Three Lives

by T. Lobsang Rampa, Γ. Συρνιώτη (Translator)

Large Print Edtion, 15 pt font This book is NOT presented to you as fiction for a very special reason; it is NOT fiction! Of course, we can readily agree that some of the words in the book about life on this world are 'artistic license', but accept my statement that EVERYTHING about the life on 'The Other Side' is definitely true. Some people are born with great musical talent; some people are born with great artistic talent, they can paint and captivate the world. Other people may be highly gifted through their own hard work and assiduous devotion to study. I have little in the material side of this world -no car; -no television, no this and no that and for twenty-four hours a day I am confined to bed because, for one thing, I am paraplegic- no use in the legs. This has given me great opportunity for increasing talents or abilities which were granted to me at birth. I can do everything I write about in any of my books- except walk! I have the ability to do astral travel and because of my studies and, I suppose, because of a peculiar quirk in my make-up, I am able to astral travel to other planes of existence. The characters in this book are people who have lived and died on this world, and because of special provisions I have been able to follow their 'Flights into the Unknown'. Everything in this book about the After Life is utterly true, therefore I will not label the book as fiction. Lobsang Rampa

[Carolyn Kay Doswell · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was definitely a mind opening into life after death, but it did contain prejudices and religious dogma. It predominately follows the teachings of Eckankar in its ideas on levels of consciousness and planes of the spirituality life after death as it's main thrust is to help humans find religious freedom, wisdom and love.
However, at the very end of the book he throws it all away. Even though this book was published in the seventies, Rampa has no reason to put women down as he still blows his own self-righteous horn.
The ending 'The Old Author's Dream' confirms that he is yet a confirmed chauvinist in that his story features a Liberated Woman who is denied entrance into Christian Heaven because she doesn't wish to be judged by her married or unmarried relationship to men. Because of her refusal to fall on her knees to penis subservience, she is cast into the fires of Hell.
Pity Rampa ruined such a great book with his feeling of inferiority and low self-esteem, by succumbing to the Little Boy's Club.

Đối với mình các câu truyện về trải nghiệm sau khi chết trong cuốn rất tuyệt nhưng đến câu chuyện cuối cùng thì đối nghịch với tất cả câu chuyện ban đầu, mình nghĩ có lẽ là sự trêu chọc của tác gỉả với những người đã chống lại ông ấy. Cuốn sách 5 sao khi không có câu chuyện cuối, câu chuyện cuối dường như phá hỏng cả cuốn sách nên mình đánh giá 3 sao nhé. Cảm ơn tác giả vì cuốn sách gần như tuyệt vời.

It is interesting to read about Rampa's idea as to where different people go after this life. However, I wish the story was a bit better built and written. The way his own name was mentioned throughout the story also sounds a bit of advertising and thus devalue the whole thing, I think.

As cinco estrelas atribuo à sua linguagem simples, simpática e despretensiosa e à sua capacidade de comunicação.
Explica e, muito importante, dá exemplos.
Estando todos os ensinamentos por praticar, admiro todo o aporte moral, a luminosidade e o bem inerente à espiritualidade.
Tem humor, é bem intencionado e quer partilhar o seu conhecimento.
