A small (prayer book size) book of writings on our spiritual nature. This book was harder for me to understand than „Powers Within” (also by Aurobindo), but I don't doubt it's authenticity.

Powers Within: Selections from the works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother – Compiled by: A.S. Dalal (1998, 2008)
Another book on the philosophy of consciousness. This book is amazingly consistent with my own experiences of consciousness (much of which I have written about in „The Fifthnail Exposed” blog), such as my view that every person is made up of thousands os conscious entities and that every thought we have is a conscious being with a will and self awareness all its own. But this book does a much better job explaining it.
Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness – by: Rosenblum and Kuttner (2006, 2008)
A liberal arts college text book that fucusses on the „interpretations” of quantum mechanics.
The Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics – by: Gary Zukav (1979, 2009)
A classic and easy to understand book about quantum mechanics.

„The Great Thoughts” Compiled by: George Seldes (1985)
„From Abelard to Zola, from Ancient Greece to contemporary America, the ideas that have shaped the history of the world.”
The Conscious Universe: The Scientific Truth of Psychic Phenomena – by: Dean Radin, Ph.D. (1997, 2009)
Another book that focusses too much on external experiences to try to understand plainly apparent internal realities.
The Holographic Universe – by: Michael Talbot (1991)
The Holographic Universe theory is valid and very consistent with my own views, but I think Talbot is over-reaching in this book by perhaps relying too much on all the extreme and bizarre anecdotes about „ghosts” and psychic phenomena. Not that such things don't exist, I just don't think we should, or even need to, look to such external experiences for the truth.
