"There is no question but these people have brought the Light through the tong ages and they prove by their daily life and works that this Light does exist just as it did thousands of years ago." -- B.T.S. Baird T. Spalding's descriptions of his Far East travels have played a very important role in introducing to the Western world the knowledge that there are many Masters who are assisting and guiding the destinies of mankind. His encounters with the Masters present a dramatic unfoldment of spiritual teachings and episodes unparalleled in all of Western literature.
