Life And Teachings Of The Masters Of The Far East: Vol 2 (Life & Teaching of the Masters of the Far East) by Baird Spalding (25-Nov-1999) Paperback

Life and Teaching Of The Masters Of The Far East #2

by Baird T. Spalding

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.Volume 1: Introduction of the Master Emil. Visit to the "Temple of Silence". Astral Projection. Walking on Water. Visit to the Healing Temple. Emil Talks about America.

As much as I liked the first part I was weary that maybe this second and third part would just be repetitious. I was really pleased to find it just kept building on itself and, although a bit too outlandish for me at times, I was still drawing greater and greater insights. Really amazing series, but again, the long speeches can sometimes be a chore despite being interesting.

[Dan Keating]

I enjoyed all six books of this series. The are mind expanded and I have refereed back to them on many occasions. They are a permanent members of my library and I recommend them to anyone looking for who and what they are.

Another great story

I have learned a lot about ancient civilizations by reading this book. The story is easy to follow and understand. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the mystical.

[Renee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sometimes I can’t tell whether it’s the author or me, the reader, who cools down with the second book in a series. Although enlightening, this volume offers a little less in terms of story line and purpose of the protagonist other than witness. Still worth the read and has a valuable message but it’s a story of fiction all the same and this one lacks the structure needed to carry a readers interest through.

[Julie Crowe · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found it to be almost a repeat of book 1 as far as format and style. I gave Book 1 4 stars. The only reason I gave this three is I had set personal expectations for maybe some different format or type of content. Although it is every bit as interesting as the first, I no longer found it to exactly be a page-turner.

[Chef Pepito · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was quite wonderful to read. Though unfamiliar to the characters, and not attached in the least to the story— the messages I have found within this novel are sublime. This presentation of Faith isnt pulled by the strings of a dogma, or of conforming to any other being than God, and our Oneness with Him. This book emphasizes the beauty behind fulling recognizing the essence of God within ourselves, and how once that is realized, we can live in our true purpose. It makes the reader contemplate how truly our biggest adversity is not some idea such as Sin, but is really Ourselves. We alone have the power to forgive ourselves, “It is not God who forgives Sin, for God has nothing to do with Sin, Sickness and Inharmony of man. Man brought these into being and man is the only one who can Erase of Forgive them.”
Overall, I left this book feeling a new empathy and compassion for my fellow Humans that often has slipped away from me due to my dwindling Faith hitherto.

The journey continues as the party meets Jesus, who discusses the nature of hell (your thoughts). They visit a special Temple and witness healing. The many principles of healing are discussed in detail.

Great Story

Been enjoying this series a lot. It’s very enlightening and uplifting. Now on to the next volume! So much to read…

[Mary Ann Lerch · Rating 5 out of 5]

outstanding. I’m so glad I read it.

It’s a great book by great masters who each heard the Truth of being from the great masters. Spaulding is great because he wrote about it.

[Poornima · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second book of an incredible series. I highly recommend it.

[Night City Moves · Rating 4 out of 5]

What I really like about this book is that most of the content is just paragraphs and paragraphs of life-giving words, and words of faith, which I really enjoy reading. I love how it flows and I feel like it seeps straight into my soul. I also like re-reading certain passages I've highlighted when I need a pick-me-up.

My favorite discussion in the book is about people living for thousands of years.

Personally, I really don't care much about the storyline and where they are or who they met because most of it I couldn't even form a solid image of it in my mind. I had no idea who and where the Chief came from, but I just went with it and finished because I plan to read the next book of the series and needed closure.

I have to admit, the last 15-20 pages was kind of hard to get through but I did it!

[David · Rating 3 out of 5]

A competent 2nd volume to the 6 volume set Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East. The Magical Autobiography continues.

This is a good example of early-mid 20th century spiritual writing and a prime example of an excellent spiritual grifter at work...Mr. Spalding had not been to India and was too young to have gone at the time if he had wanted to...he had doctored both his date of birth and where he was at the times.

There are some fascinating archaeological theories here too, but their dates are wildly inaccurate.

Having said that, this was an enjoyable read...which all readers should take with a grain of salt.

Beware: Attitudes are those of the early and mid 20th century and a benign racism crops up again and again.
