Very much so. I've just found out Siddharta is from 1922 (most Europoeans of the 1920-s couldn't even spell yoga or meditation...) That's half a century ahead of its time. H. Hesse was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1946 www.nobelprize.org/nobel_pri...ureates/1946/ I didn't know that while reading the book, decades ago, but it made a deep impression; I read it only only 5 yrs. after I had added meditation to my practice.
Yesterday, I read a touching short story, by a doctor, on living in reconciliation, not just preaching it. An eye-opener on one's conditioning and preconceptions.
The last book I read was a book written by our very own Bewell from here at the forums and it was fantastic (not sure of the title). He wrote it in the early months of 2012 on a writing retreat and I highly recommend it to anyone here. I'm sure if you send him a private message through his profile here at the forum he will send you a PDF copy. It positively reeks of authenticity and I'm sure that anyone who gives it a chance will not be disappointed.
Adyashanti/The end of your world... bought it yesterday...now in chapter 2 .... simple and down to earth...reminded me a lot about ayp self enquiry lessons
I am on the 7th Book in the Carlos Castaneda series. Totally amazing stuff. It too brings us back to the importance of "stopping the internal dialogue"; cultivating inner silence (it actually uses the word "inner silence")and living impeccably (with non-attachment)
What are you reading?
