Ranked #655 in Religion, #54,015 overall
Spiritual information you did not find yet...
I have made a lot of pages on squidoo about religion and spirituality. Some of them have done quite well. The most popular gets more than 600 visitors a week.
Some however are ignored by search engines. These all got less than 5 visitors recently - and most got 0 in week. Just thought I'd introduce you to them. Perhaps their fates can change?

H.P. Blavatsky and Theosophy
Blavatsky was a world changer. She dived into the spiritualism scene and rearranged it by interpreting it's phenomena differently than most people did.

Lots of interesting lenses for me to read. Thank you.
I've a little book called Be Free Where You Are by Thich Nhat Hanh that I particularly like for his explanation about mindfulness. It was actually the text of a talk he gave at a prison. You've probably already read it but in case you haven't, you might enjoy it.
