[Jordan Bates]( Apr 11   [READ IN APP](   🌿 Retreat Update: Hey Family, just letting you know we now have only 2 spaces left for our [upcoming retreat]( 26th - June 1st. We expect these final spaces to be filled soon. So if you sense in your heart you’re meant to experience a Sacred Reset in Mexico with Ayahuasca, Bufo, and soulful community, now is your moment to [schedule a call with us to speak heart-to-heart about it](. [Schedule a Call With Our Team]( Books are amazing companions on the path of truth and integration. Many of the wisest and most impactful human beings of all time were avid readers. And there’s good reason for that. Books allow us to rapidly absorb the distilled wisdom of savants and sages. And especially when we learn to implement and take action on what we read in books… That’s when our lives can really blossom. So, in honor of my love of books, today I’d like to share with you 9 books that are great reads for psychedelic integration (and simply life in general)… 📖 9 Books for Psychedelic Integration - [Total Money Makeover]( by Dave Ramsey — This might seem like an odd place to start, but I believe many people would be best served by focusing on the opposite of their comfort zone. For many spiritual and psychedelic people, spirituality has become a comfort zone, but they are neglecting the material and practical dimensions of life. This book is an excellent wake-up call and pragmatic guide to ordering your financial life. Schools don’t teach the fundamentals of personal finance. This is such a crucial area to master and it affects everything else. Focusing on mastering this area will be a grounding and humbling initiation, catalyzing you to prioritize the creation of solid, well-ordered life-foundations. - [The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship]( by Don Miguel Ruiz — My dad always says, “Family and friends are life’s greatest treasures.” In my heart I feel he’s right. On our deathbed, what will matter more to us than the people gathered around us? And yet strangely, schools don’t really teach the art of relationship and wise communication. Many of us never study this at all. So, it’s worth taking the time. Mastering the art of loving relationships can mean the difference between broken homes & divorce VS fulfilling lifelong marriages & strong families. This book is a great place to start. - [The Power of Now]( by Eckhart Tolle — This is one of the simplest, clearest, and most approachable books of all time on the topic of suffering-reduction, healing, and truth-realization. Most modern people spend their lives focusing on everything except the immediate experience of NOW. And yet it turns out that ‘being here now’ without describing or defining anything, is the portal to the greatest discovery of human life: The direct apprehension of [Divinity](. The audiobook version of this book is read by Tolle himself and is incredible, and [it’s free on Spotify]( if you have Spotify premium. - [King, Warrior, Magician, Lover]( by Moore and Gillette — For decades this book has been a cornerstone of the ‘men’s work’ movement, and there’s a good reason for that. This book is an excellent map of holistic masculine development, pointing toward the Fullness of Sacred Masculinity. We live in a time when men are killing themselves at alarming rates. Many men feel deeply lost and confused. This book helps illuminate a pathway toward a meaningful life and identity as a man. It’s recommended for men, though women may also find it valuable. And if this book strikes a chord, I recommend looking into [men’s work](. - [Siddhartha]( by Herman Hesse — Herman Hesse is one of my all-time favorite novelists. His books are truly wonderful. Stories are important for mankind; they touch the human heart in profound ways that other books do not. This book weaves an epic tale about a man on a quest for enlightenment. Its wisdom runs deep. - [Letting Go]( by David Hawkins — In this book, Hawkins elaborates a path to healing and letting go of wounds/blockages that are preventing the realization of freer states of consciousness. Hawkins details a simple yet profoundly powerful technique called the ‘Letting Go Technique’ that can be used anytime, anywhere to skillfully process emotions and lead us toward higher, lighter, freer stages of human development. This book has changed countless lives and there’s good reason for that. [Read more about it here](. - [Dirty Enlightenment]( by Peter Brown — [Peter Brown]( changed my life more than any other modern teacher of the path of enlightenment. His style is quite subtle and his language might be jarring at first, but for those who are ready to hear his message, it is unbelievably freeing: THIS, NOW, is the [Finish Line](. You are already IT. Immediate experience is always already a miraculous self-blossoming celebration. - [The End of Your World]( by Adyashanti — I love the teaching style of Adyashanti. It’s a beautiful infusion of heart-full loving softness with razor-sharp liberating wisdom. This book is quite unique, in that it is a guide to the post-awakening process. It is a guide to integration after one has experienced some kind of deep non-dual awakening. Truly a gem. - [The Harry Potter Series]( by J.K. Rowling — I recommend reading these, or any other books you loved as a child. There’s something really, really special about revisiting books that we loved during our childhood. It’s like reconnecting to certain essential keys and puzzle pieces for understanding our own souls. Stories nourish the soul. The 7-book Harry Potter series is my all-time favorite written work of art. There You Have It All right, I hope this list of books was useful and inspiring for you in some way. If you read any of these, feel welcome to reach out and let me know how you liked them. And… What would you add to this list? I’m always curious to learn of other great books. Take good care. Stay strong. Keep the faith.
