I don’t know where you are in life and what you’ve experienced, but speaking for myself, if you’ve been where I’ve been and you have arrived at a certain point of understanding, the book can be confirmation and, in a certain sense, enlightenment of the highest order. 
It’s a phenomenal book and one of its kind. A seminal spiritual and existential text. 
(Rather obscure though, interestingly enough for what it’s worth).

What would you recommend as cursory reading to make informed opinions? Sometimes I have a habit of reading an authors take and going in whole hog and transforming my view to what I’ve read most recently.

I’m really not sure. I’ve arrived at a point where given my own “journey” (in a sense) I know what I know I guess. Part of that is an undisturbed mixture of the faculties of intellect, intuition and perhaps emotion (which isn’t to discredit emotion(s) but I mean it in the sense that emotions are typically a byproduct I find, and if something “feels off” or bad then it can probably be categorized more so as something happening in/with intuition.)

Adding to this , if I had to give some books though, with much merit/truth, I’d recommend:
(I’ve not read a whole lot, but of what I know) >Ancient Greek philosophical writings
>Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Nature, The Over-Soul, and Intellect
>Ernest Holmes’ The Science Of Mind, The Hidden Power Of The Bible, and perhaps Effective Prayer
>Emmet Fox’s The Sermon On The Mount
>And probably too, Ralph Waldo Trine’s In Tune With The Infinite

I like that, often you can find revelations in random texts that add to your bank of knowledge or even metaphors. Grapes of Wrath and Wigan Pier being two totally random books I’ve read in the past that gave me great insight into the human psyche so I assume similar for spiritual realm.
 
Thank you for the insight brother I’ll be looking those up Emerson is an author that comes up often for me but I don’t think I’ve ever read any books.

That is what this thread is for. We are learning together. /x/ posters understand these as this is our niche, I understand a sliver of this stuff and that’s because I have cursory knowledge of religious texts and a healthy dose of “mental illness” [neuro-normative isn’t real].
