"Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East"

[BarnGoddessAlways]

Before finding the series of books I had dreams about them.........they are very much reality....just as we as spirit will exist 1000s of years from now and the physical around us may/ will not.....the spiritual part of us is more real than the physical..........

Sadly, it is essential to some to discredit spirit.....not to worry...just know what you know...be happy.

I'm saddened to see so many good people and serious seekers continuing to be taken in by this hoax. Spalding's close friend and associate waited until after his death in the early '50s to tell what really happened, so the information has been available for a long time. Spalding made the whole journey to Tibet up, it's all fake. Sorry folks. There are lots of books like this. Please look into this more closely.

Have you read "Path of The Masters". I just started skimming through it.

The great strength of Buddism is that its adherents are free to choose truth from all religions; such freedom of choice has seldom been characterized in earth religions. The willingness to appropriate truth from any and all sources is indeed a commendable tendancy to appear among religious believers since the 20th. century.
Buddhism itself is undergoing a major renaissance in the east. Couple this movement with the emergence of China as a superpower and you have the makings of a provocative melding in religious evolution.

Pawporri, Yes, I have read "Path of the Masters" very good book, lots of insights, you'll enjoy the book. The thing about Buddhism is, it is not a religion, there is no deity to be worshipped, one is free to expand their beliefs in any direction they choose.

I had 'ah-ha!' moments from 'The Seat of the Soul' by Gary Zukav and, for some who are more advanced, there are the Alice Bailey books. The Bailey books are dense and sometimes difficult. There are frequently two meanings in them and the second is only 'got' by those who have had certain experiences on the path. I have found them worthy of re-reading.

I have just read some first chapters of this book, but I immediately realized that it is the best book I studied. Although I have a deep knowledge about science, I also know that it has its own limit simply because of its approaches and assumptions. Hope that you find it useful.

[TRANSPONDER]

It is depressing to see how easily those who know and understand science (or say they do, anyway) can be completely blown away by someone pandering to the innate longing to know all the answers by coming up with a lot of spirit force speculation.

Whether you believe it or not there have been many links from Quantum Physics now relating to this philosophy, and reality with contemporary belief is changing after the trials of the Christian Church and its hypocrisy and controlling natures. There are mysteries about Spalding himself. Is it possible that, assuming this book has truths, Spalding was in India via the form of a dream or out of body experience? That would explain him not having physically been to India until after the book was published. I too cannot stop myself from transporting my mind into other "worlds" as a "dreamer". I happen to be a writer, a visonary, and someone who wishes to unlock mysteries.
And I'm not the only one.

I read the books many years ago , in college in fact, I would like to reread them but I do not know what happened to my copies. (they are probably somewhere along side Castanada's works.)
They hold a lot of interesting lessons and sotires, but need to be taken in the allegorical context in which they were intended.
