Recommended book list for spiritual seekers

[winterknight]

I've put out a list of my most recommended books for seekers of enlightenment with little blurbs describing them. Comments and questions as always are welcome.

@winterknight I really want to read the bhagwa Gita! Which is the better one out of the two you suggested. 

[winterknight]

I'd say start with the Sargeant.

[Aakash]

Okay cool! Definitely will do!

@winterknight  Why exactly do you put so much emphasis on freudian psychoanalysis?

Because I think it's a very underrated and powerful mode of psychological exploration and healing. I found it invaluable in addressing certain unconscious mental issues that were blocking my search.

And people don't know about it or have huge misconceptions about it.

@winterknight What do you think about "the untethered soul"? Michael A. Singer

I'd never heard of it. What's its approach? Are you a fan?

[cetus]

@winterknight It's a good foundational book for someone starting the journey. It starts with "what is that voice talking in my head?" to clearing samsara's from the heart center, ect

Do you guys meditate before reading spiritual books?

Why cant I learn it and apply it on myself?  There is nobody being capable of doing it in my country,

@Buba  Who said you can't?

Because it's a fundamentally relational thing.

Azerbaijan, right? I'd send a message to the Azerbaijan Center for Psychoanalysis and ask.

@winterknight You seem like a pretty well read individual. Have you purchased Leo's book list? If so, any books in particular that impressed your woke perspective?

Let me know if they cannot and I will see what else I can do.
