Scripture and Readinglist

Here I share the scriptures, books and texts that I have been reading during my journey, books that have been truly transformative and written by true teachers that resonate with my process of awakening to the reality of What Is. Of course this list is not exhaustive, but it represents the path I walked and whom I walked it with. So I do not call this recommended reading, but just reading list. I hope some of them will accompany you on your path. Each one of them are a gift of God to support awakening for us and for God.

Come back to this section as it will be updated continually.
