I need to change a couple of the links - I've edited my original post but I don't think I can edit yours, can I? (The link I found for the Infinite Way is the correct ISBN but shows a description in Spanish, even though the edition is in English)
Sorry, still a bit green!
: )
Thanks Hemat:) I've edited mine to be the same as your edit (no we can't edit anyone else's post) and I changed the Spanish to English on the book too:)
It's ok to be green...we all have to learn:)

lol, yes! And I will never forget how I felt when I discovered white-out tape a few years ago (I'll bet there are lots of us here who still adore stationery!)
What an exciting time to live - as long as we have some little ones around to explain things to us! My 7 year old just showed me how to resize a photo and snap it again on his ipad!
Thanks again Brenda - enjoy your day : )
Ah yes our 7 year olds! Mine is my grandson Hemat, so I'm a lot older than you;)
Thanks you too:)
Thanks you too:)

Thanks you too:)"
lol! Not necessarily, Brenda! I started very late - 1965 was a very good year ; )

I read and LOVE Kahil Gibran's and many other spiritual books. My sister reads more than I, and bought Proof of Heaven which I then read and much enjoyed (having had similar experience though not the severe illness) I can't recall titles but know i've read a lot , last would be the Dalai Lama's book about Happiness (one of the many he's written) I did read and enjoy books about the GNostic Gospels, too, and more about religious history though I'm not religious myself

You also had a NDE? (would love to know more if you feel like sharing)
If you enjoyed Proof of Heaven, I can really recommend
![Dying to Be Me My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing by Anita Moorjani](https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1344735606s/12291050.jpg)
Yes, poetry really can touch your soul, can't it? Much like Kahil Gibran, Persian poets Rumi and Hafiz really lift me with their writing.
I grew up in an Orthodox faith and was schooled in Catholic schools. Even with that structure around me (or due to?!) I can't claim to be religious but I'm definitely spiritual.
Lovely to meet you, Carolyn : )

There might be books for you on the Visionary and Metaphysical book list. It is supposed to include non-fiction and fiction, though I mostly explore the fiction side. It is here:

Yes, I have

![Illusions The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach](https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1353964306s/29946.jpg)
Yes, most of the books I mentioned are non-fiction. I tend to read more from that pile.
Thanks for that link Tui - I look forward to seeing what it holds for me!
A great week to you! : )

In fact I just looked at it in the Amazon Kindle store but it was above my e-book price limit. But I'm wavering. Specially since I've found someone (you) who's read it already I could talk it over with. Did you find it helped you in any way? I'm not keen on things with too overtly a Christian messages. Is it like that?
I like spiritual but not religious content.

When I read his writing, I find myself "yes-ing" often! I recognise what he speaks of as Truth. I'm probably a Joel-junkie though - The Infinite Way sits in my handbag, and on my Kindle I'm part-way through
![Conscious Union with God Understanding the Truth by Joel S. Goldsmith](https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1373225412s/17141383.jpg)
![The Thunder of Silence by Joel S. Goldsmith](https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1347987194s/83011.jpg)
![Living The Infinite Way by Joel S. Goldsmith](https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1347618685s/1098207.jpg)
I think you may be able to find samples of his work online somewhere or maybe a talk to listen to?
As for how his work helps me... a stronger inner awareness and more personal connection with God, great instruction on meditation practice, a greater understanding and Experience of the nature of life and illusion. Scared you off yet?! lol!
See if you are drawn to his writings - we all resonate with different things, don't we?
Take care and looking forward to another chat soon :)

Two authors in this genre that I love are Joel S Goldsmith (The Infinite Way and so many others)and Dr David Hawkins - oh, and the great poets, Hafiz, Rumi and Kahil Gibran. I also enjoy books such as Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife "Dying to Be Me" and "Wishes Fulfilled".
I've just purchased on Kindle Marvin Meyer's "The Gnostic Gospels of Jesus" - really looking forward to answering some questions through that read.
Anyone here enjoy this genre too?
