Mind you I was considerably younger then but have re-read it many times.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

When I was a teen, someone (a woman called June who labeled herself as being a channeler, don't know if she was), gave this book to my sister (that woman never met me) saying, that this was for me, one day I'll understand, or sth. like that. My sister gave that book to me, I read it in one night, seeing *some* truth in it but couldn't say it changed me.
I do not know "illusions", however.

Two books that changed me "forever" just one year later (still as a teen) : "Notes to myself" and "I touch the earth, the earth touches me", by Hugh Prather, though I never have read a book by him again. (still appreciate him, however!)

And now, "Power vs Force" - David R. Hawkins, no comment. (it is so rich that I cannot read it as fast as I would like!)

And I must add to the books some contributions to a community like this one (kind of) by one person (no author, no blogger) changed me as much as the two books of Prather. Several of these contributions would be worth being published.

I'll add to complete the circle: in the middle of the two (Prather and Hawkins):
"Secret of childhood" by Maria Montessori and several other books, that one has been the first I read by her. She has awful insights concerning spirituality and development of mankind, development as micro- and macro-cycle.

I find it very interesting that some quote the Bible, too. I very much loved the gospel of Thomas along the bible, it gives a new sense to the bible.
