Happy birthday, Bill! I've got a whole bunch of great "spiritual" books you should check out ASAP in order to get a fresh viewpoint on things and escape the dry and dusty halls of philosophical/mental complexity.

I suggest:

1. The Tao of Pooh
2. The Teh of Piglet
3. The Inner Tradition of Yoga
4. The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity (out of print now, I think)

None of them say a word about "God", hell, heaven, or anything else like that...but I think you'd find them good reading.

And to get a traditional North American Indian viewpoint, I suggest:

"Seven Arrows" by Hyemeyosts Storm. (also out of print, but you can find used copies on Amazon, I should think)
