I am looking for literature that seems to transcend the drama that seems so trivial and all encompassing. I'm not talking about any sort of religious or spiritual writing, unless your definition of spiritual is loose. I am looking for a work that transports your mind, travels up a ladder of consciousness, into places that you did not know existed inside of your mind. Perhaps Franz Kafka or Siddhartha would be the closest thing I can think of, but please no DADA/absurdism. That becomes noise to me, not worth paying attention to.

That's a good book, one of my favorites, but I do already know it. Thanks anyways, even if your post is very sarcastic and you sage my thread.

Those covers look weird and conspiratorial.

RAW is a little schlocky, but I can vouch for Gurdjieff.
