Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East (Condensed Edition of Vols. 1-3) [Abridged] [Audio Cassette]

Baird T. Spalding (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1990

Audio 3CD SET 169 min.

ELEVEN MEN embarked upon a journey in 1894 with one objective: to find the great spiritual teachers of the Far East and witness their uncommon abilities. Since these Masters were scattered over a wide territory that covered a large portion of India, Tibet, China, and Persia, they knew it could take years of searching many secluded villages and hidden mountain communes. Planning each step of the journey became a challenge knowing that countless miles of rugged terrain separated the remote and isolate locations that were imperative to the exploration. Even though they could plot their route on a map and see where they were headed, the destination deep within the souls of eleven scientifically trained men remained uncertain. Baird T. Spalding and the others were practical in nature and the thought of spiritual masters performing miracles seemed impossible. Despite these suspect thoughts, something compelled them to move onward. So they did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East, August 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East (Condensed Edition of Vols. 1-3) (Audio Cassette)

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.

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.
