Summary: Here's to the Quest for a Higher Consciousness
Review: I have begun the journey into Mr. Spalding's adventures and have come out completely inspired! I had been looking for a book that discussed spirituality but also gave validity to many questions that people have today. This not only celebrates the validity of seeking a more fulfilled existence it truly made me understand that the life and experiences of Jesus are very tangible and possible for one to achieve. Mr. Spalding travels through Tibet among other places and lays out a landscape of magnificence in relating how some of these people here live the life of Jesus and don't really consider it a life "miracles" so much as simply and truly living. I have recommended the book since I read it and will keep on doing so. It has helped solidify my own spirituality and beliefs and reminds me there is a MUCH better existence awaiting us all if we just go towards it.

Summary: Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East
Review: These were the first books my grandmother gave me to read when I was eighteen, a quarter of a century ago. 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.

Summary: This series of books changed the course of my life.
Review: In the summer of 1965 I wandered into a little bookshop almost by accident - or so I thought at the time. I was only eleven years old but had already begun a quest for spirituality that my deep involvement in my local church had left unfulfilled. A kind and generous woman at the bookstore recommended that I should buy and read Baird T. Spaulding's "Life and Teaching" series. She even adjusted the price so that I could afford to buy the whole set all at once. This series of books changed the entire course of my life. The profound truths revealed in Spaulding's narrative account of his journeys through the Himalayas come fast and furious, one after another, until the reader is transferred to the remote mountain villages and wilderness in which holy men have sought enlightenment for thousands of years. In the many years that have passed since my first reading of this series, I have bought the set whenever I could find a rare copy. I have given away more than a dozen sets of this remarkable series of books, always after re-reading them. Invariably, the persons to whom I have given them have all remarked that their lives have been changed for the better by the experience of having read this wonderful set of books. This new paperback reprinting of Spaulding's classic series offers a remarkable opportunity for anyone seeking an insight into a truly spiritual existence. I believe that it is no coincidence that the reprinting comes at a time when unprecedented numbers of people are embarking on personal quests of spiritual growth.

Summary: To change the world, One only needs to look within!
Review: I read the lessons 25 years ago and will always pass the title on. Am curious as to others reaction concerning appearances and if anyone knows another that witnessed Jesus or met him in upstate New York? I believe there is an art to every science / a science to every art and nothing is written in stone. The man Jesus is with us; I thank Mr. Spalding for his time > wished he would make an appearance! Please read the set in spirit, open your heart!

Summary: IMPRESSIONS...
Review: I keep getting the feeling while reading these books that Mr. Spalding did not have these experiences, he created them in a study. It's not that they're not possible -- there are none that challenge my credulity -- it is simply my continuing impression that Mr. Spalding has taken everything exciting he has read about higher consciousness, combined it with what he believes, and offers up this "epic" as historical fact. I would have preferred that he present it as fiction, would have found that more powerful.

Summary: 5 Stars! The best set of books I have ever read...and read.
Review: Baird T. Spalding takes you on a wonderful, remarkable journey to meet the Masters and see the Truth they live in their everyday lives. As a Christian, I find these books to be in complete agreement with Jesus's teachings in the Holy Scriptures. Though the Masters are not Christian, they profess that Christ IS the Way. The Masters take off the "religious" hat, and put on true Spirituality. No New Age mumbo jumbo, just timeless Truth. We are Children of the Living God as the Saviour taught, and the Masters teach and exemplify this in their day-to-day living. Spalding's writing is superb. I felt as if I were there on location with him. After reading the Masters, I read the Bible in a whole new light. Christ's teachings come to life in these short, easy-read volumes. I would like to have some contacts and exchange ideas with other readers of these books and perhaps start a discussion group.

Summary: The life and teachings of the masters of the far east
Review: 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.
