I went ah...Rob,<BR/><BR/>And you are an encouragement to me. I went ahead and ordered the two Wilber books you mentioned and look forward to reading them. I likewise am humbled by the exercise of writing. I erase most of what I've written since it comes out different when viewed than when thought. <BR/><BR/>SteveSteveAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394492083234379612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8747309.post-1143132309128360222006-03-23T11:45:00.000-05:002006-03-23T11:45:00.000-05:00SteveI have enjoyed reading your comments immensel...Steve<BR/><BR/>I have enjoyed reading your comments immensely. I have found them thought provoking and inspiring. Your example of being a humble seeker has made a lasting impact on me. Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Here are some books I have been reading on.<BR/><BR/>1. The Spectrum of Consciousness by Ken Wilber - his integration of Eastern and Western philosophies with science and psychology is truly fascinating. I can read his influence on many authors I have read in the past.<BR/><BR/>2. The Simple Feeling of Being by Ken Wilber - a wonderful compilation of Wilber's writings derived from his own meditation and inner relfection. I have found it mystical, inspirational, and a sincere attempt to explain a gift that truly can only be experienced.<BR/><BR/>3. Left to Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza - story of a woman who survived the Rwandan genocide. She layed in a bathroom floor (4ft x 3ft) for 91 days. Her story of hardship and circumstance moves me now. She went to Unversity and studied Physics and Math, and her brother was the only person in their village to have a Masters degree. Her beauty reinforces my belief in the good of humanity.<BR/><BR/>The Church on the Other Side by Brian McLaren - Thanks so much. I have enjoyed it. No doubt pioneering new ground concerning Christianity in our ever changing world.<BR/><BR/>Please continue your posts. I am beginning to write myself. I am <BR/>humbled by the exercise, but grateful to attempt. Please stay in touch. I hope all well with you and yours.<BR/><BR/>Your nephew<BR/>RobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
