Suggested Reading
The question is, “where do you start with your reading?” And the answer is: “start somewhere”. Your experiential work will only be sustained with your own personal inquiry and study. The “bold” titles are books that men frequently mention. These books are not intended to conform you to a particular philosophy but to awaken you to the possibilities of the sacred within you. The list does not include some newer books. We will supplement the list shortly.
