Summary: Second base on your Spiritual Home Run!
Review: Vol 1 set up and got you to first base. Vol 2 wisks you on to second base. Doubt is still nagging at the edges, but you want to believe this is the truth. Your heart is telling you this all happened just like it is written. This is believeable, more so, than anything the elders taught you. And your heart recognizes the truth; you can wait to "steal" third base (vol 3?)!

Summary: The Beginning of the End of the Seeker's Journey
Review: Yes. If you are a seeker you want this book; you will want the entire 6 volume set! Book one sets the stage and begins to wear down the "normal" beliefs that make it impossible to progress spiritually. After you have read this book, if you are looking for kindred souls to discuss and share, drop an email to me. I'm in the process of organizing such a circle of friends. Alternate email: siddhearth@aol.com. Peace be unto you in your journey. You will succeed

Summary: An enlightening journey, full of valid information!!!
Review: As a (Higher)-Self taught spiritual healer, I felt like I had met a comfortable friend in Spalding's series, someone who could identify with what I experience in my life. Mystical and miraculous experiences occurred for me and I had no one to share them with. With Baird's books, I knew that it had occurred before and of course, it could occur again. I meet people constantly in a spiritual search for truth, and recommend the entire series! I just wish I had been the original author...

Summary: A fantastic guide for the Inner Journey
Review: Baird T. Spalding has brought a wonderful series of books that focus on the inner journey and brings forth another perspective of true human potential. I have always felt we (Humans) were much more than hate,anger,and murder that is potraied by our media and our current world view and this series of books confrims that feeling.I love the rich dialoges that really gave me a feeling of presence. What is said is clear and has the feeling of truth. If i had to pick a few words to discribe these books, it would be TRUTH,LOVE and FREEDOM. I highly reccomend these books to anyone that is on their inner journey. For those who connect with the words of Jesus in these books you will really enjoy the Essene Gosple Of Peace book (1) by Edmond Bordeaux Szekely.If you are thinking of just buying book one of the Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East? Go for it! and buy the box set.I did and it was worth it!

Summary: These books are a hoax...sorry.
Review: Sorry to burst everyone's bubble here, but these books have been determined to be a hoax - by Spalding himself.
I'm as "New Age" as the next guy but we can't go on pretending things happen that didn't really happen. Same thing with the 100th monkey story. That too was stretched to fit the theory of superconsciousness.
I am a New Age teacher. I've listed the Spalding books as well as Casteneda's material in my bibliographies. But since I am looking for the truth - the pure naked truth - I've been forced to remove them from my list of recommended reading. I don't think that facts need to be altered in order for New Age thinking to flourish.
I hope you agree.

