"The Third Eye" lit a candle for me as a child. I also read his other books (my dad had a library). Not long after though, my dad told me that Rampa's credibility is in question and to treat him as a hoax. I was bewildered & saddened by the whole negative attitude when it was his material that kept my spiritual curiosity alive. I revisited the matter as an adult and felt that a lot of criticisms were from those not sincere in investigating metaphysics. I'm glad times have changed that metaphysical topics can be discussed openly but I still feel there's a reluctance to discuss Lobrang Rampa's works--aside from fan sites--in the curious/unbiased manner of a true seeker. (I know Don Elkins acknowledged him in "Secrets of the UFO.")
