Please post any free books that were meaningful to you…
I have found in attempting to strength train the imagination and visualization ‘muscles’ of the brain, reading books with powerful scenes or imagery is very helpful.
(Dont discount quality fiction, sometimes it has greater power to speak truth than non-fiction)
Was Ray Bradbury a prophet?
I see a lot of buzzing thimbles/sea shells in peoples ears these days…
One of the best works of nonfiction I have read.
A great read when you are going through tough times, and a painful reminder to count your blessings. Someone, somewhere, is probably suffering as much or far more, and if you look throughout history, exponentially so.
I used to read this book every year around this time, if you read the first few chapters you will understand why:
I wonder why Dante designed hell in the shape of (Samsaric like) circles that spiraled downward???

“This is all that I had to say about friendship; but I exhort you both so to esteem virtue (without which friendship cannot exist), that, excepting virtue, you will think nothing more excellent than friendship.”
what a delight… Ah! just spotted another synchronicity… Doreen VIRTUE wrote that article about numbers… hihihi… AMAZING!
Posted this in Sacred Teachings, but this is a better place for it
Love this and the article. I agree 100%, synchs and meassages come in all shapes and sizes. Remind me to tell you about all the birds I saw Friday evening.
Cool synch, I was wondering the other day if you were recommending the entire 6h video, or just the last part.
Now that it has your stamp of approval I am going to try to listen to 10-15min of this every day. Thank you my friend 
what a gem… 
thank you for sharing! 
Yes dearest Beloved, this one is one of my favorite treasures. 
@Bucket Never heard of the Enchiridion, excited to crack it open. I am about an hour in to The Way of The Pilgrim, I like it a lot, they just stole his bible, do you know how to spell the name of the other book they stole that he paid 2 coins for?
Epictetus is the other great stoic saint from late antiquity. Fascinating story, He was a slave that became a teacher of philosophy. He was also disabled. Some, like Origen the Church father, said we obtained his disability when his master beat him. Anyways, he obtained his freedom and became a philosopher. A lot of wisdom in his words.
I was introduced to Epictetus after watching a video where Eckhart Tolle read parts of the Enchiridion and commented on it. Just tried to find that video again, but no luck.
The book the pilgrim mentions is the Philokalia. It’s basically a mystical text book, including writings from early Christianity to the 15th century on how to open your heart to the mystery of the Divine. It’s in the public domain, so you can read it here: Philokalia - The Complete Text : St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain and St. Makarios of Corinth : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
