The Third Eye

This is a book well explained in the wikipedia article referenced on Tuesdays authors page in this site.

I saw one very negative review and I must say one should never balk at experiences, (outside of your personal norm) that one cannot understand, unless further investigation into a phenom is adequately approached / ventured into.

Until a real and thorough attempt to understand it is embarked upon, one can't make a valid or lucid argument.

I will say that what is, sometimes is difficult to explain, in life, sometimes...That "What Is", sometimes is just ..WHAT IT IS, and that the book (and others by the author), The Third Eye may or may not have been based upon actual human experience.

YET it may have been based upon a really Spirit show more filled persons experience and that cannot be taken away from a person. A self realized individual does not often live a normal life, having the same domain as most to enter into.

The Third Eye was by far one of the most interesting and engaging books of my lifetime thus far. I have too experienced otherworldly phenomenon and altered (spiritual?) states, and have personally engaged in experiences that are not often explored / touched upon in commonplace writings. Therefore I choose to believe that the book was not at all a hoax nor was the author trying to perpetuate a lie, in his writings. I believe that he was authentically absorbed by a higher being at times, something far greater than himself, who may have channeled messages through him, or may have been an aspect of his higher mind or higher self. That everything in life will not be subject to a skeptical persons norm. For some, the norm is far stranger and much more esoteric, and subjective.

The book is an incredible adventure. An otherworldly adventure, astonishing in depth and takes you into the heart of Tibet. Whether it is true or merely based upon someones truth is for the reader to decide, like any good fiction or even non-fiction tome, you are allowed to embark on a journey of discovery....welcome it or don't. Believing all, some or none of it is a free will choice, something for you to decide for yourself.

Skeptical notions have more than once ruined the oppurtunity for someone to initiate, gain understanding of self, and etc.

I beg you to take the leap, if you enjoy a good story I doubt that you will be disappointed in the flow of the experience. You will probably want to read the next in the series which, of course...will lead to another,and yet another, as happened for me.

Tibetan Buddhist silliness and superstition. Bogus author. See a Skeptic's Dictionary for details about the hoax.

T. Lobsang Rampa was preordained to be a Tibetan priest, a sign from the stars that could not be ignored. When he left his wealthy home to enter the monastery, his heart was filled with trepidation, with only a slight knowledge of the rigorous spiritual training and physical ordeal that awaited him . . . .
This is his story, a hauntingly beautiful and deeply inspiring journey of awakening within Chakpori Lamasery, the temple of Tibetan medicine. It is a moving tale of passage through the mystic arts of astral projection, crystal gazing, aura deciphering, meditation, and more, a spiritual guide of enlightenment and discovery through the opening of the all-powerful, the all-knowing . . . .

Durante toda mi vida, lo he leído en varias ocasiones. Una forma de ver la vida y la muerte de manera tan distinta a la que estamos acostumbrados que en una primera lectura uno se sorprende muchísimo de lo que lee. A medida de ir re-leyendo (entre una lectura y otra han habido años de por medio) uno se da cuenta de cómo cambia la forma de ver, pensar y asumir aquello que se nos explica.

Algo que puede parecernos misterioso en su cultura, su vida y su hacer, no es más que la diferencia existente entre cómo pensamos los occidentales y como se nos enfrenta a que otras culturas no piensan ni ven las mismas cosas de igual manera.
