Just read three very good ones over the last week:
1.Dan Millman's latest: Journey of Socrates. 2.Wayne Dyer, The Power of Intention. 3.Greg Braden, The God Code. (This last one will blow your hair back: visionary.)

Andger, thanks for the recommendation. Ive not read it but some one else spoke highly of it.
Just as an aside, funny how the Universe opens astonishing things for us. I just moved to Santa Fe and got an entire 1/2 million house to care for for an absentee owner, housesitting for as long as I want - rent free. The Power of Intention!

It's cool. It's like much of the Law of Attraction stuff that's out there (cf. Chopra/Abundance, among others), though here presented with a background of ancient texts, a bit of science and a few cool stories - and the technique of prayer as an entry. Gregg's not the best of writers technically, but it'll be worth your while. Ever since I finished it, The God Code has been sitting on my shelf waiting to be read.
On a bit of another note, I reckon you'll also quite like Derrick Jensen's works.

Nice one! Reminds me of the flick called The Secret that Claire sent me the other day - which is also about the Law of Attraction / the Power of Intention and that kind of stuff... whatever we choose to call it... Goofy old universe, huh?

I am not one for fiction but my step-mum sent me The Codes of Power by Diana Cooper last week. I don't know that I'd recommend it by page 16 - it seems a bit Celestine Prophecy but is about people waking up to secret hidden powers of the universe. And the title fits the thread!
Funny, talking to my sister on the phone yesterday, our spiritual step-mum also gave her The Secret recently.
AND... If my baby due in December is a boy, Isaiah is on the shortlist of names.
As for Donald Duck, thank goodness no, but I am sick of Shrek thanks to Little Miss 2.

Yeah The Secret is great. Claire seems to be on a mission to get it out there. Glad she is. Thanks babes if you're reading this

A movie to look out for that I haven't seen yet is 10 Canoes - a Rolf De Heer film. The cast are Australian Aboriginal descendants of the people the story is based on. It was filmed on traditional land (and croc infested water). The creation of the film actually revived lost cultural practices, in respect of and adherence to cultural practices and it is spoken in language. It looks stunning. I've only seen documentaries based on the creation.
