Think and Grow Rich - Napolean Hill


Perhaps THE most important personal development book

[Sunny]

Here are a few great sites for those interested in Energy Work. This correlates to the concepts of Attractor Fields as discussed by David Hawkins which is an important and misunderstood aspect of the Law of Attraction. These sites include lots of free information regarding technique and also some very valuable articles on theory and how it relates to spirituality. They of course also want to sell you things, but the free information makes them well worth a visit.

AFT (Attractor Field Therapy) This sites provides free instructions on how to clear your energy fields and includes formulas to use for different conditions under the link Attractor Field Technique. Be sure to read the related articles.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) This site demonstrates a simplified method of clearly your energy fields and you can receive a free PDF download if you are interested in trying it out.

Tapping This site includes some great videos which clearly demonstrate the concepts shown at the EFT site above. These videos make the technique very easy to understand.

Namaste!

Nick - you just got in before me! I found the sacred-texts archive over the weekend - I couldn't believe there was this resource freely available, amazing. I've not seen anything like it. I shall be buying the DVD to support this work..

For those into nonduality/advaita, there is a podcast called 'Out of Our Minds'. There are over 20 episodes and it is nearing its first year anniversary...all the episodes are on the main website at Awaken to Life with Eric Putkonen (Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, Jnana Yoga).

There are also some articles, links, and such on the site. Everything on the site is free.

Free Mini Reading: annafrancesconlan.com » Free Mini Reading

For this mini reading I access your Akashic Record to find out what your strongest intuitive gift is at this time and also give you some pointers on how to develop it.

[Pequod]

My favorite spiritual resources:

The Headless Way -- Douglas Harding - Excellent excercises to "See who you really, really are" as Douglas Harding used to say. Thanks to his work I finally understood non-duality and Oneness and make the experience of it part of my daily life

Spiritualteachers.org: Your place for spiritual teachers - Great hub with links to many sites and teachers. The rankings of spiritual teachers are fun too.

TAT Foundation | Spiritual Search Site and Place of Friendship - The TAT foundation was founded by Richard Rose, i.m.h.o. an underestimated spiritual giant. Lots of info and great articles in the monthly online magazine

[cain]

After spending many ears as a "seeker" I think Ken Wilber's works clarified a lot of the confusion I was having about what I "saw" in the "spiritual world".

One aspect of it was how can a Muslim Suicide bomber, the Pope, a "New Age Hippy", and the Dali Lama all be "inspired" by spirituality?

A good introduction to Ken's thought is this article on belief net:


Which Level of God Do You Believe In?

To delve further into Ken's works, check out all the A/V on the intergralnaked.org website.

Also, I highly recommend the talks from Genpo Roshi and all the teachers at the Kanzeon Zen Center which are available at: Zen Eye.

Finally I put together my own "cliff notes" for anyone interested in exploring Buddhism: Integral Buddhism - Outline for "progressing" in meditation.

[Stressless]

Hi babuji,

Thanks for the references. Swami Vivekanande was an enlightened soul, far ahead of his times. And his books have eternal value, even though he lived in a different time.

Today, though times and people are different, his teachings still have a lot of value. Everybody is looking for peace of mind because somewhere there is an empty space, a vacuum in people.
