Wow! Terrific list. _____ From: oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net [mailto:oe-bounces@lists.wedgeblade.net] On Behalf Of LAURELCG@aol.com Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 6:47 PM To: oe@lists.wedgeblade.net Subject: Re: [Oe List ...] Books that addressed me 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. .
