One of the most influential set of books in my adolescence was (and continues to be, if I look at the big picture) is the 5 volume series by Baird T. Spalding, Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East. This wonderful story (does it matter if it is fiction or biography?) is a marvelous exposition of ideas that liberate our true nature, expressed in very accessible language for the Western mind, still vibrant in the essential inspirations of a century ago.

Customer Reviews

Wake up!
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!

Unlimited
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 guidance
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.
