The Unseen

The world of reason can be narrow and filled with dead ends, while a spiritual viewpoint is limitless and invites fantastic possibilities. The unseen world is boundless.

...

The practice of spirituality is a way of looking at a world where you're not alone.

p.32

This is a reference list of the books I've read (physical and eBooks) and listened to, which over time may wind up being linked to reflections or quotes in this commonplace book. 

The entry details are based on the Modern Language Association's 2021 standard for citation (MLA), and will be tidied up over time to adhere to the standard for parenthetical and narrative styles. 

User-controlled groupings and filters will also be added to over time, as will new books I read.
