My toolbox
While I don't subscribe to any specific concept, ideologies, thoughts, religion and so on, I do have a bunch of materials (mostly in writing) that have helped me build and shatter my own belief system.
In the spirit of sharing or quenching your curiosities, I put up an incomplete list, not in any sequence.
A very BIG disclaimer:
Those contents do not matter to you, little value to you, as a guide or reference.
Please understand, that they remain mere words, no matter how ancient, philosophical-sound or sacred-like, UNTIL you make a commitment and start practice.
