Yes, I love math, too. (But I don't remember saying it.) I even got an 
800 on my SAT and GRE in Math (but only got 750 on the Analytical, would 
have done better but I overanalyzed the puzzles and was running out of 
time.) I'm crazy enough that I bought an Algebra II book at a garage 
sale for 35 cents just because it was there.

I was surprised to find that one of the books you listed has both 
Mathematics and Spiritual Disciplines in the title (and it appears to be 
part of what's called the "Secret Doctrine reference series"). That "SD" 
in the title made me do an extra look, and I found that Amazon lists 19 
books that have "Secret Doctrine reference series" in the title.

Here's a lonnngggggggg link to those 19 books:

And I noticed that one of your enjoyed authors wrote books on both Math 
and Theology. I guess it's true that Math goes along with other things.

As I found the links for the below, I added other titles by the same 
author that looked equally interesting. Plus, I noticed that quite a few 
of these books linked here have a "LOOK INSIDE" feature, so we can read 
part of each book.
