So i began my intellectual journey.
My yoga teacher recommended me Siddharta, loved it.
I've heard about Demian, how is it? is it easy to read and simple like Siddharta?

The best thing you can do right now is stop. You have nothing to gain.
You don't believe me, of course -- and you'll persist in your pursuit of some vague, ill-formed idea of "enlightenment." You'll pour hours and hours into this quest, and each hour will make the final punchline funnier: that you were never lacking anything to begin with, that you have always been perfect, even in ignorance.

This.
There's nothing to be found at the 'end' of your journey.

these.
it's all meaningless banal. we are not here for any particular purpose. there is no pre-set meaning to existence. we are food for worms. we are stardust that is aimlessly adrift.
still, wisdom is not something you can learn from others, unfortunately, as >>7834819 said. but you'll come to this conclusion on your own. and you'll laugh like a madcap.

You guys do realize that for some peope "intellectual journey" entails something other than reading Marx and Marx commentators all day while feeling sorry that no one wants to fuck you?
My advice to you OP is just to open your mind as possible. I know it sounds corny, but knowledge is like love: You'll never find it exactly where you look for it, but the looking is a necessary (and often fun) thing to do in order to let it come to you.
