This is the best book of the series giving a unique look at the man the world calls Jesus of Nazareth. I enjoyed all six books of this series. They are mind expanding and I have refereed back to them on many occasions. They are permanent members of my library and I recommend them to anyone looking for who and what they are.

This is by far my favorite book in the series. The wisdom teachings from the masters are the richest, deepest, and most enthralling. I even found the usually stoic author waxing poetic in his prose as his heart and senses open more to the beauty of the teachings. Personally enlightening. Mentally engaging. Great read!!

By the time I finished this series I was definitely ready to be done, but I also found it affecting the way I approached things. It helps that I read these books in a very spiritual environment, but it also hugely helped that the books read like a fantasy adventure story.

Interesting
Liked this volume a lot. Very intriguing material to ponder. Like that the chapters are concise. Now, on to volume 4…

This volume was not as impressive as the first two perhaps because the reader becomes familiar with the long spiritual discourses and the extraordinary individuals that appear in Spaulding's journey. This includes the Lord Jesus Christ! But these books are worth reading for their imaginative description of awe-inspiring characters who live thousands of years, are profoundly wise as might be expected, but can interact with human beings and assist them in difficult moments.

October 8, 2020Alot of faith-based discourse. I don't really have words for something this important. You just have to read it to find out. Parts of it were not that interesting for me to read, but the parts that spoke to me made up for that.

Amazing book.

Check out my review of the first volume. That still applies here.
The third volume is worse than the first two, though, because crap gets crazy up in here. Suddenly the Dalai Lama and other prominent lamas are all engaged in teaching with the Masters, which means that they all apparently interact with Jesus on a regular basis and approve of talk of Christ consciousness, Christ-man, God the Father, etc. Ridiculous.
Once again I say these books would be far better if Spalding didn't try proving the historical truth of his imaginary expedition and had started by saying, "Imagine if..." rather than, "Check out what happened!" It didn't happen, that's pretty clear. So everything loses credibility with each turn of the page. I would be far more interested in reading Spalding's thought concerning our spiritual potential as a philosophical theology, something to strive for as a possibility, rather than something seen and heard by Spalding.
Volume 4 of the series, which turns away from the story of the expedition, is much more acceptable. But these first three volumes are progressively ridiculous and frivolous.

While reading the 6 Vol's...I was thrilled with the Heart/Mind
way that it was presented...It was very inspirational and I was spiritually moved....I knew there had to be so much more out there,
then what I had learned many yrs ago, and there is...It is all out there..
l Love this Vol...

I read this book with a group of like-minded friends. It generated good discussion as we went. We all thoroughly enjoyed this book study. We've now read the first 3 volumes together.

this book blew my mind and it began my search to find out how humans have limited themselves in this world.
