the Holy Bible

Have any favorite passages? I find Genesis 19 very inspiring especially as told in the video below.

My collection of metaphysical books reached over 3K. Favorite has to be Unveiled Mysteries 1934 by Godfre Ray King. Godfré Ray King (pseudonym for Guy Warren Ballard 1878-1939) was an American mining engineer who was the founder of the "I Am" Activity. He visited Mount Shasta in 1930, where he met another hiker who identified himself as Saint Germain. Affter several surreal experiences he created the St. Germain foundation which still exist today. Most important book would be "Home With God" by Neale Donald Walsch 2006 which has me at peace ever since.

Have you read any of the Jane Roberts' series?

I have some of her books and consider her must read but never got to them. I don't read much anymore except for what I receive in emails. I am a big fan of owen waters at infinitebeingdotcom. I have several pages of saved emails from him receiving many. Also like emails from Aluna from alunajoy.

There is but one and when one realizes this they will be at home.

For the very first time... Owen Waters on video!Time is different in the physical realm, the spirit realm and the soul realm.

There have been so many questions about how people can choose any time of the day to be a part of the daily group attunement on the 2012 Transformation course that it warrants this 6-minute explanation on Youtube.

Yes, you do have an inbuilt time travel capability. Find out how...

25th Hour

[pronk]

Anything by Hemingway, Gogol, Dumas, Cooper, Dostoevsky, Twain, London, Mellville, Poe, Fitzgerald, Stowe, Dickens, Hashek and Korchak.

[tenbas]

Der Zauberberg by Thomas Mann. Literature peaks here.

[shooterman]

Skagboys by Irvine Welsh
Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh
Must put some translating effort into these reads but hacking through the Scottish lingo is well worth it. Trainspotting has an index of common Scottish jargon which will help. Very unique and gifted writer.

I've been on a short stories kick lately. Just finished 'When the Nines Roll Over' by David Benioff. Good book.

[JohnGalt2341]

I recently finished reading

This book was excellent. I highly recommend it to everyone. "Why Government fails but Individuals succeed" is exactly what this book is about.

[SteelRain]

Crime and Punishment is my all time favourite followed closely by The Brothers Karamazov and The Gambler, all by the same author Fyodor Dostoevsky

right now i'm reading The 10,000 Year Explosion by Gregory Cochran

next on my reading list is The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

[easyliving]

all quiet on the western front. Changed my perspective on wars forever

[Believeland]

Stay golden pony boy the outsiders

Count of monte christo...

2 books I read in school growing up I didn't mind reading

[CarpeDime]

The Turner Diaries by Andrew Macdonald
White Power by George Lincoln Rockwell

both life-changing must-read books, probably the two greatest works of literature in the past 50 years

after those two, many others I'd recommend but as far as favorites, there is a class of there own

[smitch124]

Der Zauberberg by Thomas Mann. Literature peaks here.

Assuming you didn't read it in its original German, which translation would you recommend?

[smitch124]

bump, always enjoy new recommendations, and has anyone ever read Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter? If so, what did you think of it?

[stevenash]

Most anything from Vonnegut
Breakfast of Champions
Jailbird

The list is endless

[stevenash]

Crime and Punishment is my all time favourite

Read the Norton edition in college, took me about 2 months to finish it off.

[smitch124]

bump, any new suggestions?

[TheRifleman]

Milton Friedman ' Capitaliism and Freedom"

Paulo Coelho " The Alchemist"

[C-Gold]

BUMP. I am sick of what's on TV. Lots of good suggestions in this thread. I will rec a few.

Bringing down the House - It inspired the movie "21" and obviously the book was better than the movie. It is the story of the MIT blackjack team. I read this book even before I read books and I loved it. Maybe this book and Moneyball I read in pretty much one sitting. You gamblers will love it.

The ascent of money by Niall Ferguson. Looking at history through a lens of money & finance. From the Roman Empire, Medici family, Rothschilds, to modern stuff.

Kite Runner. Was popular a few years ago. Book sounds stupid but is a tale about kids/picking on each other, messed up stuff and having to live through it. Book is well written and comes together.

John Galt PM me I have some books you'd like.

[nflcapperohyeah]

all the books by Ann Rule - the best true crime writer ever. Her first book was "The Stranger Beside Me" about Ted Bundy.

[nflcapperohyeah]

[Dutch]

Excellent book.

[Sawyer]

The ROOT and Reason of my Success..

[smitch124]

The book that inspired the movie, "Lincoln" is excellent. I am starting a book about FDR by the same authors.

[zizoudane10]

all quiet on the western front. Changed my perspective on wars forever

Great great book.

I've read so many great books over the years, impossible to name a favorite.

Claude Cueni - Das große Spiel (The Great Game) is a great read. Especially for us Gamblers. It's about John Law, google the name if you dont know him.

[C-Gold]

25th hour by David Beneoff. Pretty boy is about to go to jail for 7 years for slinging rocks. It's his last day in NY. The book has sex, violence, and is entertaining.

[JohnGalt2341]

I just finished reading It's a very interesting book about why people often make irrational decisions. If you like authors like Malcolm Gladwell, Dan Areily, or Daniel Kahneman you should definitely check this book out.

[ChalkyDog]

The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never ill; they're not afraid of death; they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they're plagued with no mothers or fathers; they've got no wives, or children, or lovers to feel strongly about; they're so conditioned that they practically can't help behaving as they ought to behave. And if anything should go wrong, there's soma.

And for just a moment I had reached the point of ecstasy that I always wanted to reach, which was the complete step across chronological time into timeless shadows, and wonderment in the bleakness of the mortal realm, and the sensation of death kicking at my heels to move on, with a phantom dogging its own heels, and myself hurrying to a plank where all the angels dove off and flew into the holy void of uncreated emptiness, the potent and inconceivable radiancies shining in bright Mind Essence, innumerable lotus-lands falling open in the magic mothswarm of heaven. I could hear an indescribable seething roar which wasn't in my ear but everywhere and had nothing to do with sounds. I realized that I had died and been reborn numberless times but just didn't remember because the transitions from life to death and back are so ghostly easy, a magical action for naught, like falling asleep and waking up again a million times, the utter casualness and deep ignorance of it.

-----

• At the stroke of midnight in Washington, a drooling red-eyed beast with the legs of a man and a head of a giant hyena crawls out of its bedroom window in the South Wing of the White House and leaps fifty feet down to the lawn...pauses briefly to strangle the Chow watchdog, then races off into the darkness...towards the Watergate, snarling with lust, loping through the alleys behind Pennsylvania Avenue, and trying desperately to remember which one of those fore hundred identical balconies is the one outside of Martha Mitchell's apartment....Ah...Nightmares, nightmares. But I was only kidding. The President of the United States would never act that weird. At least not during football season.

I recently read Intuition: It's Powers and Perils by David G. Myers.

I highly recommend this book to everyone at SBR. It just might help you figure out why all those "guaranteed locks" are no better than a coin flip for the most part.
