    Well yea, I mean a pretty much live my life
    according to the Gita, mostly in my state
    of devotion and my mental state permanantly
    balance and calm in any given situation.

    But Autobiography of a Yogi is simply an
    amazing story of a true Saint, and actually
    I made a thread in Yoga & Meditation about
    how Yogananda appeared before me during
    kriya meditation.
    It's never happened before that and has not
    happened since, I think that was the only time
    I actually did the Yoga properly, and just his
    presence let me know that my life is ok and
    that God is on my side, you know, to let me
    know that I am not alone and that contacting
    the astral plane is a very real experience (which
    I never believed was anything more than
    hallucination until it actually happened to me!)

    ^thanks. i like to read controversial opinions and i'm especially interested in anarcho-primitivism. it's kind of a long text, but worth the read IMO.

    i usually read non fiction, i dont know if your into that.

    My favorite book ever is "The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World"

    Its about the author and his journey to answer a question. "do plants use humans as much as we use them?" he looks at 4 plant, apples, tulips, marijuana, and potatoes. he reviews the history of each plant, and discovers how each plant uses humans to further their existence. its crazy! it also tells the true story of johnny appleseed and why he planted so many apple trees.
