records of the life of the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua vol. 1

Full of inspiration and great stories (''wild stories'' in the words of Kurt) - this book shows how great the Master was. This book i will carry with me throughout my life and remembering it, i have full faith, surely brings protection. (Wow, i sound religious... i am)

read it.

The conscious universe - by Dean Radin

Good book
(though it does reflect Radin's frustration and wish to be acknowledged; which i can, for a large part, completely understand).
Radin has spent a large part of his career studying things that ''we'' usually think are impossible, psi-phenomena, and concludes they are clearly possible - even though we have no idea how.
Personally i think the evidence is more convincing than the counterarguments. (currently, among other things of course, my reading delves further into the ''evidence'' question (a complex one!) and the implications for philosophy and religion - i'm afraid it had strong implications for how religion should be studied; and am afraid that the field of religious studies will be too slow in absorbing the information and implications).
