krishnamurti's Notebook

Silence grew and became intense, wider and deeper. What was outside was now inside; the brain which had listened to the silence of the hills, fields and groves was itself now silent; it had gone through that and had become quiet, naturally, without any enforcement. It was still, deep within itself; like a bird that folds its wings, it had folded upon itself; in folding upon itself, it had entered into depths which were beyond itself. The brain is essentially superficial; its activities are superficial, almost mechanical; its activities and responses are immediate, though this immediacy is translated in terms of the future. Its thoughts and feelings are on the surface, though it may think and feel far into the future and way back into the past. All experience and memory are deep only to the extent of their own limited capacity but the brain being still and turning upon itself, it was no longer experiencing outwardly or inwardly. Consciousness, the fragments of many experiences, compulsions, fears, hopes and despairs of the past and the future, the contradictions of the race and its own self-centred activities, was absent; it was not there. The entire being was utterly still and as it became intense, it was not more or less; it was intense, there was an entering into a depth or a depth which came into being which thought, feeling, consciousness could not enter into. It was a dimension which the brain could not capture or understand. And there was no observer, witnessing this depth. Every part of one’s whole being was alert, sensitive but intensely still. This new, this depth was expanding, exploding, going away, developing in its own explosions but out of time and beyond time and space.

My choice is The Malazan Books of the Fallen by Steven Erikson - 12 in all so far in a continuous story and each volume a block-buster.

This is a manga so I'm not sure if it counts. However if it does, I will never read anything as disturbing yet beautiful as this book! It changed my life.

- Any book by Erma Bombeck

She always makes my bad days better. I wish that she was still alive. She was far too young to die. Rest in peace, Erma. We all miss you and your wonderful sense of humor! :hug:

Conversations with God by Neal Donald Walsch

[ticktock]

Any one read this book ? if not I highly recommend it, after simply reading it and believing what I was reading Ive been actually able to do some practices like travelling in positive no time... This is handy if you got 10 min to get to work but its a 35 min drive, you can use positive no time to create more time for yourself inside of no time, so you can get to work on time with 1 min to spare everytime. With out speeding, you have to be confident without a doubt and absolutely positive with out worry that youll get there on time, It actually works.

[Soul Renew]

[Alice_1]

In the Brahma-samhita, the Lord is called infallible (acyuta); it means that He does not forget Himself, even when he is in the material world, whereas an ordinary being, in contact with matter, does not remember his past lives. Therefore, the Lord and the individual soul are never equal in all respects, even if the soul is liberated, like Arjuna. Although Arjuna is a devotee of the Lord, he sometimes forgets the position of the Lord. But by the grace of God, a devotee can instantly realize that the Lord is great and infallible, whereas nondevotees, or demons, can not comprehend His divine nature. Therefore, people with a demonic mindset can not understand the meaning of this and other similar verses of Bhagavad-gita. Krsna remembers what He did millions of years ago, and Arjuna does not remember, although by nature they are both eternal beings. It must also be noted that the ordinary being forgets everything that happened to him, because he has to change bodies, but the Lord remembers, because His body, sac-cid-ananda, is eternal and unchanging. He is advaita: there is no difference between His body and Himself. Everything that is somehow connected with Him, has a spiritual nature. But the body of the conditioned soul is material and different from itself. Since the body of the Lord is identical with Himself, even when he descends to the material world, He maintains His position, different from the position of ordinary beings.:hug3:

[Ankhesenamun]

Treasure Island
