Same here. It's been a while since you posted this JoWo, but if you read this post, your book is one of my favorites. Thanks much!

The website above now also lists some books and links on the subject of Integral Philosophy. If you've read a book or have an experience to share regarding the site, please let us know.

[Dan Millman's]

This is a great book! I've copied and pasted Dan Millman's own words below. If you like them, you may want to consider reading the book. Also here is a link to the author's website: http://www.danmillman.com//index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

My first really successful book was Way of the Peaceful Warrior, followed by Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior, two narratives that blended fact and fiction.  Then I began a decade of non-fiction guidebooks like No Ordinary Moments, The Life You Were Born to Live, The Laws of Spirit, etc.

I came to a point where it seemed as if I had written what I have to write, and was contemplating a return to narrative stories and an end (as far as I could tell at that point) to my non-fiction guidebooks.  But one idea, one project, wouldn't let me go.  "Write me first!" it said.  You see, I had always loved collecting quotations; it has been a hobby for 20 years.  And I had a wonderful collection of quotations and anecdotes I thought would make a good compilation.  Only the publishers weren't really that enthusiastic.  "We want something written by you, Dan, not just your quotation and anecdote collection."  But my editor at New World Library saw a potential in the project, if I could just put it together in a compelling way. 

That's when I realized I also had collected quite an array of letters -- questions written to me over the years, and my responses (which our assistant said were really quite good).  That's when the idea came to me to present a number of what Socrates called "The House Rules" -- spiritual principles to help guide anyone through life.  So I ended up organizing the book around 24 of these essential house rules.

The book became my most reader-friendly book, because it could be read in bite-sized sections, about seven pages each section.  It begins with a question -- then I pose one of the house rules as an answer, and clarify what that rule is about with a short epigraph.  Then I included two questions and answers related to that central house rule -- along with some favorite quotations on that topic.   And the book was born.  It works that way, sometimes -- with an idea that hasn't quite come together -- with a sudden revelation about how it can all work.

My readers are still catching up to me, discovering that when you've read one Dan Millman book, you most definitely have not read them all.  And many who have read Living on Purpose: Straight Answers to Life's Tough Questions have said that it is their favorite for its accessible, practical wisdom and real-life examples. That's where the book came from. As to its destiny?  Only time, and readers' word of mouth, will tell...

Can you tell us more about the premise of the book without 'spoiling the ending'?

There is a great link: http://www.afterlife101.com/HESL.html

The search I've done has yielded no results, and that includes Googl, Google Video and You Tube. However it would be great to see a video/film/etc of Bob Monroe. Maybe another member will dig something up.

Anyone else reading this? I am currently 24 pages in and it is ingenious so far, could be one of my best reads of all time, if not the best!

This is a book that I read back in the mid-1990's when my dad was dying of cancer. It was an exceptionally helpful book at that time. I believe it was Chapter 11, not sure since I've since loaned the book out, that was particularly worthwhile in talking with my dad. I believe it is a must read. Thanks for posting this thread -

Hello, I'm Cassie from the greater Seattle area. I'm 20. I've been into projecting for a couple of years now, and I'm just starting to understand it a little more. Anywho, I have no friends that do it, and I was wondering if an experienced veteran owuld be interested in talking to me more one on one about things, I have a lot of questions and I don't want to fill up the entire board with things that might seem redundant! So if you're interested, just send me a PM!

Best wishes and welcome - I'd second what Stookie recommended - 

Yeah, personally I have no idea about the film.  Though, like they say in the beginning of it, "if it's real it's a world first, and if it's a hoax, it's certainly been done well".

Click this link: http://www.netro.ca/disclosure/npccmenu.htm to watch a video of a national press conference from 2001. It's worth watching.

I recently read Jim Marrs book on UFOs, Alien Agenda: Investigating the Extraterrestrial Presence Among Us and found it to be well done.

Whether it's real or a hoax, it's still an interesting short video. YOU be the judge. Oh, and if anyone knows what that language is at the end, and what it means, please let us know.
