Qestion for LOO scholars....

[Steppingfeet]

If you do, please allow me to work with you.  I've been wondering a lot, lately, why Ra makes so little mention of the sages of the East (Padmasambhava, Babaji, Yukteswar, ad infinitum.....)

The book, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, written by Sogyal Rinpoche, would be a good resource to employ, as it mentions a considerable number of prominent Tibetan Buddhists, as well as, of course, teachings which deserve our attention and study.

Edited to add:  Gary, I assume that you have read Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi.  At almost every Homecoming I prod people to re-read chapter 43 of that book, as so much of importance is laid clear there.  Did you ever get around to that?

Here's a book to put at the top of the "read pile":  Fourth Uncle in the Mountain, by Marjorie Pivar and Quang Van Nguyen.

"Allow" you? Eddie, you are a walking encyclopedia - a resource for anyone seeking information in the fields you've studied.

I don't have any particular project in mind though. I do have a distilled essay about the mystical heart of the Law of One, but it doesn't make comparative study of mystical traditions save for drawing inspiration and corroboration from a couple of my favorite sources.

Did I ever get around to reading Yogananda's book? You always have a big To Read list for everyone.

I read Autobiography in my early 20s. Loved it. Though it's not strictly a treatise on metaphysics but, as the title denotes, a biography, one which includes the tales of eccentric yogis and their various supernatural abilities. I appreciated the nuggets of spiritual insight throughout, along with his devotion to sharing his light and to his teacher, Sri Yukteswar. I remember being intrigued by whatever blue'ish realm that Yukteswar communicated to Yogananda from after his passing I believe. It's been some years though. What's in Ch 43?

Thanks for the recommendations.

And top among the topics and people I wish Don would have explored include the mystics and mystical philosophy. Though that was not Don's course. However, as byproduct it does have one unintended benefit: it helps the Law of One to be more independent, standalone, and free of the dogmatic trappings or historical distortions that often come packaged with earth-sourced wisdom traditions and their exponents therein. It is the human task, then, to perform comparative study where helpful.

In fact, rigorous comparative study of the Law of One is a massively untapped ocean of potential. Fortunately the Law of One is so inexhaustible that many generations will have the opportunity to study and unpack its treasures. We are still at the beginning.
