Had a pretty busy work week, hardly got time to read anything. So still on The Sunlit Man by Brandon Sanderson.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

Today I've started ´The Voice of the Silence´ by Helena Blavatsky. It is a book that gives me good vibes, peace and calm. I've read about a 33% of it.

    The author discusses spiritual transcendence and describes the steps needed to achieve a higher state of the self in order to reach Nirvana. One of these steps, for example, is mentally detaching from pleasure and pain.
    That spiritual philosophy is a combination of Eastern religions like Buddhism or Hinduism and some Western elements similar to Gnostic Christianity. It’s called Theosophy.
