Hard on Twitter. You can read DeMello, J Krishnamurti, Jed McKenna, Michael Singer, Rupert Spira, Osho, Tolle, etc.. Different ones appeal to different people.

Nihilism is the product of straight, cold reasoning with no illusions. Non-dualism is best experienced via a serious meditation practice. See @KapilGuptaMD, Jed McKenna, Osho, Schopenhauer, Anthony DeMello, Eckhart Tolle, Michael Singer.

I read The Power of Now very early on. It was hugely influential to me. It's a great book. I highly recommend it as a good starting point for beginners who are kind of interested in the whole consciousness philosophy thing.

Krishnamurti was incredibly influential on me. When I first read him in my late thirties, it was like a bomb went off in my head. He was speaking in a language that was completely removed from my own. He wrote in a very complex form of English where he used certain words in a way that didn't line up with what I had learned over my entire life. But it had the feel of truth to it. He laid out a clear, consistent, and integrated philosophy of what it means to be conscious and free. That said, it's a very advanced read. I've given Krishnamurti to some of my friends and they just hand it back and tell me that it didn't make any sense to them. I think it's better to start with something simpler like Eckart Tolle, Adyashanti, Jed McKenna, or Osho.

@blusoup Start with "The Power of Now" if you haven't read it yet. If inspired, move to meditation.

For example I was reading The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, which is a fantastic introduction to being present for people who are not religious. He basically shows you that the single most important thing is to be present, and hammers it home over and over again until you get it.
