TOP 22 SPIRITUAL / CONSCIOUSNESS EXPANDING BOOKS
There are so many ideas in spirituality and life mastery just as there are on any topic. True spirituality is not about clinging to one path over another, but always expanding out in all directions to the simple truth that we are all creators making up our own rules and ideas, and being conscious and empowered in what we are therefore creating.
The books I've listed below have been chosen to provide a wide range of aspect and pathway with regards to expanding one's consciousness and/or seeking spiritual evolution. They have each made a beautiful contribution to the expansion of my own consciousness and to assisting in my life mastery, despite the fact that many of the ideas may conflict with one another... like the facets of a diamond, they reflect one angle of the light, and two facets may be on opposing sides, but they are part of the same whole.
These books are in no particular order of importance. I have roughly grouped them into themes of eastern enlightenment first, followed by more shamanic wisdom and then more interesting ones that don't fit into either of those categories, followed by a few classics. Two of my own books have been included, because they have truly moved and greatly inspired those that have read them.
But the books that I absolutely recommend the most are shown in the front cover pictures, which link directly to Amazon.com so you can get them and start expanding straight away!! They all have one thing in common: they are autobiographical stories. Having insight into another's most personal reflections and experiences for me, offers the most profound and breath-taking vehicle for expanding consciousness and integrating spiritual ideas.
