			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For over 10 years now, I have been an avid reader of new age and non-religious spiritual literature. Here is a short list of the top spiritual books and authors that I&#8217;ve read and would recommend:<span id="more-122"></span></p>
<p><strong>Focus on Attaining Peace: Spiritual Books by Eckhart Tolle</strong></p>
<p>The way I see it, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;field-keywords=eckhart%20tolle&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Aeckhart%20tolle&#038;tag=sawhdoi-20&#038;url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks">Eckhart Tolle</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sawhdoi-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> teaches three fundamental things:<br />
1.) The importance of being in this present moment<br />
2.) The existence of the true self vs the non-true self (the ego and the pain body)<br />
3.) The importance of achieving a state of &#8220;no thought&#8221; and peace.</p>
<p>To read about this theme of spirituality I would strongly recommend the following two books by Tolle:<br />

<p><strong>Focus on getting what you want: Spiritual books by Abraham Hicks</strong></p>
<p>Whilst Eckhart Tolle teaches mostly about attaining a state of peace, calm and &#8220;being&#8221;, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;field-keywords=abraham%20hicks&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Aabraham%20hicks&#038;tag=sawhdoi-20&#038;url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks">Abraham Hicks</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sawhdoi-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> focuses on attaining a state of happiness through manifesting your desires. Need tips on how to attract more money, more loving people, or more of anything else into your life? Abraham&#8217;s probably the best one to read. Here are a few of my personal favorite Abraham Hicks books:</p>

<p>For me, a combination of Eckhart Tolle and Abraham Hicks covers almost everything I ever questioned and wanted to understand better about spirituality.</p>
<p>. . .<br />
</center></p>
<p><strong>Books about life between lives &#038; life after death</strong></p>
<p>Whilst Hicks &#038; Tolle teach much about living life, they don&#8217;t say a lot about life after death. The go-to guy for me in this department is Michael Newton, a hypnotherapist who stumbled upon the ability to regress people back in time, to before they were born. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;field-keywords=michael%20newton&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Amichael%20newton&#038;tag=sawhdoi-20&#038;url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks">Michael Newton books</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sawhdoi-20&#038;l=ur2&#038;o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> (click on the link to check some of them out on Amazon) are amongst the best ones I&#8217;ve ever read on what happens to souls after death of the physical body. His books are truly fascinating.</p>

<p><strong>Wonderful fiction books with a spiritual message</strong></p>
<p>I know a lot of people have loved <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0061122416/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0061122416&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=sawhdoi-20">The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sawhdoi-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0061122416" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> as a fiction book with a spiritual message. For me, my absolute favorite is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0062515675/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0062515675&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=sawhdoi-20">The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=sawhdoi-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0062515675" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, by Robin Sharma. It was the first spiritual book I ever read and it has a special place in my heart.</p>
