Needleman, Jacob. Money and the Meaning if Life (Doubleday/Currency, I994),
and Time and the Soul (Berrett-Koehler, 2003). These two books have helped
me alter my own attitudes about both money and time, furthering my spiritual work in the physical world. These can help with Chapter 6.
Nightmare, M. Macha, and Starhawk. The Pagan Book if Living and Dying
(HarperSanFrancisco, I 999). This is the only book of its kind. Includes articles by Thorn and many others.
Ouspensky, P. D. In Search if the Miraculous: Fragments if an Unknown Teaching
(Harvest Books, 200 I ). A key book to help understand human automatism
and how to become more self-aware and less of a machine.
Palmer, Wendy. The Intuitive Body: Aikido as Clairsentient Practice (North Atlantic
Books, I 999, revised). Holds good exercises to get one in touch with one's
body as a holistic and psychic force.
Pert, Candace B. Molecules if Emotion: The Science Behind Mind-Body Medicine
(Simon and Schuster, I 999). Dr. Pert has written an interesting entry into
nondualistic science that shows how integrated consciousness really is.
Plonka, Lavinia. What Are You Afraid Of? A Body-Mind Guide to Courageous l.ivin.�
(Tarcher/Penguin, 2004). For an excellent resource on how fear lodges in our
bodies and controls us, read this. It will show you clear ways to unprogram
yourself.
Scholem, Gershom. Kabbalah: a Definitive History if the Evolution, Ideas, 1-l'adil(l; r.:�
ures and Extraordinary lnjluence if jewish Mysticism (Meridian, 1 978). Sdl!lh-111
writes an excellent text for those wanting to further underst and t he Triple
Soul.

Appendix: Reudin'5s und Resources
Shirley, John. Gurdjeiff: An Introduction to His Life and Ideas (Tarcher/Penguin,
2004 ). Gurdjieff's work has had a great influence on my thinking and is helpful to Feri students. This is a good introductory book, a little more storyoriented than Ouspensky's more technical book.
Starhawk. Dreaming the Dark: Magic, Sex, and Politics (Beacon, I 997). A great
book on merging spirit and politics.
The Spiral Dance: The 20th Anniversary (HarperSanFrancisco, I 999). A
Witchcraft powerhouse, first published in I 979. Includes some Feri material,
if you look closely.
Sulak, John, and V. Vale. Modern Pagans (Re/Search Publications, 2002).
Includes interviews with some Feri practitioners, including Thorn. See www.
researchpubs.com.
Toomer, Jean. Essentials: jean Toomer. Edited by Rudolph P. Byrd (Hill Street
Press, I 999). Reflections on the spiritual life. Not Witchcraft, but quite
insightful, written by Gurdjieff student and important African-American
writer of the classic Cane.
