My primary spiritual text is Tarot. I carry a copy with me nearly always. I prefer the
Crowley/Harris deck, but also often carry the standard Rider/Waite. Tarot is my
sacred picture book.
The Qabalistic Tarot by Robert Wang (publisher: Samuel Weiser, 1987) is in my opinion
the single best text for anyone with no previous exposure.
The Heart of Awareness -A Translation of the Ashtavakra Gita
Thomas Byrom (Shambhala: Boston, 1990.)

my sacred reading book.
The Jewel In The Lotus edited by Raghavan Iyer
(Concord Grove Press: New York, 1983)
A wondrous compilation of potent spiritual thinking from all traditions.
Appears to be currently out of print.
Unbounded Light - The Inward Journey

Starseed - The Third Millenium:
Living in the Posthistoric World

unpacks the Tree of Life and the Rosicrucian mythos in a fascinating and wise way.
Love's Body
by Norman O. Brown
(Vintage Books: New York, 1966.)Perhaps one of the most revolutionary books of the 20th Century! TheTransmutation of Freudianism into a Christic-Dionysiac vision. Written aphoristically, this text is teeming
with brain bombs that could rendyour veil of illusion.

a truly amazing book which discusses cosmic reality and our experience of it in detail

Extremely dense read that probably requires some background in psychology, but helped me understand
the deep structure.

This is the best book i've ever found on

paradisal/oneness consciousness.)
