Guest guest Posted February 23, 2000 Report Share Posted February 23, 2000 There is a Paul Brunton email list, to the "wisdom-l" email list through www.spiritweb.org . I think you have to start a membership with spiritweb to but there's no charge. During his later years PB wrote 10's of thousands of brief notes. These are published in the "notebooks" series and on CD-Rom. One or two of these notes are sent out to the email list each day. sample follows, Roger Paul Brunton: >THE REVERENTIAL LIFE > >Surrender- > > But before he can even attempt to surrender the > underself, he must first begin to feel, however > feebly and however intermittently, that there is an > Overself and that it is living there deep within his > own heart.
