you a long time.

It seems as each book has enough insight to change mind enough to see a change in life. A conversation with another is of enough significance to change life.  Is as a PinBall table, a bump here sends to here then on over to there, never in same order or direction as before, continually forward into what is of now.

"Everything there is, and all that there is, is a Pattern of unspeakable proportion. The Pattern contains everything that is, completely fixed in succession, all the minimal particles interconnected in every way that is. Every way that is is not every conceivable way, because not everything that can be conceived is manifest in the pattern."

"THE Human, you, is a miniscule but essential part of that pattern. In it lies complete fulfillment. It will never become something it is not, but it will never need to be anything else." - Wiccan_Seeker

"If boring drudgery was the way of the universe, everything would have killed itself long ago." - Spacerific
