Metaphysics Self Help Books I have read and recommend, plus CD's, DVD's, links to audio and video, and more....
For more than 20 years I have been reading and studying metaphysics self help books, and new age books, that attempt to explain and apply metaphysical theory and principles. On this page you will find what I consider to be some of the best and most practical books that I have yet to come across (as well as some CD's, DVD's, and links to online video and audio resources). I have also included a number of books I haven't read yet but are on my "wish list". Usually these are by authors that I have read before, listened to audio or video interviews, and/or trust and respect for other reasons. To make browsing a little easier I am limiting the number of books on this page to less than fifty, and put them in the following categories: * Science/Metaphysical Science (Note: As more books are added there will be "overflow" pages with a link in each category - subscribe to the RSS feed and you'll know as more books and links are added ...) Many, if not most, of these books belong in multiple categories, but I will try to place them in the niche that is most relevant. Thank you for visiting Metaphysics-for-Life and browsing the metaphysics books I have found valuable and recommend. NOTE: Wherever possible, I have linked to Amazon's Kindle version of each book. Why? Save money, save the Earth - and you don't need a Kindle if you don't have one. Just click on Kindle for PC to download the free application, and start reading your metaphysics self-help and/or new age book immediately! Science/Metaphysical Science Lynn McTaggart's "The Field" is one of the most powerful and important books I have read and can recommend. I think of this book as "the red pill" (as in the movie "The Matrix") that showed me the truth of the nature of our physical reality, and the impact my mind and emotions have upon it. Lynn travels the world, interviewing scientists who have done extensive research and experiments into the nature of the quantum Field that connects everything. A "must read" on my list of metaphysics, new age, and self help books!
Would you like to know the science behind the power of your thought and emotion? David Hawkins, PhD presents an in-depth and reliable reference guide for understanding and monitoring the potential impact of your feelings and beliefs upon your environment. Not all thoughts are created equal! This book eliminated much of the confusion I once had about an individual's influence upon The Field. Very helpful information you won't find anywhere else.
Although I have not read "Biology of Belief" by Bruce Lipton, PhD, I have listened to over ten hours of audio and video presentations by Bruce on the subject (see Bruce Lipton: Biology of Perception video (it's on Metaphysics For Life: Applied Metaphysics page). Whereas "The Field" and "Power vs Force" focus on our influence upon and connection to the environment, "Biology of Belief" explains the effect of thought and feeling upon the human body. Another "must read" (or listen) on my list.
Gregg Braden is a scientist devoted to the exploration of ancient wisdom and modern scientific research. His book "Fractal Time" is included in my list of recommended books because of Braden's emphasis on applying science and spirituality to everyday life. There is a critical need for this kind of useful information backed by scientific research in today's challenging world.
More powerful than "The Matrix", "Down The Rabbit Hole" will give you the quantum science background you need to fully appreciate the true nature of human perception and what we believe is our physical reality. You will want to watch this DVD over and over again to absorb this rich scientific exploration into mind, matter, and the true nature of our Universe. Metaphysical Philosophy (The Basic Works of Aristotle) Before science and technology existed to explore and explain the nature of non-physical aspects of our Universe, there was Philosophy. Metaphysical philosophy, or "First Philosophy" dates back to the Greek philosopher Aristotle, who was born around 385 BC and studied under Plato. I personally think it's a good idea to know something about where metaphysical ideas and theories come from, and how they have shaped the understanding and exploration of scientists, theologians, and philosophers to this day.
Aristotle's "First Philosophy" from the perspective of French philosopher, scientist, and mathematician Rene Descartes (1596-1650). A short, but deep, exploration into the first principles that shaped the development of metaphysical science and philosophy.
It's difficult to categorize a book like "A Course In Miracles". I chose Philosophy because in my experience the Course is about achieving a new system of thought. The constant references to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in my mind seems to limit the concepts that are put forth to the Judeo/Christian religions. However, if you can get past that (or if it doesn't bother you in the first place) then what you will ultimately find in the Course is an exploration of the truth of who we really are. An excellent book to read before reading "A Course In Miracles" is Gary Renard's "Disappearance of the Universe". Gary's book puts the Course in perspective in a way that makes it much more user friendly.
The "Ringing Cedars" series by Vladimir Megre is another hard-to-categorize series of books. In the end, however, along with being a fascinating story from Russia (and a reconnection with ancient Russian wisdom) this series of easy to read books leads to an entirely new way of thinking about the world and the potential of one's self in it. The timing of this series is critical to the successful transition to a sustainable and livable existence for humankind on planet Earth. "Anastasia" is the first book in the series. A must read! Spirituality and Religion Who are we, really? What is the true nature of our relationship to each other and this world? What is this experience we call "God?" Thomas Harding's discovery of "The Headless Way" has opened up a path into spiritual enlightenment that frees us from dogma and belief. It is all based on real life experiments and experience. Read the book and explore the website for free lessons and explanations. I put this one first because I think it's the best!
Health, Home, & Environment I put this DVD first because once you see it you will never again be confused about the true nature of "healing". Healing is remembering who we really are. The signals sent to the body from a Mind that is connected to Source can only produce health, energy, and well being on every level. The methods really don't matter: It is the influence of Mind on the Living Matrix (or Field that connects everything) that creates results and produces the image of "healing". Absolutely a "must see"!
Money, Economy, Wealth and Success There seems to be an endless supply of books about creating financial abundance, wealth, and success. But I never read one like this before! Scheinfeld cuts to the chase in this, his latest book, and doesn't mince words about what is really going on in our financial and business lives...and we all participate in business; as consumers, employers, employees, business owners, investors, etc. etc. etc. This book is about the very nature of what creates our physical experience, and how to "bust loose" from the Illusion of Separation. A Big One - highly recommend!
Entertainment and Media My initiation into the world of Metaphysics began in the mid 1960's with the premier of the Sci Fi TV series "STAR TREK". Now a world wide phenomenon, Star Trek has done more to educate and enlighten people about the true nature of the Universe and our place in it than any other book, movie, course, or lecture series ever. Star Trek is chock full of metaphysical principles and metaphors. And it's so very entertaining! What could be better than that. I encourage you to watch Star Trek with fresh eyes after learning a few things about Metaphysics. I trust you will be blown away! Watch all 72 episodes of the Original Series on YouTube for Free!
