A few simultaneously:
Jed McKenna's "Spiritually Incorrect Enlightenment" - Rare, oh so rare!
Stephen King's "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft." - Surprisingly intuitive exploration, King seems to have bled onto the page.
Thich Nhat Hanh's "Old Path White Clouds: Walking in the Footsteps of the Buddha." - Serene.
Thank you Vajra for sharing with us, and welcome.
I liked the way you said this: "King seems to have bled onto the page."
I've read pretty much all his works.
Ahhh, TNH - I have strongly resisted him for a long time. A clear indication to return. Thank you for "reminding" me ;-)
I just finished Spiritual Enlightement: The Damndest Thing,
and now onto Spiritual Warefare by Jed Mckenna...
Yes i know i skipped from book 1 to book 3, but I read book 2 before I read book 1 :P
Listening to Black House, the sequel to The Talisman, by Stephen King and Peter Straub at work.
Reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez before bed.
Pecking at Quantum Psychology: How Brain Software Programs You & Your World by Robert Anton Wilson, but finding it hard to stay engaged so it is slow going.
Ulysses - James Joyce
Self-Aware Universe - Goswami
(skipped much of the really technical stuff...this website is a good one for the same thing...http://faculty.virginia.edu/consciousness/)
Perfect Brilliant Stillness - Carse
(been drawn back to certain parts of this one)
First...this is SO cool. I love reading about what you are all reading about ;-)
I can start to see the interactions and commonality.
How wonderful!
I read Wilson't Illuminati trilogy years ago (and as a result have the # 23 tattooed on my arm lol)
I've tried Ulysses several times and it just couldn't keep my interest. Good for you Chuck!
We have the Carse book and my wife really liked it. I may have to look at it again.
cosmic trigger 2 - robert anton wilson
a stack of books by different authors on permaculture
i tried to read king's "the dome" last week but got so grossed out abotu a third of the way in i went to the end and just read the last chapter :) i'd forgotten how violent his writing is :)
I liked the carse book a lot, too. It's one of those that may or may not work for you. Kinda like the Jed books. Some people find him so obnoxious they can't get to the useful stuff other people totally dig.
The conversation with the "little girl" in the "room" with the "ant farm" in Under the Dome was one of the best times I've had reading King. And I've been loving him to pieces lately, though I've been a fan since I was 15. I've been reading with new eyes and I'm digging him even more than I did 10 years ago. The Dark Tower as metaphor totally rocks for me.
man I love Jed, his nature seems obnoxious but it really is just cutting straight to the point of things. He isn't really one to fool around or beat around the bush about anything but still makes it interesting from a story like perspective. He certainly knows how to come at someone from multiple angles and comes to the ones seeking his help to their next door at the level they need him at. To me, he seems like much more of a master then practically any other teacher (or master) that I've read.
Oh I also bought a book called "Energy Medicine" by Donna Eden, not sure why, maybe it caught my interest and it may of be of some use to me in the future. We shall see! =]
