I, too, recently came across this website. After reading all the posts, I went to bed and cried myself to sleep. Through the years, I have always found my way back to Spalding. I believed it. Why couldn’t he have presented it as fiction — because fiction presented as Truth can surely break a heart.

The books ring true, having had a series of mystical experiences while studying A Course in Miracles, I remember, that an Ascended Master will show up, if called upon, if we are not afraid, or their words will given to us.. I Channel Ascended Masters, in a male Voice,so all things are possible..There is so much truth in Masters of the Far EAST, that I believe its authentic.

I just came across this website and was reading the comments. Let me first say that what is most important is the message. Life and Teachings of The Masters of the Far East is divinely inspired. Many people spend a lot of time trying to prove if something is true. If you believe you need proof than the Universe will give you all the “solid” proof you need that says it is not true. What you focus on will expand. Whatever you doubt and need proof for, the Universe will conspire to make it even more false for you.

Life and Teachings is not a tall tale of Baird T. Spalding, no matter how much solid indisputable proof you gather. If you want to know what is really true, raise your Consciousness Higher and ask Father-Mother God to give you that proof, instead of proof you can only acknowledge with your five senses.

So many Teachers have come to humanity, yet so many waste time in the mirk and the mire.

Whether the events described in the book Life And Teaching actually took place doesn’t necessarely matter. It is all about how you react on what you read or see at the time of reading. For me reading the book triggered insights in me which I already know within. For somebody else it is perhaps some mumble-jumble. The book in itself does nothing. It is all about you, what you read or see, and how you react to this. It is not the book which created those insights. If that was true, everybody would react exacly the same when reading this book. However the book triggered that which I already know. Other perhaps have the exact same insights when walking in a forest or dreaming a dream. It’s all about you!

Does it really matter the event actually took place? Let us leave this aside. Nobody can deny Life and Teaching is a book full of spiritual truth and great understanding.

@ J.Zwaan

If you read the FAQ, you’ll find that Spalding was not in India in the 1890′s but actually mining in the Yukon. Indeed, he was only 22 years old in 1894. Spalding’s life story told in the books about being born in the 1850′s in England, studying at various universities, the 1894 expedition to India, and the Spalding Foundation and his family connections to India is entirely fictional. I’ve published numerous documents on the blog that show when and where Spalding was born, as an example, and that his family had no connection to India. It’s very clear that Spalding had a lifelong talent for ‘tall tales’, I’ve collected many dozens of examples in correspondence and personal meetings.

How can everyone be so sure that the story is fiction? What is the proof of it?

yes…fact or fiction…not to worry too much methinks…it is nice that we all found our way to this place . I picked up Vol3 of the “Life and Teaching…” recently in a 2nd hand bookstore and it has been an enjoyable read over Xmas/NY. I have certainly gained enough spiritual nourishment from the reading to justify my investment of $6…best to all.

Dear Ones,
I just found this site as I was researching the name, Gordon Weldon. As others have said, they were looking for some verification of the writings and this was a name that they could search. So interesting that we are being told the Baird’s writing may have been fiction and even plagiarized. The conclusion that what is written is inspired, even though its “factual basis” may be in question, resonates with me. I read extensiverly in New Thought/Ancient Wisdom material, including Ramtha, Ernest Holmes, U.S. Andersen(Three Magic Words) and many others. What I find is that all that I am reading at this time is consistent with what Life & Teaching says. Whether it is “true” or not is of less interest than how it feels. As many have said, you know the Truth when you read/see/hear it and feel it. To spend hours looking for the flaws and inconsistencies is to deny the Truth. As one of my teachers used to say, Truth is What Is. There is no denying it. We may go with the Flow, or try to swim up current. The river continues to run its course.

I enjoy this blog because most of the commentary is positive and there is no attempt to downplay what Spalding wrote. We are all inspired, informed by Spirit, and it is our choice to listen or not. The vehicle may have some dents and dings, but it can still carry us forward. And, if it becomes disabled, we can get out and walk. I think the lesson of Jesus is that we are to keep our attention on our Source and recognize our relationship to It.

Blessings to all,
st john
