Title: enjoyable read..but not much enlightenment here
Product review: After reading this and as I recall, 2 or 3 other books by Rampa in the mid 70's I was left with an indelible impression of a whining would-be guru, blaming people for not believing him. Even at the time in my callow youth, I couldn't help but think that such behavior was profoundly inconsistent with even a minimal evolution of consciousness, and this guy was supposed to be a master! In my opinion, truly enlightened people don't blame, and they certainly don't whine: Rampa totally blew his credibility (with me at least) when he did that. The story's entertaining though, and I liked it. It is even has mild historical and perhaps even spiritual interest but overall, the work is just light entertainment. As such, it certainly is not significant enough to even merit a debate as to whether or not the author, and the story, were fake or real.
