Groups Discussing A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

Audible Books to recommend 547 books / 281 members / 1272 posts I thought it would be nice to have a list of books that people have read that are on audible (downloads from Audible.com & library CDs are my choices). I've created quite a wish list, making sure that it is listing books that can be listened to -- otherwise, no point in thinking about it. We are so lucky to have such an incredible selection of books to listen to now -- it's a whole new world and just in 5 years! I used to read 3 books a year if I was lucky -- now it's more like 30 books now that I can listen -- I love it!!

Note: When members write down the books they have read -- give at lease a two word critique, even if as simple as the star system -- it's more helpful to see that than the list of books one PLANS to read. Also, mentioning the book name in one's Reply, allows the reader to see what you are referring to when reading from a remoter unit (i.e., phone).

A Gathering of Goddesses 196 books / 97 members / 1935 posts This is a discussion group for Goddesses of ALL descriptions. Whether you are fully embracing your Divine Feminine or just awakening, we welcome your insights! For if we are not here to share with one another, then why be here at all?

Seekers 320 books / 633 members / 2072 posts This is a group for those who seek to know the truth about how to live their lives. To join together in the quest for wisdom and the "meaning of life". We will read books that will open our eyes to new ideas, and this group will be a safe place for all to share their thoughts, no matter how outlandish or unconventional they may be. The only rule is to respect the ideas of others and to acknowledge where they are in their life search, that no one is absolutely right in their views, but we are all searching and have the right to search for new thought.

50 Book Challenge! 4880 books / 4797 members / 32746 posts Welcome to the 50-Book Challenge!
We are not listless. In fact, we love lists ...

Many of our lists can be found by using the link below:

http://astore.amazon.com/allencotrip-20

Our challenge is to read 50 books in one year. OR ... establish a goal for yourself more or less, it's up to you, just because we say 50 books doesn't mean that has to be your goal too.

To join, all you need to do is start a thread, WITH YOUR NAME IN THE SUBJECT OF YOUR ORIGINAL POST, and log your books (with title and author, please.) Reviews are always welcome as well. It is a very good idea to bookmark your post (when in your post, add it to your internet browser's favorites)for quick access for future updates. Things move quickly around here.

If you haven't been keeping track of the books you've read, start when you join.

I enjoy reading your lists, and my TBR pile has grown as a result and I've read books I wouldn't have otherwise (The Hunger Games, I'm talking to you ...)

It doesn't have to be all lists all the time, though ... People enjoy it when you comment on their lists as well, so when you update your list ... take a minute and browse around. You never know what you might find. (Water For Elephants, I'm talking to you.)

Broads Book Club 60 books / 10 members / 230 posts Private group for the Broads who love to read, eat, drink and discuss books.

For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don't have anybody to share it with.
In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community.”

Spirituality, not Religion 27 books / 21 members / 5 posts Readers and thinkers on books that deal with spirituality, not necessarily religion. Just readers who want to intelligently discuss any metaphysical type book.

Mentoring Men 83 books / 346 members / 1696 posts This group is for building up men in every aspect : spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, socially and financially and in any other area not covered.

This will be the place to find fathers to lead the way.

RULES:

NO religious debates. Take that up in a forum that is designed for religious debates. Refer to only your religious beliefs in that they help form your opinion. Do not speak of the tenants of a faith that is not yours.

NO personal attacks. Do not use a member's name or any pronouns referring to a member with ANY derogatory comment. Do not use any descriptions that demean a person's character, intelligence or belief's.
NO direct advertising.
NO woman-bashing, as this does not promote the goal of up-building men.

Do censor your own comments prior to submission to ensure that they are respectful of the other members in the group.

Do pause before submitting in a heated discussion and take a second look at what you are about to submit.

Recommendations:
Be specific and don't use generalizations. When debating, be sure to counter specific points made and address the member who made the point.

Give people the benefit of doubt. This is the Internet therefore you don't have the vantage point of reading body language.

Ask for clarification. Ask questions. We could avoid a lot of hurt feelings if we first ask if a person is saying what we think they are saying.

State your position without expectation. The goal is to be heard and share your position. We're not here to win converts.

If you do feel attacked, address the offender directly and let them know that what they said (and be specific)hurt, upset, or concerned you. And communicate this without countering with an insult. It's hard to listen when you're feeling attacked.

When stating statistics provide the cite (web link, article, book).
Do title your discussion topic so that it spans all religions, and cultures and will spur interest.

Meditation and Inspiration 76 books / 154 members / 2474 posts Words of inspiration can be a great guide to Meditation. Words have the power to take us within our own hearts.

"When you percieve the light of your own Heart permeating the entire Universe, you have the amazing experience of oneness. The mind is so astonished by this divine splendor that all it wants to do is lower its head in awe and follow the command of the Lord. The experience never leaves you. Everywhere you go, it is with you."
by Gurumayi Chidvilasananda
