My personal favorites:

Novels:

- Michael Ende: The Neverending Story
- Herman Hesse: The Glass Bead Game
- Frank Herbert: Dune
- Isaac Asimov: The Foundation series
- Philip K. Dick: V.A.L.I.S.
- Philip K. Dick: Divine Invasion
- Philip K. Dick: A Maze of Death
- Carl Sagan: Contact

Spiritual literature:

- Chögyam Trungpa: Shambhala - Sacred Path of the Warrior
- Chögyam Trungpa: Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism
- Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Now

+ anything by Jiddu Krishnamurti.

The following treatises had a great impact on me when I read them about 8 years ago. Now I find them slightly "suspicious" (trapped in duality?), but someone out there may like them, so:

- Servers of the Divine Plan
- The New Call

Both of these can be downloaded for free from http://www.thenewcall.org/book_download.htm

Channeled material (also suspicious, but full of inspiring ideas):

- The Mission of the One Star - freely downloadable from http://www.alloya.com/
- Seth (Jane Roberts)
- Pleiadians (Barbara Marciniak)
- Johannes Greber: Communication with the Spirit World of God

The Holographic Universe by Micheal Talbot....excellent.

Also, although i dont really like fiction, you gotta give props to the Celelstine Prophecy. It struck a chord and is one of the things that lead me down the proverbial spiritual path.

Defo gonna be looking into Cosmic Trigger at some poit too, been meaning to get that for while. Thanks for the link slide winder. Now i can read it at work : )
Am reading Supernatural by Hancock atm, very interesting.

This one is also to be added to the "to read" list

Yes definitely agree with The Holographic Universe...2/3 of the way through and am really digging it...

One River - Wade Davis
The Cosmic Serpent - Jeremy Narby
True Hallucinations - Terrence McKenna
The Shamanic Way of the Bee - Simon Buxton
Ayahuasca Visions: The Religious Iconography of a Peruvian Shaman - Pablo Amaringo & Eduardo Luna
A Scanner Darkly - Philip K Dick

...a few of the books I've read in the last few years that made an impression in particular.

Good one!! that flipped my brain inside out ... think it was vol 2 or sthn.

I would add:

Supernatural by Graham Hancock

The Four Agreements / Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz - may not be to everyones taste but has def helped me and some of my friends. A bit cheesy and repetetive at times, but lots of wisdom IMO.

Blackfoot Physics (forgot author) - this one opened my mind a lot when I was at school. Bought it when looking for physics books for my A-level revision.
balaganist is a fictional character who loves playing the game of infinite existence. he amuses himself by posting stories about his made up life in our plane of physical reality. his origins are in other dimensions... he merely comes here to play.

Left in the Dark by Graham Gynn + Tony Wright is a must read.

Also my favourite work of fiction, "Island" by Aldous Huxley. It's a very beatiful counter story to brave new world and was very inspiring for myself.

Great idea for a sticky, Swims always looking for new interesting books to read.
Swim enjoyed "Be here now" by Ram Dass
The hand drawn aesthetic really pulled me in. Lots of potent spiritual quotes to get your mind reeling.

Also "Dark Night, Early Dawn: Steps to a Deep Ecology of Mind" by Christopher Bache. (recommended by Shulgin)
The universe is an infinite harmony of vibrating beings in an elaborate range of expansion-contraction ratios, frequency modulations, and so forth.

Oh Oh, i forgot another really good one:
Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness by Itzhack Bentov.

Here is alink to a video interview with the dude where he explains the principles within the book.
When I watched it the whole thing used to be on google vids, but now i can only seem to find it on VEOH or TRUVEO, and they only seem to show the first 5minutes. If anyone knows a way around this then its certainly worth a watch.

Hello Everyone,

Tell me this guy does NOT smoke DMT! I'm 100 or so pages into Rudy Rucker's "Postsingular." It is FILLED with tryptamine/hyperspace/mind expansion/tripping references.

Beware though, if you have not read Rucker or if you are not a singularity/nanotech/gray goo/etc. freak, this may be a bit of a reach.

Also, though not explicitly filled with the above-type references, I found Peter Hamilton's "Night's Dawn" trilogy to be very trippy and very evocative of my psychelic encounters in the "realm of the dead." This Great-Britain trilogy has been split into 6 books for the American audience. The first one is called "The Reality Dysfunction." Perfect, ne?

Hope you all enjoy!

Peace & Love,
Pandora

Hey all,

I've just finished reading the novel: The End of Mr Y by Scarlett Thomas. It is mainly about a 'hyperspace' that allows people to step into others minds. A really good read of fiction.

On a spiritual note i have also just read inner paths to outer space as recommended by The Traveler. I really good read.

Peace all and i will be checking out some of the other books mentioned. I love reading Smile

Recent books that I've read that have been interesing/inspiring...

The Law of One, Channeled material by Ra http://www.llresearch.or.../the_law_of_one_pdf.aspx
The Universe in a Single Atom by Dalai Lama
The Holographic Universe by Michael Talbot
Promethius Rising by Robert Anton Wilson
DMT the Spirit Molecule by Rick Strassman
The Singularity is Near by Ray Kurzweil

Guilty Pleasures...

The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan
A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R R Martin.

Man I love a good read! Very happy
What, you ask, was the beginning of it all?
And it is this...

Existence that multiplied itself
For sheer delight of being
And plunged into numberless trillions of forms
So that it might
Find
Itself
Innumerably.
-Sri Aubobindo

Saidin is a fictional character, and only exists in the collective unconscious. Therefore, we both do and do not exist. Everything is made up as we go along, and none of it is real.
