Some of my favorites are these:
Fear and Trembling, Kirkegaard.
This is the book that made me sure that I had found the right girl -- 'Never the less I believe that I shall get her.'
Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu
This is a text that can be read in part like a daily meditation guide. Its something that I read and reread continuously.
The Bible
Sorry, but this has some really great things in it. Psalms is one of my favorite books, Song of Songs, and Isaiah as well.
Dark Night of the Soul, St. John of the Cross.
This is another one of those that can be read in part, daily.
Anything written by Edgar Cayce.
This man definetely changed the way I thought about my faith, Christ, and even taught a Christian about how shit like reincarnation was not only possible but very probable.
Waking Life, Richard Linklater (film)
I agree that the film only scratches the surface of philosophy, but it masterfully combines thoughts of Existentialism and Spiritualism. Plus its a great watch by a talented film maker.
that's it. thanks.