Summary: The lives and teachings of true alchemists
Review: Yes, it does seem that the practice of internal alchemy faired far better in the East than in the West. After all there are many more true masters living in India and China. One may add that the general world-view there (at least in China) is more supportive of the practices and life-style required for spiritual attainments. In Taoist Alchemy, there is even classification of immortals, according to the levels of attainment: - Human Immortals remain human, but though they eat, drink and dress like people, they can avoid the calamities of aging, sickness and death - Earth Immortals remain on the earth, but they are not affected by cold or heat, hunger or thirst. Though they cannot project their spirits, they can avoid the bother of food, clothing and shelter - Spiritual Immortals are capable of supernatural powers and transformations; coming and going at will; they can shed the physical shell to attain an ethereal independence. They can dissolve into energy or solidify into form. - Celestial Immortals go even further in their work. They go beyond our human world to another world that cannot be imagined by human intellect. Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East describes lives and provides teachings from what would in Taoist Alchemy be called Spiritual and Celestial Immortals. Supernatural powers emerge spontaneously at certain stages of spiritual development, as a result of one's merging with the "All", with the Infinite, with God, with Tao. Any person who has even meditated for any extended period of time would of necessity become aware of the spontaneous emergence of certain "powers". It is only natural that as one meditates upon the Infinite Life, as one holds in his awareness the Infinite Life, that one becomes filled with more Life. It is only natural that as one hold in his awareness that which is Infinite and Eternal, free of all limitations that the limitations would begin to fall off out of his own life. It is only natural that as ones consciousness is filled with spiritual thoughts, spiritual energy begins to saturate his mind, emotions and body, spiritualizing the body in the process, re-arranging one's neurology and enabling the individual to do easily what he wasn't able to do before. There is nothing unspiritual about using one's legs to walk, why would it be unspiritual using one's higher ability to teleport. When ordinary people work at jobs using their intellectual abilities, it is no more or less spiritual then doing physical labor. So why would manifesting supply directly of the universal substance be unspiritual? Energy follows thought. All that these masters are doing is using their thoughts in a constructive way. After all, the life on spiritual path becomes easier and lighter, as one progresses along. People in Life and Teachings do not use their powers to boost their egos, but when the use of these abilities is necessary. They use their powers responsibly. Ordinary people go to schools and universities to learn some skills and get degrees. That in itself doesn't make them either spiritual or non-spiritual. How they use their skills - to help people or to take advantage of them, their motivations for using them is what would make it spiritual or non-spiritual. We all have the same amount of time and energy available and we choose how we're going to use them, whether we'll just waste our lives, whether we'll develop skills to just get by or whether we'll develop skills and abilities that will enable us to live meaningful lives. Spirituality is not something we do in our spare moments - it is the cultivation of spiritual awareness in all that we think and say and do. And yes, bodies are necessary - that's why we're here and that's why we have them. Our bodies are our alchemical labs, the vessels in which the alchemical transmutation occurs. That is where we cultivate life, where we tend our spiritual embryo, until it is strong enough that the physical body is not necessary any more. As the spiritual embryo grows and matures, the spiritual powers naturally emerge - just like a kid or a man is able to do more than a baby. And there is nothing "unspiritual" about a man using the abilities that naturally emerged with his bigger and stronger body. It is not more spiritual to keep on crawling like a baby, when one can walk, so why should one live bound by limitations of those in "mortal consciousness" after he realizes that he is not a "mortal" and "limited" being, after he is realizes that he is still as God created him, in His image and likeness - free of all limitations.

Summary: Expand your boundaries! Something wonderful can happen!
Review: These books are my all-time favorites. Over the past 15 years I have purchased several sets of these books and tapes and shared these ideas with countless people. Some found them interesting, some inspiring, some didn't want to part with them, and some became obsessed with the ideas presented in these books as much as I have. What can I say, these books did change my life. I understand that for a lot of people the ideas presented in these books seem totally outrageous and that some people try to discredit them looking for information that will prove that the adventures presented in these books are all fabricated. To a lot of people it is very disconcerting when their ideas become challenged and they'll fight to prove that their limiting beliefs are the sound ones even if those beliefs are actually crippling their lives and taking the joy out of it. Whatever we choose to believe, we'll always look for ways to validate our beliefs and we'll always find what we are looking for (proof). Even though we may or may not be able to prove whether the stories in these books are factual, we call all apply the principles presented. The main idea of these books is that man is limited or unlimited according to the thoughts and beliefs he chooses. And even if your main goal in life is not to master the ability to walk on water, walk through fire, teleport, or spiritualize your body, you can still use the principles in this book to get as far as your imagination and faith will allow you. Then, if you ever get bored with the mundane life, if you ever begin to wonder if there's anything more to life, you can get ideas here that will keep you busy on developing yourself, growing, expanding and actualizing your potential as long as you so desire. And then, if you are really interested, you can find many other books that explore the same principles presented here to feed your mind, your imagination, and your passion for life. If you choose to apply the principles presented in this book, instead of just reading the books once for entertainment, you will soon begin to experience events in your life that will serve as a proof that these principles are valid and applicable in your life wherever you are right now and your belief will grow stronger and who knows, maybe one day you decide to imagine for yourself what was previously unthinkable. Maybe one day you give yourself a chance to surprise yourself allowing the power that is locked within you to come out and express itself in all its glory. Then you'll feel grateful that you found these books - even if they seemed far-out when you first picked them up.
