Joan Tollifsons List of Recommended Books. This list of recommended authors and books about nonduality and waking up is based on my own tastes and resonances and is in no way intended to be a comprehensive, definitive or authoritative list of nondual or spiritual books. Im not endorsing every single word spoken or written by any of these authors including Joan Tollifson. The list includes books from a variety of different perspectives Advaita, Buddhism, radical nonduality, Taoism, Sufism, Christianity, brain science, and so on. Words such as consciousness and awareness may be used differently by different authors, or even by the same author in different passages. Some of the books and authors listed below may appear to contradict each other. Some of them say that the entire movie of waking life including you and your whole spiritual journey is all nothing but a dream like illusion, while others appear to take the phenomenal manifestation and spiritual practice very seriously. Some insist that there is nothing to do other than exactly what is happening, while others offer some kind of apparent process, practice or method for waking up. Some seem to suggest that you have the power of choice, while others say there is no you and that everything is the result of infinite causes and conditions over which no one has any control whatsoever. Some say liberation is found in the realization of complete impermanence while others insist it comes with the recognition of That which never changes. Who has it right What should you believe As soon as you open your mouth, you go astray.
