There are so many great books, because there are so many great teachers. I am well aware that there are many, many titles not on this list.

Every book contains information. The question is, will the book serve to help our transformation to a higher level of consciousness.

A book is a transmission of spirit from the author to the reader. The books I list here have served me well as textbooks for a lifelong course in higher consciousness. Most of them I have read and reread a number of times. My wish is that this list serves you in raising your own consciousness. Not everyone will resonate with every book. Just take a look, either in a bookstore or on the internet, and see if you feel drawn to any particular author or title.

This is cut and pasted from my website. I'm not computer literate enough to know how to reformat, and i'm not ready to retype the whole thing (i'm a very slow typist), but the books are worth reading. I've just listed a few, trying for a manageable set of basics, rather than an exhaustive list.
