The Third Jesus, by Deepak Chopra If you have read my Maui Papers page, you know that I am in the process of developing a strong personal relationship with Jesus and the Christ-consciousness energy. This book was very helpful to me in understanding how to reconcile that energy with my beliefs, which are not mainstream Christian. It was very interesting to see how Deepak Chopra, coming from an Eastern tradition, views Jesus.
I had never been interested in psychic phenomenon before I read this book. To give you an idea of how I felt about it, I actually hid this book underneath a couple of novels on my way to the checkout stand. But my feeling that I could trust my intuition had been growing over the years, and this book explained what I have found to be true: that our intuition, the thing we all have that is built into our language (gut feeling, vibes, I just knew) is in fact our inherent psychic ability. If you can accept that simple premise, then the rest is easy, because this book explains simple techniques for calling up your intuition at will, instead of just waiting for it to call out to you.
The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, by Deepak Chopra This excellent book addresses how to meditate, with a focus on the fulfillment of desire. If you are a Deepak Chopra fan, this will be one you will want to add to your library.
This book is going to be very expensive for me, because every time I buy it for myself, I end up giving it away to a friend. It is such a powerful book and wonderfully consistent with the messages I have been receiving from Quado for years. Read it!
How to Know God, by Deepak Chopra I am on my second reading of this book. On the first reading, I enjoyed it. On the second reading, I loved it. If you know yourself to be on a spiritual path, this book helps to identify and clarify the steps on that journey.
I've discovered through my Quado experience that many, maybe most, of the things I had been taught about life and how to live were not true. Radical Healing shows you much the same thing with regard to medicine, health and healing.
In 1945 an Egyptian peasant unearthed the gospels of the Gnostics, a persecuted Christian sect. This book presents an analysis of the Gnostic gospels, an alternative to the New Testament which strikes a more eastern chord. For example: "Jesus said, 'If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.'" It is surprisingly readable and opens up an entirely new view of Christianity.
This book has been very important in my life. It started me on a habit of writing three stream-of-consciousness pages every day, a surprisingly soothing and powerful exercise, which got me through some very tough spots. A warning: this book lays out a highly rigorous program of self-exploration, and I've known some people who haven't made it through because it was simply too much. I recommend that you do what I did: just read the book through, and if you want to, do some of the exercises.
This is a fascinating book that I couldn't put down. You somehow know that it is all very true, even as it challenges everything you ever believed.
I love this little book. At first I thought it presented an over-simplified view of things. Now I think we were all just taught an overly-complicated view.
