What´s the most profound book you´ve ever read?

I can't think of a GREAT book written in the last ten years.

hmmm..... my answer is the same as one of my favorite 'Sting' songs...


"The Book Of My Life"

Let me watch by the fire and remember my days
And it may be a trick of the firelight
But the flickering pages that trouble my sight
Is a book I'm afraid to write

It's the book of my days, it's the book of my life
And it's cut like a fruit on the blade of a knife
And it's all there to see as the section reveals
There's some sorrow in every life

If it reads like a puzzle, a wandering maze
Then I won't understand 'til the end of my days
I'm still forced to remember,
Remember the words of my life

There are promises broken and promises kept
Angry words that were spoken, when I should have wept
There's a chapter of secrets, and words to confess
If I lose everything that I possess
There's a chapter on loss and a ghost who won't die
There's a chapter on love where the ink's never dry
There are sentences served in a prison I built out of lies.

Though the pages are numbered
I can't see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
In the book of my life

There's a chapter on fathers a chapter on sons
There are pages of conflicts that nobody won
And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat,
There's a page where we fail to meet

There are tales of good fortune that couldn't be planned
There's a chapter on god that I don't understand
There's a promise of Heaven and Hell but I'm damned if I see

Though the pages are numbered
I can't see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
In the book of my life

Now the daylight's returning
And if one sentence is true
All these pages are burning
And all that's left is you

Though the pages are numbered
I can't see where they lead
For the end is a mystery no-one can read
In the book of my life

~Sting



My Life

What’s it like "The lost star of myth and time?" Almost got it while in the states but was unsure.

One of them would be Path of Empowerment by Barbara Marciniak..

Someone wrote earlier that they could not find Manly P. Hall The Secret of all Ages.

Books I read at a very early age:
The Interuppted Journey by Betty and Barney Hill
The Story of O
Mad magazine(I hid them from my mother)
R Crumb comics
Salvador Dali's autobiography


Autobiography of a Yogi by Yogananda
The Phantom Tollbooth
Hamlet

How did it ope your eyes sociologically?

Did anyone mention "The Holographic Universe"?

Many people have said that they found that book to be increadably profound. It attempts to marry science and things we consider outside of science (from supernatural to spiritual).

and the messiah's handbook

to the Urantia book

Has to be MY PET GOAT. Couldn't pry myself away!

The problem with these books is: which book on alien channelings do you believe...there are soooo many.

Actually there are two things that had a life changing profundidity to me.

I was a pentacostal Christian for many years until I continued to see Christian leadership incapable of acting Christlike. That and the ineffectiveness of prayer moved me to find 2 articles that changed my life forever:

Ishmael

In Many Lives Many Masters, Dr Brian Wiess accidentally discovered while treating a patient for phobias that the lady had lived many lives, she went on to describe her past lives through many sessions. Dr. Weiss charted i think it was over 100 past lives and from there continued to discover more of this throuhg other patients. very intersting and mind boggling as well.
