I'll start with Robert Anton Wilson's Cosmic Trigger

http://www.scribd.com/do...-of-the-Illuminati-OCRed

My personal favorites:

Novels:

- Michael Ende: The Neverending Story
- Herman Hesse: The Glass Bead Game
- Frank Herbert: Dune
- Isaac Asimov: The Foundation series
- Philip K. Dick: V.A.L.I.S.
- Philip K. Dick: Divine Invasion
- Philip K. Dick: A Maze of Death
- Carl Sagan: Contact

Spiritual literature:

- Chögyam Trungpa: Shambhala - Sacred Path of the Warrior
- Chögyam Trungpa: Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism
- Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Now

+ anything by Jiddu Krishnamurti.

The following treatises had a great impact on me when I read them about 8 years ago. Now I find them slightly "suspicious" (trapped in duality?), but someone out there may like them, so:

- Servers of the Divine Plan
- The New Call

Both of these can be downloaded for free from http://www.thenewcall.org/book_download.htm

Channeled material (also suspicious, but full of inspiring ideas):

- The Mission of the One Star - freely downloadable from http://www.alloya.com/
- Seth (Jane Roberts)
- Pleiadians (Barbara Marciniak)
- Johannes Greber: Communication with the Spirit World of God

+ Ken Wilber: A Brief History of Everything
+ Stanislav Grof: Realms of the Human Unconscious - Observations from LSD research

The Holographic Universe by Micheal Talbot....excellent.

Also, although i dont really like fiction, you gotta give props to the Celelstine Prophecy. It struck a chord and is one of the things that lead me down the proverbial spiritual path.

Defo gonna be looking into Cosmic Trigger at some poit too, been meaning to get that for while. Thanks for the link slide winder. Now i can read it at work : )
Am reading Supernatural by Hancock atm, very interesting.

This one is also to be added to the "to read" list
http://www.amazon.co.uk/...s-Alvarius/dp/1594772991

Yes definitely agree with The Holographic Universe...2/3 of the way through and am really digging it...

One River - Wade Davis
The Cosmic Serpent - Jeremy Narby
True Hallucinations - Terrence McKenna
The Shamanic Way of the Bee - Simon Buxton
Ayahuasca Visions: The Religious Iconography of a Peruvian Shaman - Pablo Amaringo & Eduardo Luna
A Scanner Darkly - Philip K Dick

...a few of the books I've read in the last few years that made an impression in particular.

Good one!! that flipped my brain inside out ... think it was vol 2 or sthn.

I would add:

Supernatural by Graham Hancock

The Four Agreements / Voice of Knowledge by Don Miguel Ruiz - may not be to everyones taste but has def helped me and some of my friends. A bit cheesy and repetetive at times, but lots of wisdom IMO.

Blackfoot Physics (forgot author) - this one opened my mind a lot when I was at school. Bought it when looking for physics books for my A-level revision.

Left in the Dark by Graham Gynn + Tony Wright is a must read.

Also my favourite work of fiction, "Island" by Aldous Huxley. It's a very beatiful counter story to brave new world and was very inspiring for myself.

I made a Sticky out of this one.

Novels:
* Greg Bear: The Forge of God
* Greg Bear: Eon

Spiritual:
* Inner Paths to Outer Space: Journeys to Alien Worlds through Psychedelics and Other Spiritual Technologies

Great idea for a sticky, Swims always looking for new interesting books to read.
Swim enjoyed "Be here now" by Ram Dass
The hand drawn aesthetic really pulled me in. Lots of potent spiritual quotes to get your mind reeling.

Also "Dark Night, Early Dawn: Steps to a Deep Ecology of Mind" by Christopher Bache. (recommended by Shulgin)

Oh Oh, i forgot another really good one:
Stalking the Wild Pendulum: On the Mechanics of Consciousness by Itzhack Bentov.

Here is alink to a video interview with the dude where he explains the principles within the book.
When I watched it the whole thing used to be on google vids, but now i can only seem to find it on VEOH or TRUVEO, and they only seem to show the first 5minutes. If anyone knows a way around this then its certainly worth a watch.

+ Luke Rheinhart: The Dice Man

Hello Everyone,

Tell me this guy does NOT smoke DMT! I'm 100 or so pages into Rudy Rucker's "Postsingular." It is FILLED with tryptamine/hyperspace/mind expansion/tripping references.

Beware though, if you have not read Rucker or if you are not a singularity/nanotech/gray goo/etc. freak, this may be a bit of a reach.

Also, though not explicitly filled with the above-type references, I found Peter Hamilton's "Night's Dawn" trilogy to be very trippy and very evocative of my psychelic encounters in the "realm of the dead." This Great-Britain trilogy has been split into 6 books for the American audience. The first one is called "The Reality Dysfunction." Perfect, ne?

Hope you all enjoy!

Peace & Love,
Pandora

Hey all,
