I mentioned in the CWG thread that I had difficulty applying the principles in CWG to my daily life, and that I had found other sources that filled in the gap.
There are 4 sources that come most to mind and each deals with a different aspect of spirituality. 2 are by non-physical teachers (they are "channeled" in a similar fashion to how CWG was brought through - though, I know Neale says CWG isn't channeled, I think he has a different understanding of the term than I do) and 2 are by people.
The first is Abraham, a group of beings who are channeled by Esther Hicks (who works with her husband Jerry). They have a body of work which they call "The Science of Deliberate Creation" and it is by far the best stuff I've seen anywhere on the subject of deliberately creating our lives through thought. In my opinion, this is a natural next step after CWG because it explains in depth the process of conscious creation that CWG only touched on. If you want to learn how to manifest ANYTHING, from health, to a relationship, to prosperity, a castle or a button, this is the place to look.
This is one of those sources that seem to have an answer to everything. It provides a complete understanding of how life works and gives a framework for dealing with any problem you might encounter. It is a complete system and cosmology... where you think "Oh my God, this explains everything and teaches everything I would ever need to know!" The funny thing is, there are several sources that seem to do this ;D
A large amount of info can be found on their website:
www.abraham-hicks.com/welcome.html
Check out their free workshop transcript and the "Newsletters" section.
The second source is by Orin, a guide channeled by Sanaya Roman. Orin's material starts off dealing with simple, accessible subjects (prosperity, how to live joyfully and without struggle) and later delves into more esoteric matters (meditative energywork, psychic development, channeling, and other stuff that's much more "far out"). I feel that the best books to start off with for this author are "Living with Joy" and "Creating Money." CWG talks about things from a "bird's eye view" of life. Orin (and Abraham) comes down to earth and discusses things closer to home... different ways of thinking about and perceiving events, understanding everyday things from a higher perspective, etc.
Orin and Abraham's work are 2 other of the highest sources of wisdom I've ever encountered (CWG is another). Is it as good as CWG? I feel they are better - just my preference though.... it is difficult to compare since they all deal with different things.

2 other sources by human authors that stand out:
"The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1577311523/o/qid=956083656/sr=2-1/103-9126928-6388661
The best book I know of on living in the present moment. If you've read CWG, you'll hear many concepts echoed and see them in a new light. This is another body of work that seems to present a complete system for dealing with anything in life.
"The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1878424319/ref%3Dsim_books/103-8828354-0207034
I didn't think I'd get much out of this book at first... the 4 agreements he describes on the inside flap of the cover seemed simple and hardly earth shattering. Once I started reading though, and I saw the full implications of living life through that approach I was amazed! To put it simply, if you can implement these 4 "agreements", it can eliminate all experiences of pain and suffering and lead to a life of continual joy. It is yet ANOTHER "complete" system that seems to have all of the answers.
As I think about it, Abraham and Eckhart Tolle also teach ways that lead to this (living in a state of joy and grace)... It's interesting how each of them lead to the same "place" though they have vastly different approaches. I guess it's another reminder that there are no "wrong" paths, that all paths lead Home.
