Welcome to my own Grail Quest

The lens is beginning to evolve. I am streaming blog entries onto the page and hope to keep a fairly up-to-date list of books I am reading at the moment. It is a pretty organic idea so I shall allow it to unfold in different ways and see where the journey takes us.

Books that inspire a different way of looking at the world 

Occasionally, you read a book that opens your eyes and expands your imagination and knowledge. In this section I will from time to time feature such a book.

And the first one is.....

The Field Updated Ed: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe

Amazon Price: $11.16 (as of 12/03/2008)Buy Now

Scientist are often quick to dismiss the spiritual, alternative medicine and practice and anything other than empirically proven experiment. Well here are the scientists who carried out such methodical experimentation and discovered the universe works in a way not explained by conventional science. As a result their work was dismissed, criticised and condemned to obscurity, their careers sent spiralling into meltdown as they were ridiculed by the scientific community. The Field has collected their work and presents it in an informative and enjoyable read. Well researched and well presented, a great read for anyone who wishes to be informed of the whole picture and not just the parts that fit into the established canon of scientific thought.

Books I am reading at the moment 

and would, definately, recommend

These books are truly inspiring

Science has recently begun to prove what ancient myth and religion have always espoused: There may be such a thing as a life force.

In this groundbreaking classic, investigative journalist Lynne McTaggart reveals a radical new paradigm-that the human mind and body are not separate from their environment but a packet of pulsating power constantly interacting with this vast energy sea, and that consciousness may be central in shaping our world.

The Field is a highly readable scientific d...

If you have not seen the film "What the bleep do we know", I would recommend it. It will change the way you think about reality and the universe!

Books I would recommend 

and ones I have found invaluable

I am a real book lover, maybe a book addict! This came to my attention in a small bookshop in Machynlleth in Wales when my girlfriend at the time asked me what I was doing and I replied "I'm smelling the books"!

Extreme, maybe, but old books have the scent of knowledge, of adventure, of undiscovered treasures, and there are worse things to be addicted to. In secondhand bookshops I stop and wonder who the previous owner was, what circumstances led to them ending up in a secondhand shop, how they were read and by whom..okay, I will stop there! Collating a list of really important books is, therefore, an impossibility for me, so this is just a start.....on a never ending journey. I will limit it to books that I re-read on a reasonably regular basis.

King, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Moore and Gillette
Iron John by Robert Bly
Books by Dan Millman
Books by Stuart Wilde
Books by R.J. Stewart
Sacred World by Jeremy & Karen Hayward
Coming to our Senses by Jon Kabat-Zinn ( which I am dipping into at present. I would recommend this author, all his books are worth reading).

About mnewell

Hi, the purpose of this lens....I have read a lot of mond, body, spirit books, looked at a lot of spiritual paths and have come to a few conclusions, ideas and thoughts. I hope to use this lens as a guide to the different books out there as well as mixing in some personal thoughts on mythology's role in teaching these types of life lessons...and anything else that comes to mind.
