Building a library of esoteric knowledge
Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
Edited by Stephen Mitchell, we’ve kept this version in our library for years, often throwing it in a backpack, leaving it on the guest room nightstand, or lending it to a friend not to see it for months.
The Taoist Classics, Volume One by various
Diving further into the core Taoist literature, The Taoist Classics includes the Tao Te Ching; Chuang-Tzu; Wen-Tzu; The Book of Leadership and Strategy; and Sex, Health, and Long Life. This collection is translated by Thomas Cleary, a prolific and renowned editor of Eastern thought.
My Big TOE, by Thomas Campbell
A Trilogy Unifying Philosophy, Physics, and Metaphysics: Awakening, Discovery, Inner Workings
This three-book work by nuclear physicist Thomas Campbell attempts to merge science and spirituality into one coherent framework, treating consciousness rather than matter as the foundation of reality. The first volume lays out the author’s background and the core conceptual groundwork; the second builds out a model of how individual consciousness interacts with a larger “digital” reality, covering topics like free will, ego, love, and the nature of psychic phenomena; and the third digs into the practical mechanics of that model, addressing how time and probability work, multidimensional awareness, and speculative ideas like teleportation, before tying the whole framework back to mainstream scientific and philosophical thought. Overall, the trilogy positions itself as a rigorous, non-mystical account of reality that folds subjective experience into an expanded but still scientifically grounded worldview.
The Silva Mind Control Method, by José Silva
The Revolutionary Program by the Founder of the World’s Most Famous Mind Control Course
If you want to learn how to harness the power of your own mind, this is the perfect starting point. Visualization, manifestation, just feeling better in general… this is the practical guide to doing just that.
Stalking the Wild Pendulum, by Itzhak Bentov
On the Mechanics of Consciousness
A quick, fun read with some super rad illustrations, this is an excellent explanation of a consciousness-founded reality written by a science guy who chased down the bigger questions he had about life and beyond. This book will make you think differently about the relationship between your body, brain, and soul, but will also change how you view your cat, rocks, a paperclip, and your fellow humans. This thin paperback gets passed around a lot within our circle, as it should be required reading for people who harbor the same questions we do.
The Others, by Diana Pasulka
UFOs, AI, and the Secret Forces Guiding Human Destiny
We were big fans of Ameircan Cosmic and its honest, scholarly approach to the phenomenon. Pasulka’s new book dives deeper into the topic of non-human intelligence through the lens of both history and a modern day framework, which, of course, includes artificial intelligence as part of the new conversation. We’ve preordered this ahead of its 7/28 release, and look forward to reviewing it here.
UFO Close Encounters, by Oliver Elliot
True Stories That Defy Explanation: Real-Life Sightings from Military, Pilots, Police, and Civilians Across the World
A collection of UAP encounter events throughout the years, some as recently as 2024. Some of these might sound familiar — Rendalsham, Malmstrom, Colares, the Phoenix Lights, while others you may have missed over the years. It’s a quick read, with each chapter reading like the script from an episode of Unsolved Mysteries… in a good way.
