Top 5 Books that have Impacted you the most

[annemirri]

I started my search for truth by reading the books by Erik Von Haniken in 1970s,

"The Inititation" by Elisabeth Haich opened the doors to ancient Egyptian mysteries, yoga,
to the powers of mind.

" Memories, Dreams and Reflections " by Carl Gustav Jung ,
unlocked the secrets of my unconciousness.

The books by Rauni Leena Luukainen Kilde about aliens, ufos, mind control, micro chipping etc.
were like books by an old friend. ( I once met her, and she said that I must be a true contactee...)

"Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paranhansa Yogananda is a fun book to read (if you skip the part where he is in America.)

with way more that 5000 books read its hard to make a distinct selection, particularily as books come with developemental seasons
some fairly season-free books might be:

seth material (aLL BOOKS)
Ra law of one
michaels messages
tolle a new earth
oneness speaks by rasha

except for seth (read in late 70s)
and michael (read in late 80s)
all read in the 21st century

That explains why you think you're an expert on everything

[Holly Lindin]

* "Conversations With God" (all volumes.), Neale Donald Walsch
* "The Secret", Rhonda Byrne
* "Creative Visualization", Shakti Gawain
* "Many Lives, Many Masters", Brian L. Weiss
* "The Power Of the Subconscious Mind", Dr. Joseph Murphy
* "Angel Medicine", Doreen Virtue
* "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom Of the Tao", Dr. Wayne D. Dyer
* "Healing Mantras", Thomas Ashley-Farrand

I totally couldn't pick just five.

Years ago I tried to read Zen and the art of motorcycle mechanics. I got just over half way before giving up. Apparently no one makes it too the end
Not surprised as it is rubbish. My advice for those of you that haven't tried to read it..... Don't bother

which one are you refering to? Zen or motocycles?

[Ross]

Thanks for the negative rep on my post

What neg rep are you talking about? and who wrote this? Ive looked and cant find what you are referring to?

Ross

[Anchor]

• Law of One - The Ra Material
• ET101
• The Wisdom Of Ramala
• Handbook for a New Paradigm (three volumes)
• BIBLE (KJV - new testament)

There are heaps more - 5 doesn't do it justice


Ross: As a moderator you can see all the reputation comments - and you can see who left them (which the non-moderators cant see). This is one of the reasons that reputation was turned off in the first run of it in the early days of PA1, you got a lot of abusive comments left anonymously (except the moderators could see who did it, and it was always the same people).

There is a book called Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. Sorry I thought it was mechanics

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values is the first of Robert M. Pirsig's texts in which he explores his Metaphysics of Quality. The 1974 book describes, in first person, a 17-day motorcycle journey across the United States by the author (though he is not identified in the book) and his son Chris, joined for the first nine days by close friends John and Sylvia Sutherland. The trip is punctuated by numerous philosophical discussions, referred to as Chautauquas by the author, on topics including epistemology, ethical emotivism and the philosophy of science.

It's not a good read

Some nameless person gave me bad rep with the little star thing on the left but weren't man enough to leave their name just a little comment
I don't have a problem with someone leaving me bad rep but they could at least leave their name

[morguana]

sorry swanny we coulnd work out what you were refering to, thanks john for that. well swanny seems to me that anyone willing to leave a negative comment without identifying themselves is behaving like a coward and really not worth bothering with.

[Fredkc]

serious book worm!!!!

I can't tell you what a relief it is to here that.

Wife thinks I'm strange because I usually have 2-3 going at once (she's right, but...). 2 on the den coffee table, and one in the loo. And you can't read 2 in the loo. God! What if you died there? I mean, it'd make the stories about Elvis seem tame.

Wife tells me my constant reading is due to a condition she calls, "Born with a hole in ya"
