Number One: Caduceus
So here we are, the first of the 20 esoteric spiritual books I recommend for enlightening reading.
Caduceus was given to me on my 25th birthday by my most beloved kindred Jamie. My hand buzzed and tingled with energy as I held it in my hands, I knew it carried information I had been seeking.
In the simplest terms, it covers everything! It makes a great reference book to esoteric subjects, it's great for rounding off a general interest in spirituality...I'd even recommend it to an atheist who wishes to know 'what we're all on about'; it has some compelling arguments may I add.
Caduceus is layed out wonderfully, sub categorised areas such as 'Stephen Hawking on God', 'Spiritual texts from the Middle East' and 'Astronomical anomalies in ancient times' are condensed into easy reading but very informative paragraphs. I particularly enjoyed the coverage on all sacred texts: the least tampered with and the most tampered with and the whole chapter dedicated to Science and its theories vs esoteric belief; revealing comments and claims by Darwin and Einstein themselves that were manipulated to make Scientific explanations sound 'concrete'.
Robert Hamilton introduces the reader to the fact that this book was the product of his own Kundalini experience (his awakening) and years of research and therefore concludes the book on the same note, it feels impossible to find any flaws and holes in his well studied discussions.
Caduceus covers only a little of each philosophy, theory, idea and experience but it lead me to think about what I wanted to explore next. You start to recognise what resonates with you, whether it's Taoism or Plato's Atlantis, you know what is right for your own path and where to look next.
