Shamansun (Jeremy Johnson) recommended the following text on FB today, which looks quite interesting (I've added it to my list):

Evolving Dharma, by Jay Michaelson

An Inquiry into Modes of Existence, Bruno Latour (reading now)

Rejoicing: Or the Torments of Religious Speech, also by Latour -- and apparently a continuation of AIME, but as it relates to religious/spiritual rhetoric.

My Christmas gift (to myself), which I've added to my bedside stack:

The Bodhisattva's Brain: Buddhism Naturalized, by Owen Flanagan

The blurb reminds me of Batchelor's article "A secular Buddhism" in this post and following commentary.

I saw an ad today for an interesting-looking science fiction book (now on my to-read list):

The Abolition of Species, by Dietmar Dath

I love good sci-fi and this looks to be a good one. I'm especially interested in a new "ceramic form of postbiological life."

Which reminds me of this Star Trek episode featuring a silicon-based life form.

Balder created this Ning Network.

What paths lie ahead for religion and spirituality in the 21st Century? How might the insights of modernity and post-modernity impact and inform humanity's ancient wisdom traditions? How are we to enact, together, new spiritual visions – independently, or within our respective traditions – that can respond adequately to the challenges of our times?

This group is for anyone interested in exploring these questions and tracing out the horizons of an integral post-metaphysical spirituality.
