    And this poem

    Heavenly Grass

    My feet took a walk in heavenly grass.
    All day while the sky shone clear as glass.
    My feet took a walk in heavenly grass,
    All night while the lonesome stars rolled past.
    Then my feet come down to walk on earth,
    And my mother cried when she give me birth.
    Now my feet walk far and my feet walk fast,
    But they still got an itch for heavenly grass.
    But they still got an itch for heavenly grass.

    Tennessee Williams

    I think that's pretty much it, I might add two more if I can think of them, but those three really changed my life and perspective quite profoundly.

    Several of the more recent books which have turned the world upside down for me:

    'Supernatural' by Graham Hancock. Read 2006, consider this book 'the trigger' for realizing that consciousness IS the thing. Started an obsessive search for my truth.

    'Seth Speaks' by Jane Roberts. This blew a great big hole in reality as I thought I perceived it.

    'Convoluted Universe' series by Dolores Cannon. The hole just keeps getting bigger.

    All in all, it's been quite fun.

    A bunch of downers actually but i have always been fascinated by how the elite are able to operate in secret. I thought maybe by studying their dark deeds i could find a weakness of theirs. The research continues of course...

    There are two other books that have been amazing in my life, and one is called, "Lessons from a sheep dog" by Keller and the other is called "Hinds feet in high places" by Hurnall which is a beautiful allegory.

    Thanks for sharing the books everyone. Oh, one more that I loved was by Starhawk and it's called, "The fifth sacred thing". An absolutely wonderful book!

    Quote Posted by Gestalt (here)
    I would like to start a thread where people can post the top 5 books that have had the greatest impact on them in their lives, and a brief description of the importance of said books. I think this would be a great way to see what people value, and what information has shaped their opinions and world views. As well inherently what books you would recommend to others to read as well. (Note: This could be a series of books by a single author, or a collection of material as well.)

    For me the following books have had the greatest impact on my life thus far (in a somewhat loose order of importance):

    1. The Seth Material - Channeled by Jane Roberts
    The Seth material in its entirety is probably the greatest metaphysical works ever written. The material is highly complex and philosophical and discusses the fundamental spiritual nature of reality. All the material has been archived at Yale library.

    2. Conversations with God - Books 1,2 & 3 by Neale Donald Walsch
    I was an extreme fundamentalist Christian for the first 18 or so years of my life until I read these books. They changed my entire perspective on reality through logic and gave me an alternative philosophical model by which I live my life now. The single greatest impact from these books on me has been the explanation on reincarnation.

    3. Fingerprints of the Gods by Graham Hancock
    My first introduction into the field of alternative models on history, unorthodox methodology and thinking. I read this book when I was 13 and thereafter questioned the orthodox, or dogmas of everything mainstream there after. This book got me questioning and inquiring about advanced ancient civilizations as well as extraterrestrials.

    4. Hunt for Zero Point by Nick Cook
    I first learned about Zero Point energy from this book, forever shaping my educational and career path and my goals in life; to develop free energy.

    5. The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
    This book probably would better have been titled a 'Treatise on the Ego'. Possibly the best book every written on the Ego in simple terms, and how to achieve a mental state of joy by releasing negative egotistical thought patterns. This book I believe is the ultimate tool for achieving blissful meditation as well. The explanations in this book are worth their weight in gold.


    What are the 5 books that have impacted you the most in your life?
    *Please try to keep this thread relatively clear of discussion allowing people to post their responses.
    2 out of 5 aint bad. Almost a Meatloaf song!
