I'll second this and say you should also read Be Here Now by Ram Dass. Pic related.

Read the collective works of the following individuals: Alan Watts, Terence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson, GI Gurdjieff, PD Ouspensky, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Carl Jung, Ram Dass and Aldous Huxley.

Thoroughly reject all forms of relativism and postmodernism. And always remember to laugh.

“Laughter brings you to reality as it is. The world is a play of God, a cosmic joke. And unless you understand it as a cosmic joke you will never be able to understand the ultimate mystery.”

When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips.
