Greetings family.  Please see below a list of readings specifically focused on spirituality.

Books on Kmtyw Spirituality. This is what eureurasiaans demonized and outlawed. To be whitenized, controlled, this had to be given up and forgotten. This is not an intellectual endeavor.

Would be great to invite Dr. Nehusi on here to discuss his book.  

Would anyone be interested in having an online discussion/ Q&A with authors about their books. I am thinking we select a book to read then invite the author potentially to interact with.   Who is down?

For those in this forum.  I want to ask again if we could select a book above to read and then invite the author if available to come on abibitumikasa to have a dialogue about the book. I will coordinate trying to get the author. I am sure he/she will be excited to do so. Generate interest in their work, give them a platform to interact with readers, give additional insights.  Please respond by indicating your interest. If we get at least 5-10 minimum I will proceed.

I thought of this work. Although it's primarily on philosophy it will fit I think.

Great news!  I just communicated directly with the author of this important work and he is all for coming on abibitumikasa and giving us an online discussion on the book and his work!  He is looking for first weekend in February or later.
