Great Intro To The Contemplative Life, Nov 4 1999

This book is a great solution for all of those who have looked for god and failed to find it because they were looking in the wrong places. It is literally like a breath of fresh air when compared to most varieties of contemporary religious teaching and was definitely an eye-opener. Only for the open-minded. Contains a wealth of excellent references and bibliography.

An Excellent Introduction To Phenomenology, Nov 4 1999

This little book is an excellent introduction to Husserl's phenomenology. He outlines his idea of the intentionality of consciousness via the "transcendental ego". If Sartre had paid more attention to this, his outlook wouldn't have been so pessimistic.

Caveat: This book is hard reading -- it's not really for the newcomer to philosophy and Husserl's toxic and dense style will probably put off all but the determined.

Cool Book, Nov 4 1999

The Dao de King is one of the spiritual and philosophical treasures of the world. This book needs to be read for what it is -- poetry. The Tao goes beyond words and cannot be explained. Nevertheless, Needleman's commentary is quite enlightening.
