Information today is more readily available than any other time in our recorded history. The problem remains finding not all the books with all there is to know about spirituality (you could fill a library with those) but the books you need to move forward now.
Tricky affair... it's not the same reading Jiddu Krishnamurti first and then all the rest, for instance.
I tend to recommend to people to start with Journey to Ixtlan, coupled with Autobiography of a Yogi.
Then they can move on to Osho, Nissar, Ramana, Jiddu and many many others.
Every teacher tends to come with their share of beliefs and their share of nay sayings.
What I'm warning against up there is starting with an **** saying "I the non-guru say that
no gurus nor additional teachings are necessary and this is final."
But in the end it's about what you are looking for. Everybody has a reason of their own for entering this affair of the paths of the Spirit.
