Introducing the CC Gypsy Library

[Shawn King]

OK, so how about instead of just talking about books and such, we circulate them amongst each other? I'll start by sending Gizelle the "Creating a life together" book mentioned in the non-profit thread. When she is done, she can send it to another interested party, or keep it. I also have a DVD on Cob/natural building, show-and-tell interview style not a how to, with some mindblowing living/meditation temple spaces shown towards the end. Any one want to "check it out?"

If you have media to share that other than posting here, let everyone know and share around. If it needs to come back to you, you can stipulate that as well. Hey, snail mail is still good for something, right? Just share your address as part of the exchange...

Hey everyone im currently reading power vs force by David R Hawkins. I havent gotten too far but it is very intriguing it speaks about consciousness from a scientific viewpoint and also has detail on how to calibrate your level of consciousness. I havent gotten to deep into it yet but its very interesting. If anyone does pick it up i reccomend keeping a dictionary at your side just so you make sure you dont miss out on anything because the author speaks very verbosely so i like to keep the dictionary around as i read it, to make sure i dont misinterpret anything. Ive been enjoying it i think others would too!

Been rereading 'The New Earth' by Eckhart Tolle... been amazing to come back to..
Seriously consider this and 'Power of Now' two of the most important books ever written in regards to their impact on human consciousnesss...
These are the two books I recommend most highly to anyone on a spiritual path

Thinking about leading some kind of informal discussion or study group on them at some point... wheels are turning :)

Shawn and Eric,

Check out http://drop.io , this should be a good solution, simpler and more powerful than ftp.

I have several different NVC books and some CD-ROMs and DVDs. However, most of this at my future ex-wife's. I'll try to see what I can gather and make available. I really love Marshall Rosenberg's CDs and DVDs. Exciting stuff.

I've read Power of Now and I'm interested in other Tolle books, whoever is interested in sharing. I'm also interested in Rumi poetry.

IMHO, everyone who was at the July retreat has a great start on understanding NVC, whether you know it or not :-) ! The key is to start with the sense of presence, love, understanding and intention that you all already seem to know how to connect with in yourselves. Start there and then layer the NVC model on top. I've found NVC to be a very powerful tool myself, but really have an awareness of the "trap" that words can have. Its not about the words at all, its about the consciousness. I like the saying that the language of NVC is a map, its not the territory.

The Power of Now was incredible. It is amazing to look back and observe the law of attraction in action. Just one month before waking up from deep entrenchment in the mind I saw his book advertised online, and I didn't think anything of it. Had no idea what the title of the book conveyed. After realizing I had always been the now, I came across his book again and immediately purchased it. Definitely one of the greatest books on consciousness, especially if you are in the midst of such a blissful opening. Haven't finished A New Earth, but from what I read it felt like the book conveyed what would naturally follow as more and more people realize the power of the now for themselves.

I have a copy of the NVC book offered during our advance. While reading I will write some of my thoughts down for others to reflect on.

It will work itself out, I'm sure, but I have some web space at the moment that I'm learning (slowly) how to use. The intention of the site is to create content that attracts people who may receive something helpful and appropriate on their journey. I'm always open to any ideas or suggestions for this site.

I have a list of twelve books most of which are regarding empowerment that I'd like to send out into the CC community. All I am asking is for you to pay the shipping and a dollar for my trouble to the post office. Please contact me if interested. I have a paypal account. I'm going to begin selling things and having people pay me that way to start putting money away for the Hawaii retreat in January which I definitely plan to be attending. Clearly this is an honor system and therefore I am offeringit through this site before advertising elsewhere. The books are in excellent condition. A few are a bit yellow which means they are not of collectible value but they are not damaged, written in or highlighted. A few are even hardcover. I may also offer an exchange but only if you have something that I *must* get my hands on. I do not expect any of these to return to me. Some I have read and want others to love as I have and some I haven't read, read parts of or didn't find personally useful (but that doesn't mean there isn't someone on this website that won't). Shoot me a note and I will email you my list ASAP. :-)
