Spiritual awareness books?

lukesmom

Have read a few books on spirituality but am interested to know what your favourite one is? The one you revert back to that you found very helpful. Am feeling a little out of sync and could do with reading something new that could help me with being positive and uplifting.
Thanks

The best I experienced was, to just go into the bookshop and "feel" which books jumps into your eyes...that always helped me!

A Course in Miracles

I have read it maybe 10 times over last 15 years, it is overtly Christian which I am not, so I just replace the words God with Love and Christ with Light and that works for me.

I've also read quite a few over the last number of years, but my favourite is 'The Road Less Travelled'. There's a lot to digest in it, but it just makes so much sense XXX

Spiritual study and reading are very much like food it needs a varied and interesting menu until you find a spiritual path that really appeals to you and calls you to go deeper in such a way that you feel only a need to understand the path and share it with others.I am very happy to share information on spiritual reading that many people have found helpful.

I travelled back to my hippy / new age roots when my brother loaned me two Carlos Castenada books, The Wheel of Time and Tales of Power.

To readers not familiar with his work I suggest starting with The Wheel of Time as it is both enlightening and very funny in parts.

A logical companion to any of Carlos's books would probably be The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying by Sogyal Rinpoche.

The greatest modern spiritual book I ever found was Meditations on the Tarot ...

Rather than repeat myself, I will just paste in something I said at another thread:

Roger Buck wrote: »

I have read hundreds of esoteric books, from Alice Bailey, Rudolf Steiner, the Theosophists, Western hermeticists, astrology etc.

Out of all of these the most important one was Meditations on the Tarot.

This is also a book that could conceivably appeal to Irish people who have not rejected their Catholic roots.

For the author is both a Catholic and a hermeticist ...

So two worlds are present in this book that do not usually interact: the esoteric and Catholicism.

The Church's response is striking. The theologian Balthasar elected a cardinal by John Paul II wrote:

"A thinking, praying Christian of unmistakable purity reveals to us the symbols of Christian Hermeticism in its various levels of mysticism, gnosis and magic, taking in also the Cabbala and certain elements of astrology and alchemy.

These symbols are summarised in the twenty-two so-called "Major Arcana" of the Tarot cards.

By way of the Major Arcana the author seeks to lead meditatively into the deeper, all-embracing wisdom of the Catholic Mystery."


If anyone is interested in more regarding this book, here is a review of it at my onsite:

One I keep returning too is called "Mans Search for Meaning" by Viktor E Frankl. An essential and influential book that hits like a hammer whilst still remaining practical. Highly recommended.
I also recommend "The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution" by Ouspensky.
