...recommend me some books on "nowness", the present moment, reality.

Im not looking for texts about how to live my life, Im looking for philisophical and/or spiritual writings on this subject.

Thanks :wink:

"Be Here Now", possibly? Anything relating to Buddhism should be close to what you're looking for.

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 heartily recommend the former as well!  And I haven't read Tolle's The Power of Now, but its successor A New Earth was really helpful for me in laying out a groundwork of basic practices for remaining present and aware. :flowerchild:

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”
