Originally published as 3 separate volumes, DeVorss Publications is proud to release these historic books in one edition titled:Β THE JOURNEY: Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East Volumes 1-3 (A Single Edition)Β with a NEW INTRODUCTION by MITCH HOROWITZ, author of OCCULT AMERICA. It is within these 3 volumes that Spalding details an expedition that lasted 3 years and covered the mountainous landscape of Nepal and India near the close of the 19th century.
BAIRD SPALDING, Born in England in 1872, he lived in India during his early years. At age seventeen he finished at the University and went to California where he stayed two years. He then traveled to Heidelberg, Germany and studied for eight years and then returned to California for post-graduate work in Archaeology at Berkeley and Stanford. After years of working with publisher Douglas DeVorss to write and promote the Life & Teaching series, Spalding died in 1953 in Arizona. In an odd turn of events, within months of his passing, Doug DeVorss also died. To this day, countless letters have arrived through the years, from all over the world, bearing testimony of the tremendous help received from the message in these books.
