Metaphysical and Esoteric Teachings

Creative Visualization, Living in the Light by Shakti Gawain
Classics by Shakti, amongst my first metaphysical books. Still wonderful.

Living Magically and Stepping into the Magic by Gill Edwards
Excellent books full of gems, magic and tools for transformation by the remarkable Jill Edwards.

All the Seth books by Jane Roberts
One of the first channeled teachings that made it into mainstream, Seth's teachings are timeless metaphysics classics. Enjoy.

All the Lazaris books by Jack Pursell
Another set of channeled metaphysics classics. Jack Purcell is more active on tape than with books and is still churning out tapes today. So check his web site at www.lazaris.com for more details on his work.

All Orin and DaBen books by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer
My personal favorites, Orin and DaBen's teachings are some of the most simple and profound around. Sanaya and Duane are also more productive on tape than in print, so make sure to check out their web site at www.orindaben.com

All Conversation with God books Vol 1-3 by Neale Donald Walsch
Metaphysical teachings for the mainstream but profound nevertheless. Very inspiring.

All the RA books: "The law of One" Vol 1-5
The RA material is complex and suitable to people that have been playing around with metaphysics for a while. A much more esoteric body of work, that is well worth the effort. Very interesting explanations of the process of ascension (the harvest), the dimensions and the nature of polarity.

All Alice Bailey's books Vol 1-24
Still working through these ones. The most complex body of esoteric teachings I have encountered so far. I have been fiddling around with them for a few years and I am slowly getting glimpses of the wonderful wisdom in here. To be digested slowly over a few decades. For the serious student.

The Awakener by Sandy Stevenson
A small booklet packed with information, practical tools and everything you will ever need to face the ascension process.

An Ascension Handbook by Tony Stubbs
The title says it all. Very good and wonderful booklet.

What is lightbody by Tachi-Ren
Another gem by Oughten House. Archangel Ariel's explanations of the stages of lightbody, with many invocations and energy transforming tools.

The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life Vol 1+2 by Drunvalo Melchiezedek
Sacred geometry, the Mer-Ka-Ba and millions of Drunvalo's fabulous stories and adventures. An excellent read.


Interesting metaphysical books to read with discernment….

Bringers of the Dawn, Earth and Family of Light by Barbara Marciniak
Barbara and the Pleiadians shine the light on the shadow side of the human adventure, whist inspiring a process of positive change.

The Sirian Revelations Vol 1-3 by Patricia Cori
Patricia and the Sirians also looking at shadow material to be healed within the process of ascension.

The Voyagers Series Vol 1+2 by Ashayana Deanne
Very technical information from the Guardian Alliance about the shift of the ages and the ascension process. Guardian Alliance? Who are these beings…for you to ponder.



Inspired biographies

Return to Center by Bobbie Prebstein
An excellent tale of transformation of a very normal woman going through separation from her husband as she awakens to spirit. Fabulous.

Return to the Garden by Shakti Gawain
Shakti's autobiography. What an exceptional life! Wonderful and empowering.

Out on a Limb, Dancing in the Light, It's all in the Playing, El Camino by Shirley McLaine
Shirley had me glued to her books hanging for every word. A true spiritual adventurer and pioneer she is! You will fall in love with this woman!

The way of the peaceful warrior by Dan Millman
Part real life, part fiction Dan weaves his experiences together with the thread of legend. A master storyteller and a master teacher, Dan's book is truly divine.



Astrology

Astrology, karma and transformation by Steven Arroyo
One of the most excellent astrology books of all time.

Relationships and life cycles by Steven Arroyo
Another one of the most excellent astrology books of all time

All other books by Steven Arroyo
Some of the best astrology books of all time! Does it show that I really like this guy?

Aspects by Sue Tompkins
In my opinion , the best book on aspects around.

The Twelve Houses by Howard Sasportas
In my opinion, the best book on Houses.

The Gods of Change by Haward Sasportas
An excellent book on the transits of the outer planets.

The Outer Planets and their cycles by Liz Greene
An excellent book on the outer planets and their effects on the collective consciousness.

The Sabian Symbols by Robert Blaschke

The Hades Moon by Judy Hall
A very heavy, dark and moody look at our old friend Pluto. Awesome book.

The Eagle and the Lark and Fixed Stars by Bernadette Brady
A book about forecasting, accurate timing with interesting stuff about eclipses. Fixed stars is about…fixed stars!



Psychology -serious, not so serious and self -help

All Alice Miller's books
Alice Miller really shook the psycho-analitical community upside down with her revolutionary theories of poisonous pedagogy and championing of the child. Fabulously empowering psychology.

All John Bradshaw's books
Excellent work on toxic shame. My favorites: Healing The Shame That Binds You and Family Secrets.

All Erik Fromm's books
Fromm is a great wise man, a little dated in a few things, but what a philosopher! I loved his book on the Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, his Psychoanalysis of Contemporary Society, his work on freedom, love and dreams. A great thinker of the last century.

All Scott Peck's books
A little more on the pop-psych side, Mr Peck's books have been some of the most influencial for my early personal process of change. I loved The Road Less Traveled, people of The Lie and every other book by this lovely man.

All Robin Norwood"s books
The Women that Love too Much series are groundbreaking works in the field of female psychology and her later work "Why this, Why me, Why now" grounds it all into the good old esoteric wisdom. For all women that find themselves in the midst of obsessive relating patterns and for all others that just want to learn more.

All Susan Jeffer's books
The great author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, births classic after classic self-help gems. I recommend any of her books.
