What are your favorite spiritual books?

[Rising Spirit]

I'll start by stating that books are wonderful ways of creating a shareable framework for both the growing self-inquiry of others and towards expressing some of the finest, and most insightful human thought-workings.  Within my humble beliefs, what books are not, can be summed up in simple terms.  They are not one's own direct experience.  Such attention requires a centered routine of meditation, contemplation and honest mortal curiosity. 

But I've read thousands of books in my 66+ years existing on Terra Firma, and I def do have my favorites.  I'd place a handful of them on my most recommended list.  Foremost would have to be, The Tao Te Ching, by Lao Tzu.  It is as much eloquent poetry as it is profound philosophy.  It absolutely shook me to my very core when I was just a teenager, when first opening my mind to higher thought.

It's genius resides in the phenomenon that one needn't approach it as a begging to ending process.  I often open it up randomly and delight in whatever the deep musings are pertaining to.  It's a really quite a lovely book.  🙏 ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
