[Oe List ...] Books that addressed me

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

Here are some of my favorites, post-Order:
 
One Day at a Time with Al-Anon saved my life.  Many self-help books on 
co-dependence followed.
At a Journal Workshop by ira Progoff, taught me  how to process my life in 
a profound way.
Creation Spirituality and  courses by Matthew Fox gave me the next three  
fields of thought. 
The Universe Story by Bryan Swimme and Thomas  Berry taught me the new 
cosmology.
Truth or Dare and other  books by Starhawk helped me feel like a full human 
being, even as a  woman. 
Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa  Pinkola Estes gave my wild 
interior permission to be,
Seven Experiments That Could Change the World by  Rupert Sheldrake - 
grounded morphic fields..
The Biology of Transcendence by Joseph Chilton  Pearce - many others on 
development of consc'ness.
The Field by Lynne McTaggart reports of quantum  physics practical 
experiments not generally reported.
The Bond  by Lynne McTaggart - same as  above, for biology and other 
sciences.
The Spectrum of Consciousness by Ken Wilbur  taught me a new way to see 
individual and cultural development.
Evolutionary Enlightenment by Andrew Cohen gave  me back Saviors of God for 
the 21st century. Got  me meditating meaningfully and in a disciplined way 
for the first  time.
The Invisible Garment by Connie Kaplan, my  classmate at UCS- personalaized 
spiritual development based on one's birth  chart and A Colorful Life, same 
author, how  angelic spheres are evolving and leading us to evolve. Please 
don't dismiss this  as "new age." It's not. Matthew Fox and Rupert Sheldrake 
taught a course on "The  Physics of Angels." We don't have the secular, 
scientific words for what our  forebears in the faith called angels. But 
there's plenty of evidence that those  energies are around.
 
Without my O:E education and the books to which it introduced me, I'd  have 
no way of appreciating any of these later ones, so most of those on Gene  
Marshall's list are priceless treasures in my life.
 
Writing Illness as Initiation: An Unlikely Heroine's  Journey pushed me to 
ground all this in my life, so it's also a  treasure to me.
 
Thanks for starting this string, Ken,
 
Jann McGuire, D.Min.

This is great. I’m  filing all these emails. Keep them coming. I’ll have  
to pull mine together soon.

Subject:  [Oe List ...] Books that addressed me
10 books  that most addressed me and still inspire and guide (pretty much 
in this  order):  
Cost  of Discipleship, Bonhoeffer ("Costly Grace") 
Shaking  of the Foundations, Tillich ("You Are Accepted") 
Courage To Be,  Tillich ("The Power of Being") 
Saviors of God, Kazantzakis ("The  March" section) 
I and Thou, Buber (Part I into II)  
Befriending the Earth, T. Berry (little book--first real intro to  TB) 
Grace and Grit, Wilber ("Who Am I?") 
Called To Be,  memoir (whole thing) 
One Taste, Wilber ("A Spirituality that  Transforms," Feb 11) 
The Great Work, T. Berry ("The Great Work")   
(and was  addressed again by working on Bending History (I) and Brother  
Joe)  
Not  exactly what you asked for, Herman, but I enjoyed the reflective time 
of  pulling the books off the shelves and thumbing through my 
markings--profound  journey.  
I give  thanks for these saints and others,  
John
