My Reading Journey
Books are a form of sharing - one I have always enjoyed. They've also served as a mechanism of communication from Spirit as I have been frequently directed to specific books, and certain passages become highlighted for me. It has been rare that I search for a book to read - they have more often found me.
Below are a few of the books I found helpful and very influential along my journey towards discovering what a "True experience" is. I do want to note, that while I have read the full book for most of these - for one or two of them - it has been more about the passages I was directed to read. These two are the Bhagavad Gita and The Second Coming of Christ.
I encourage you to find those books that call to you - or find you. The messages you need to receive are likely not to be the same messages I needed.
What I am currently reading:
A Note on "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM): It is highly recommended that you start with Gary Renard's books. They prepare you to receive the messages pertained in the Text (Part 1) of the ACIM by laying them out in a more linear fashion.
If you choose to embark on this self-study program - know this is a course that will take time. Do not skip the Text and jump straight to the Workbook. Without reading the text, you will not gain the full understanding of what the workbook lessons are teaching. I found it helpful to read the clarification of terms first but follow what calls to you. Know this: the ego will try to lay its thought system over what ACIM presents, making you believe you understand it, when you do not. Be curious, have an open mind, be ready to be challenged, and be willing to completely lay aside your beliefs, attachments, and ego.
