Life & Teachings of the Masters of the Far EastApril 24, 2006 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I too have read these books...many years ago, and own the five volume set. I believe the books are authentic and have a wonderful message, which is not forced on anyone nor is anyone asked to believe it. It is left up to the individual. I am curious about Richard J. Dangelo's review in which he says: "Sorry to burst everyone's bubble here, but these books have been determined to be a hoax - by Spalding himself."
I would like verification/proof of his statement and in particular "by Spalding himself".

"Life and Teaching" is an amazing spiritual work. Anyone at all interested in Eastern Theology should own this set.

These books will open your eyes to a life worth living beyond that which is taught in our western churches. If you are committed to expanding and growing within the realm of God, this set of books is a must read.
It is impossible to realize how much your life and spiritual awareness is restricted, until you have opened your mind to these books.
Don't read just one, get the set.

I first learned of this collection from my piano teacher of many years, who was a Baptist turned metaphysician, with strong attachment to the writings of Joel S. Goldsmith. Blanche would share tid-bits of insight from the set. This caused me to puchase a used set years ago and to read it only partially. Then this year I decided it was time to read through every volume. What a joy. I love the teaching aspect; it is so very clear and makes so much sense. Volume 4 is written in lesson format so it can be used with study groups. Volume 5 is a collection of talks by Mr. Spalding two years before his death in 1953. Volumes 1-3 set the stage for what follows. There's adventure and discovery galore. As a reader and thinker you are left to determine the validity of each book's content, which is what a master would do. No pressure to accept anything. But, if you are like me, you'll come away from the experience knowing a whole lot about mysticism and Truth than you originally anticipated.

This is a 5 volume collection not a 6. The information in this collection is extremely valuable in the spiritual sense. Explains in detail the abilities that we as humans have but tend to egnore, and lose due to the lack of use. I would recommend this to anyone looking to find the truth of life and how to achieve anything you desire.
