Be Free Where You Are, by Thich Nhat Hanh. This marvelous little book--the transcription of a talk given by a renown Buddhist monk at the Maryland Correctional Institute--is must reading for anyone interested in real freedom. Exchanges Within, by John Pentland, Exchanges Within: Questions from Everyday Life Selected from Gurdjieff Group Meetings with John Pentland in California 1955-1984. Until his death in 1984, Lord Pentland was one of the outstanding leaders of the Gurdjieff Work in America. This book gives a remarkable insight into his extraordinary ability to translate Gurdjieff's ideas and methods into the language necessary to help each student experience herself or himself as a living question in the face of the unknown. In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching, By P.D. Ouspensky. This is classic on Gurdjieff and his teaching. It is "must reading" reading for anyone interested in Gurdjieff. Gurdjieff : Essays and Reflections on the Man and His Teachings, edited by Jacob Needleman & George Baker. This is an important book for anyone interested in in the multi-dimensional ideas and practices of the great spiritual pathfinder, G. I. Gurdjieff. The book includes essays by Jeanne de Salzmann, John Pentland, Peter Brook, Rene Daumal, Jerzy Grotowski, Arnaud Desjardins, David Hykes, and many others. Opening : Collected Writings of William Segal 1985-1997: offers important ideas and observations about the possibility of real transformation, the possibility of "fulfilling one's role as a true human being." William Segal, a philosopher and painter, worked with P. D. Ouspensky, G. I. Gurdjieff, and Daisetz Suzuki. The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, by Eckhart Tolle: This is an amazing and beautiful book. Using simple, unpretentious language, Tolle helps us return with full presence to the only place and time where awakening is possible: right here, right now. The Power of Now is destined to be one of the great spiritual classics. The American Soul: Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Founders, by Jacob Needleman. This wise, much-needed book by one of America's distinguished philosophers should be required reading for every American. It goes deeply not only into the great ideals that lie at the heart of the original American vision, but also into its crimes throughout its history. "The crimes of America are as much a part of its meaning as its ideals," Needleman writes, "and to embrace one without the other will lead us nowhere." Needleman shows how it is only through awakening to the real meaning of such ideals as liberty, individuality, self-determination, and conscience that we can "become genuine men and women of the soul." Heart without Measure: Work with Madame de Salzmann, by Ravi Ravindra. When Gurdjieff died he left his work in the capable hands of Madame de Salzmann, who had been with him for many years. This book gives extraordinary glimpses into Madame de Salzmann and her approach to Gurdjieff's teachings. Loving What Is: Four questions that can change your life, by Byron Katie with Stephen Mitchell. This is a wonderful book for anyone who wishes to get to the root of their suffering and begin to live in harmony with what is. As Katie makes clear, it is not our problems that cause suffering, but rather the way we think about them. We can never win an argument with reality. Our constant judgments of ourselves and others--along with the stories we tell ourselves to justify these judgments--keep us imprisoned in pain and suffering. Through inquiring into our many thoughts and judgments using the questioning process that Katie describes so beautifully in this book, we discover that it is the truth that will set us free. A Voice at the Borders of Silence, the autobiography of William Segal, with Marielle Bancou-Segal. An extraordinary portrait of an extraordinary man, this wonderful book provides an intimate, illuminating, and ever-expanding view of William Segal's life-time search for "what's it all about"--especially in relation to art, Zen Buddhism, and the Gurdjieff Work. It includes 24 full-color reproductions of Segal's paintings, as well as numerous black and white photos of himself and those teachers and others who were so important in his quest for self-knowledge and self-realization. Emptiness Dancing; compiled from selected Dharma Talks of Adyashanti, who claims to have awakened to his "true nature" after many years of Zen practice, this extraordinary book explores the nature of real freedom and shows how it is accessible to all of us. Emptiness Dancing is destined to become a classic in Advaita/Zen literature. The World of Silence, by Max Picard. In this amazing book, first published in 1948, renowned Swiss philosopher Max Picard expresses the nature and meaning of silence in poetic and lyrical language that is a reminder of our own great Source. Even a few words from this book can transform your life: "When the substance of silence is present in a man, all his qualities are centered in it; they are all connected primarily with the silence and only secondarily with each other. Therefore it is not so easy for the defect of one quality to infect all the others, since it is kept in its place by the silence. But if there is no silence, a man can be totally infected by a single defect so that he ceases to be a man ..." Dragon Thunder: My Life with Chogyam Trungpa, by Diana J. Mukpo. This is a remarkable book about a remarkable human being and teacher. Click on the link and see my brief review of this book on Amazon.com. Why Can't We Be Good?, by Jacob Needleman. This amazing book is a "must read" for anyone interested in the truth about what is necessary to fulfill our promise as conscious human beings capable of acting justly and lovingly toward both ourselves and our neighbors. Written by one of the great spiritual and social philosophers of our times, Why Can't We Be Good? will not only help you think, feel, and sense in new, insightful ways about what it means to be truly human, but will also give you a direct and transformative glimpse into the real meaning of Conscience and its relationship with real love.
