Recommended Reading #183: Humanity and Inspiration, Pt. XI

      “Farewell, Madiba. The giant is sleeping.” by Janet Sked ( Non-Sex-Related, History, Memoir, Politics ) 12/7/13

This struck me as a poignant, gripping account, part personal and part historic. The sense I get of the observation of one who is wise and aligned enough to eschew revenge or aggression feels deeply moving and grounding to me.

      “10 Life Lessons You Should Unlearn ” by Martha Beck (Non-Sex-Related, Self-Awarness, Psychology, Consciousness/Spirituality) 10/14/13

There’s a lot I find of deep value here. To me, number eight seems to deviate a bit from the depth and alignment I perceive in the rest of it, but I like the remaining numbers enough to still recommend it.

      “2012: End of the World or Consciousness Revolution?” by Stanislav Grof (Non-Sex-Related, Consciousness/Spirituality, Philosophy, Society) 5/7/12

All I feel I know to say about this is that it speaks to me. I have seen perspectives aligned with this presented before and have sensed one in myself as well. This is very resonant with me, and while it may not seem to make sense to some, I like the idea of its being spread to wide human audiences.
