Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East (Condensed Edition of Vols. 1-3)

These obscure spirtiual tales of Napal and Tibet, High Lamas and an International Metaphysics Research Team. All posturing that the Bible story miracles we grew up hearing are not only true, but true to our nature. Could this be the real story of Shangri-la? Didn't Jesus say of his miracles, "You will do this and more"?

For me, each chapter captures the imagination, challenges my concept of what is possible on a day to day basis, and inspires my heart with prayers and teachings that quicken my spirit. I've never found any prayers anywhere that are more "alive". When I am weary, they give me solice and immediate rejuvination. When I use them in a somewhat regular practice, I notice great accelarations in synchronistic flows, shifts into higher mental acuity, and sense complete ease.

Great Godly Goodies! That deep experience of full aliveness and being on track! It seems as if by being merely aligned with the concepts and prayers, my life is enhanced, "spritually turbo charged" in some way.

I don't know what Mr.Spaldings experience was. I chose, those many years ago to merely leave my mind open to the possibilities.

My experience has been so profound, consistant and longstanding, that I am prone to share the books again and again.

I am thankful to see them so easily available and so well recieved. Thank you GrandMother.

I first began reading "Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East" in 1969. In only the last year, did I discover Volume 6. These books hold timeless truth. I have read, and re-read them over the decades and their truth still rings clear. Compare them to Neale Donald Walsh, the same messages of man's (and woman's) oneness with All That Is echoes in the pages. I've found these messages echoed in the works of Dr. Doreen Virtue, Kyron and Dr. Bruce Goldberg. We are born to love and to learn (or remember) our Unity, to raise ourselves above the veil of separation that confuses so many in the material world. It doesn't matter if a reader has problems accepting the stories as real, go for the messages of the Masters; there you will find the path to your own enlightenment.

One of the best discussions of mans' true spiritual foundation without the usual religious viewpoints to cloud and take-up space. This is a must read for "everyone" even you church and religion people. You'll know if you want to read this set after reading the first volumn. They're relatively short and sweet.

It is inconceivable to me that anyone could read this set of books through and remain unchanged. The clarity and profound, yet simple, truths conveyed leave no doubt as to the veracity of the text. Mr. Spalding could not possibly have conjured all of this up!

Everyone is free to think what they want even if those thoughts condemn a person to the life that most of us are raised to live. This point was brought out over and over again in this work. My favorite passage from the book is: "Their are not less than one hundred and thirty million(aproximate population of the U.S. in the 1880's) masters in the U.S. alone and further proof of this is that noone but a master could appear to be something he's not."
