Books that I’m Reading

Books that I’m Currently Reading

There seems to be a serious case of what appears to be ADD as currently my attention shifts between four or five different books, all of them quite amazing in their own way. Oddly enough, for me only one of them has the classification of fiction tho tonight I read what I considered a brilliant short story by Charles DeLint Coyote Stories

Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson : Wilson writes this, to me, amazing synthesis of Timothy Leary’s work on programing the neurological circuits , Genreal Semantics, Crowley’s magical teaching and around five or six other areas all with humour and exercises for self-development/self-programming.

Serpent of Light Beyond 2012 by Drunvalo Melchizedek: I had been reading and hearing about Melchizedek and his Flower of Life workshop for about a dozen years now and this is the first book that I have read by him. It seems to be a good example of things coming to us at the right time. This book talks about the 13,000 year cycle that according to many different calendars is coming to an end and a new one beginning and how it represents the shifting of the Kundalini energy of the earth.

Tarot Wisdom: Spiritual Teachings and Deeper Meanings by Rachel Pollack: I’ve probably said this before, I haven’t yet found a writer on the Tarot who writes books that I find as interesting as I find Rachel Pollack’s I have used her book 78 Degrees of Wisdom as a major reference book for readings i have done for the past 30 years. In this book, she conveys most of what she’s learned since then in amazing concise fashion.

Virus of the Mind-The New Science of the Meme by Richard Brodie This book has brought me a lot of enjoyment. A meme , according to Brodie and several others is “a unit of information whose existence influences events such that more copies of itself get created in other minds” . In other words, the way i understand it a thought construct such as a slogan, a piece of music or an idea that once it gets in your head, you start humming it or passing it along. Could be anything from the first notes of Beethoven’s Fifth (DA DA DA DUH) to “Bush is a moron” to “Everything is One” It occurs to me that i definitely need a greater awareness of which memes are running loose in my brain.

In the Earth Abides the Flame by Russell Kirkpatrick The second book in what was intended to be a trilogy and now has grown to series, i find the writing and characters great which at this time in my life is what i look for
