    Thanks so much pumashared for this great thread!, I really love the posts, its always great to find great stuff to learn and read.
    Lots of book did it for me and still do, I am reading "The O Manuscript" right now, read it twice and its inspiring me to go do my own pilgrimage at Montsegur in France. I leave for 2 months next month...
    other than that well there are a few:
    "Freedom from the Known" -Krishnamurti
    "Destiny of souls"-Newton
    "Black Elk Speaks"
    "78 degrees of wisdom"- Rachel Pollak

    please forgive me for not noting all the authors, my books are in boxes right now, I just moved once again...

    So basically since a very young age, I did not see the world as most people did. Never accepted what was told and thought of who we are, and so these books opened me up to what is behind the curtain...

    Oh yes, and how could I forget, The Twelfth Planet series by Zecharia Sitchin. I couldn't put them down until I read the last word of the last book.
    Also, The Genesis of the Cosmos- Paul A. LaViolette, Ph.D. I don't agree with his view of the zodiac as it relates to creation. I've spent the past two years researching to try to prove him wrong. I have quite a bit of evidence but, still have holes in some areas; creationis a big study! (The esoteric teachings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are a quagmire and investigating the tarot origins is just as bad!) I do agree with him that originally astrology had nothing to do with psychology or individual predictions. (In fact, I feel that our society is overlaid with B.S. psychological principles and that is part of what is wrong on this planet at this time).
    I'll probably find some opponents to my views, and that's the way it goes...

    I'd have to say that there were three specific books that I read as a child that impacted my entire life.
    They are:
    "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'engle
    "Esoteric Christianity" by Annie Besant
    "Anthem" by Ayn Rand

    These three books led me (at a very young age) to the conclusion that there was some pretty spectacular possibilities available for mankind...that there was probably a small group of people who already knew about them...and that if the rest of us didn't figure it out we'd be screwed.

    Chariots of the Gods by Erich von Daniken (video and book)
    Strategie der Gotter by Erich von Daniken (Strategy of the gods, german version, cant find a translation)
    Celestine prophecy by James Redfield

    And Most of All;
    Buitenaardse Beschaving by Stephan Denaerde (operation survival earth)

    Chariots of the Gods really opened my eyes to the possibility of extraterrestrial influence on human devellopment en archeological anomalies

    Strategie der Gotter explained how a temple in south America is described in the bible (wich EvD visited and messured to check if true) and was build by 2 tribes out of Israel who moved there with assistence of UFOnauts, these tribes also mentioned in mormom book.

    Celestine Prophecy describes how insights found in a temple in peru (see Strategie der gotter) influence human behaviour. these insights are written in a language of the ancient middle east.

    Buitenaardse beschaving (or Operation survival Earth) describes a meeting between a man from Earth with an alien race that is observing Earth, and who give him information on how these beings organised their world, and what the meaning of life is and what we will evolve towards.

    Although i read countless other books, the 4 books I describe here have influenced me the most, made me see life in a whole different way than before. ( I can hardly remember now how i was before reading these books )
    Examine all things and retain the good.

    Animal Farm: This book really taught me to recognize hierarchies and power structures. Probably read this book 3 or 4 times a year at least.

    These have had much influence on my mind!
    Flying-Saucers-Straight-Line-Mystery (1954 UFO wave)
    author, Aime Michel
    This book caused me to dive into a 3 year UFO map plotting project!
    Great book!

    'Master of the Five Magics' Set of 6 Novels by Lyndon Hardy
    It is the first of a trilogy set in the same world;
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyndon_Hardy

    the second book is Secret of the Sixth Magic and the third Riddle of the Seven Realms.
    While the books feature different characters,
    each explores, in successively more detail, the same system of magic.

    The final part is entitled "The Archimage" and corresponds to Alodar's mastery of all other forms of magic.

    (Lyndon Hardy, He is a member of the Science Fiction Writers of America.[1] He attended California Institute of Technology as an undergraduate and the University of California Berkeley for his Ph.D.[2]
    In his college years he became fascinated with fantasy-dom. Outside of being a fantasy author, he has correlated work with the New Zealand Geology Society, started an Artificial Intelligence Company named Alodar Inc., and helped develop the Isis intelligence tool for medical research. He has two daughters and is married.
    In 1961, Hardy masterminded the Great Rose Bowl Hoax, in which Caltech students rearranged the cards used by Washington to spell out words during half-time.)
    Great read and interesting author!

    Conversations With God changed my life at a time when i most needed it and has led me down
    a long road of discovery.
    But the most important book in terms of real, practical life altering change is A Course In Miracles.
    While i no longer beleive in Conversations With God it was the book that led me here.

    reading is my favorite thing to do. im wondering what book you guys read that changed your life for the better.
    I was very young. I remember sitting in front of my house on the sidewalk reading this book as a young boy. It was my first real introduction into the 'one consciousness' and I found it at the time to be very revealing not so much in actual content but it wet my taste buds wanting more and ignited the search. I couldn't have been much more than 8 when I was introduced to this and it was the first of many that led to further learning and growing. I can't really say I have this book any longer. I may still have it in the attic with my stuff at home in the old homestead my mother still lives in but since you asked. :-) http://www.amazon.com/Amazing-Laws-C...mic+mind+power
