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!)
check out 'Idustrial Society and Its Future' A.K.A. the unabomber manifesto, written by theodore kaczynski http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Industrial_Society_and_Its_Future if you're into that kind of stuff, that is.
^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.
this is probably the third time ive heard you talk about this book and each time ive said i was gonna get it and now i finally did and reserved it from the library, i hope its as good as you say it is.
