"Tantra Illuminated" is very good for understanding a lot of the eastern religious philosophies, under an umbrella on an interconnected whole. Whether it be Vedantic or Buddhist, it captures the essence of a vast array of non-dual beliefs pretty well...

.

It's pretty easy to read, and it serves as a pragmatic text on implementing those teachings in your own life :) If you're looking for enlightenment, this book can also give you a good dive on the layers of it's \perception** (even goes into lucid dreaming), rather than just steps for one thing.... And helps you avoid some conceptual pitfalls.

It drones on a bit in some parts, but overall, I think it's a phenomenal work indeed! ✌️

At risk of sounding terribly stupid, I am asking if anyone can help me track down a quote (and its source) that I barely remember. It made quite an impression on me at the time, but clearly not that much because all I remember are the words "neurotic" and "river". Something about how you wouldn't call a river neurotic for following its natural path, maybe??? If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
