On your journey, don't miss this writer...November 23, 2008 Having heard this book referenced at a conference last spring, immediately following his presentation I asked about this book. If you are on the "journey," this is a must read set of books. As a psychotherapist, moving clients along their "spiritual journey," keeps me reading and seeking. These volumes help fill in the gaps of what we have been taught and the depths of the writer's personal experiences on their expedition will keep you asking, "Did this really happen and is it happening today?" It is a step "out there," but you are not alone. Holly K. Klein LSCSW/LCSW
Christian Science on Steroids?July 31, 2008 The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East was just given to me by a Buddhist friend. I had never heard of Beard T. Spalding. What struck me the most is the similarity of these teachings - even in the phrases and words used - to Christian Science. It almost strikes me as plagiarism. Or is that a huge coincident?
Nonetheless, these books are fascinating and great food for thought and inspiration. Christian Science on steroids. It also reminded me of The Autobiography of a Yogi - a book I plan to re-read, after I re-read Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy.
Wake up!April 30, 2008 2 out of 10 found this review helpful
Okay folks, it's time to wake up. First, it's been written on good authority that Spalding wrote the first three volumes of this "fantasy" before he ever left the United States, later admitting having visited these "masters" while in his astro-body. And then there is the overall racist tone to his writing. I am amazed no one has yet to mention this in a review (at least none that I've read). Spirituality based on racism is not true spirituality. If I could give it less than a single star, I would. Wake up America!

These books lay the foundation for taking up the Great Work yourself. The accounts of the journeys within contain the guidelines to a priceless knowledge of self. The wisdom and awakening that can be felt is truly unlimited. May be the only books you will ever need...
great guidanceMarch 21, 2008 These volumes offer great guidance and teachings for these difficult times. We all have divinity within us and do not need permission of a church or organized religion to create our best life. These books are highly recommended to anyone starting their quest or already on the path to higher consciousness.
