Paul Brunton and Anthony Damiani Paul Brunton - I have only read the one book and am very impressed. It's the same wisdom that I get from Nisargadatta and Jean Klein. His amazing "notebooks" are available online By Clicking Here.
Here is a random quote from the notebooks: | | "Remorsefully acknowledge weaknesses in character and confess sins in conduct in a repentant, self-humbling attitude. Be quite specific in naming them. Also confess the limitations, deficiencies, and imperfections one is aware of. Second, ask for strength from the Higher Power to overcome those weaknesses, for light to find Truth, and for Grace. The qualities needed to counteract them should be formulated in definite terms. This confession is an indispensable part of the philosophic devotions. When it is sincere and spontaneous, it makes a proud man humble and thus opens the first gate in the wall of Grace. It compels him to become acutely conscious of his ignorance and ashamedly aware of his weakness. The praying person humbles the ego and breaks up his vanity, therefore he must not hide his mistakes or look for excuses. Only through such frankness can the time come when he will get the strength to overcome that mistake. This confession forces the praying person down to the ground and his self-respect with him, like a humiliated beggar. In his anguish, he constantly rediscovers his insufficiency and need of help from God or God's man. 5. Squatting and submission." - The Body, Paul Brunton |
Anthony Damiani - A student of Pauls and very insightful. The man has a very deep wisdom in his writing and an uncommon knowledge of Astrology. Click on the book cover image for the quotes | | | Notebooks of Paul Brunton: The Ego, Vol. 6

A book about Reincarnation and Karma. When reading this part I kept asking 'How can he know this?'. Paul seems to have much of the same knowledge delivered by Seth on the same topic. In the section on Karma, Paul has several quotes discouraging Fatalismbut later in thesection he speaks of mans helplessness and the real lack of freedom we possess.
