there are several books which have come to me gradually as far as my consciousness was ready to dive into them one another. I first started with "C. Belnez ; les aliments vivants (raw food)", then i was prepared for the Louise Hay (you can heal your life) Eckhart Tolle 'the power of now', Bruce Lipton "the new biology" trip. i' ve recently enjoyed these ones Thierry Salmeron ' ce qui échappe aux sages et aux intelligents = the cleverests and the wisesests miss it' Wallace D Wattles "la science de l'enrichissement",...
all of this have contributed alongside with my daily life experience to really open my eyes and to read, to clear my mind and to listen, to smell, and to "have fun" with all the supportive signs given to me each time by the universe to make me learn and grow. The universe is the most indescribable fantastic every senses spontaneously touching book, always in the present moment !!!
enjoy your life
LOVE

Yoga of Jesus? Does this come from a specific religous tradition? I am curious! THanks!

'The yoga of Jesus' is a shorter version of a 2 volume set entitled: 'The second coming of Christ: the resurrection of Christ within you'. Here's what Amazon says:

"In this remarkable book, Paramahansa Yogananda reveals the hidden yoga of the Gospels and confirms that Jesus, like the ancient sages and masters of the East, not only knew yoga but taught this universal science of God-realization to his closest disciples. Compiled from the author's highly praised two-volume work, The Second Coming of Christ: The Resurrection of the Christ Within You, this insightful and compact book transcends the centuries of dogma and misunderstanding that have obscured the original teachings of Jesus, showing that he taught a unifying path by which seekers of all faiths can enter the kingdom of God. Topics include: The lost years of Jesus in India; the ancient science of meditation: how to become a Christ; the true meaning of baptism"

I've read 'The second coming of Christ', from which 'Yoga of Christ' was taken. Both are quite fascinating. I recommend 'Yoga of Christ' as an introductory work; if that whets your appetite, then check out the 2 volume work.

Yogananda is not the only Eastern teacher who viewed Christ as an avatar. Check this out--from the Vedanta Society catalog:

Sorry I was away from my computer. Yes, I did mean Jesus. I was wondering how people outside of Christiainity see him.

I'd recommend reading the "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramhansa Yogananda as well. There many references to Christ and explanations of various Bible verses throughout the book.

In that book, and in the Yoga of Jesus (as well as in the Second Coming of Christ), Yogananda explains many Bible passages from the perspective of the science of yoga.

Oooh, I would say the Pleiadian wisdom series (I believe there are 4 books in total) channeled through Barbara Marciniak. They have been incredibly influential to me... Totally mind expanding.

Bringers of the Dawn
Earth: Keys to the Living Library

I can't remember the other two names right now.
I love Pleiadian energy... I am soul connected to the Pleiades. I am planning to order a book called 'Lineage of the Codes of Light' by a woman named Jesse.. something (not on top of the names today!). That one is about powerful spiritual women throughout the ages and how they've held the light codes for humanity and kept the golden flames alive through dark times... should be super activating.
