The Course of Training - Living in the Truth of the Present Moment

This was one of my first books in Siddha Yoga, yet it remains as true to my meditation practice as ever. Such is the power of the words of a Siddha—they can also give us an experience of what they are speaking. In this book, Swami Muktananda encourages us to turn our attention within and discover the radiant inner world. Baba gives clear and authoritative answers to such timeless questions as: Who am I, really? How can I master my mind? What is the value of meditation? “The best object of meditation is the inner Self,” Baba tells us. “When the Self is the goal of meditation, why should we choose another object? If we want to experience the Self, we should meditate on the Self.”

The Way of Liberation by Adyashanti

More and more people are waking up spiritually. And for most of them, the question becomes: Now what? “Information about life after awakening is usually not made public,” explains Adyashanti. “It’s most often shared only between teachers and their students.” The End of Your World is his response to a growing need for direction on the spiritual path. Consider this Adyashanti’s personal welcome to “a new world, a state of oneness.”

Nisargadatta Maharaj was a teacher who did not propound any ideology or religion, but gently unwrapped the mystery of the Self. His message was simple, direct, and sublime. I Am That preserves his dialogs with the followers who came from around the world seeking guidance in destroying false identities. The sage's sole concern was with the human suffering and the ending of suffering. It was his mission to guide the individual to an understanding of his true nature and the timelessness of being. He taught that the mind must recognize and penetrate its own state of being--not "being this or that, here or there, then or now," but just timeless being.

Who are you? Are you a physical body? A collection of experiences and memories? This wonderful book explains very simply yet also profoundly and impactfully many of the aspects at the intersection between daily and spiritual life. During that first year after Seana, I made a gift of it to about 25 of our closest friends.

I find it fits effortlessly alongside my own path, exploring the question of who we are, and arriving at much the same conclusion—that our eternal identity is to be found inside us in our own Awareness. By tapping into traditions of meditation and mindfulness, Singer offers a highly accessible glimpse into how putting our attention onto our awareness can enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and self-realization.

This book meant so much to me after my wife's sudden passing. It's written by a psychologist who took people to see the greater arc of their soul’s journey—their ‘lives between lives.’ That doctor was Dr. Michael Newton, and this is my favorite of his series.

At the time, reading it had a profound effect on my growing understanding of the greater arc and provided an immense sense of peace. It dovetailed perfectly with my own teacher’s descriptions explaining about life after death, why we choose certain bodies, karmic connections, etc.

Above all, it soothed my mind and helped me make sense of a larger purpose for being here. Through 70 case histories of real people who were regressed into their ‘lives between lives,’ Dr. Newton reveals life continuing on the other side, ways that spirits connect with and comfort the living, and much more. It can be borrowed for free from most libraries.
