How's the book?  Had a chance to read it some?  Learn anything interesting?

Haven't even cracked it yet unfortunately. Really looking forward to it, I just want to get a few more books off my plate because I get pulled in too many directions. I will let you know though, definitely.

Wow.  Sounds good.

There's a similar movie that came out in the 80's called The Big Blue, that is about that - and is excellent.

This was great. I rented it when I lived in Japan so I watched it in French and had to translate back to English from the Japanese subtitles. I'm sure I missed some of the subtleties in the dialogue...

Almost finished reading "Autobiography of A Yogi" by Paramahamsa Yogananda. Great lore on Babaji, Kriya Yoga and other things. Almost as good as "Opening the Dragon Gate" but not quite up there.

No spiritual topic but anyway: I'm just reading Jung Chang: Wild Swans

a history of the writer's family through three generations in china - very moving, and a lot of things about china i did not know the least!

 

Also currently lying beside my bed:

 

Stanley Keleman: Emotional anatomy. The structure of experience - classical bioenergy, amazing drawings of the human body (e.g. as a hydraulic system), quite spooky.

 

Arthur E. Powell: The Mental Body

 

and again picking up a book I don't understand at all, but every now and then am reading anyway:

Stephen Wolinsky: Walden III - In search of a Utopian Nirvana

The ultimate deconstruction of everything (He calls it "post-deconstruction", drawing upon buddhism, advaitavedanta, linguitics, neuroscience, philosophy and quantum physics.) My favourite: his chapter on the bourgoise seeker. Very radical.
