Itzhak Bentov, a Czech born inventor and mystic was very interesting person. He tried to connect spirituality and physics or in other words tried to explain spiritual planes with tools of science. I have seen an interview with Bentov (not available on Google Video anymore), he was very nice and humble man.

What is important, Bentov never said his ideas are complete and ultimate truth. He said these ideas were only a model which needs to be verified and expanded. I highly recommend his books (Stalking the Wild Pendulum and A Brief Tour of Higher Consciousness), they cover a lot of interesting topics on spirituality. Quite simple diagrams and his drawings regarding evolution, consciousness, universe, kundalini energy and meditation are easy to understand for everybody.

Bentov’s ideas (taken from Wikipedia):

• Our bodies are mirrors of the whole universe, at every level.
• Vibration permeates all things.
• The universe and all matter is made of consciousness in the process of developing to higher levels.
• Our brains are thought receivers and amplifiers, not the source of thought.
• All knowledge that has ever been generated is potentially available to us from other consciousnesses somewhere in the universe.
• The universe is a hologram. The brain is a hologram interpreting a holographic universe.

I just saw “Peaceful Warrior” movie – it’s based on the book “Way of the Peaceful Warrior” by Dan Millman. In the beginning I felt there are too many slogans, but after a while I accepted the fact that so much information has to be packed up in only 2 hours long movie. When I passed that point I started to enjoy watching. Movie is nicely done: good music, good photography and interesting story.

There are many inspirational scenes, sometimes just small ones, but important. The movie is about fighting our own weaknesses and getting rid of Ego. You can perceive this film on many levels and it allows different people to enjoy the show – everyone can get it in his own way (spiritual, motivational or drama). It’s a good movie, I recommend it.

I like the official website of “Peaceful Warrior” as well. It has simple, clean but powerful design and typography, really nice music and peaceful atmosphere. You can also watch the trailer there.

“You will be amazed what you can do. All your life you have been waiting. Stop waiting. This moment is the only thing that matters.”

“Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle is one of the most powerful and profound books I have ever read. Tolle describes how mind is constructed and how it works. When you read it for a very first time it can be quite hard to understand because our Ego tries to protect itself, trick or make excuses and the book reveals all of it. However if you are familiar with subject of consciousness and subconsciousness you will find this book very inspiring. If you use simple techniques described in this book you may feel more aware, your view of world and yourself can be wider and you can benefit having more peaceful mind.

Nobody before written such a good manual how to use our minds properly. Highly recommended.
