T Lobsang Rampa

Anyone here old enough to remember this guy?
When I first became interested in the paranormal, I was given a book of his called The Third Eye.
It was a very interesting read, lots of OBE Astral projections, alien visitors etc.
Some people say he was a fraud some people say he isn't. I just enjoyed the books, especially when he described some of the stuff in Tibet (Did he really go there? Don't know) Even if it all was a hoax, he had a hell of an imagination.

I've seen some of his books online, and they are strange. The name sounds familiar for a different reason, though. Didn't a group of people in Florida start a cult type of thing and praise him? He didn't start the cult, but groups of people would follow his writings and stuff like that. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

He should release a DVD version of his adventures. It would sell 10x better !

heard his name before and about his writings, but I never had the opportunity to read any of his stuff. thanks for bringing his name back up in my immediate memory, I'll have to look into it some more.

I've read some of his stuff, and read lots of stuff about him, they say he's not even *whatever race* he claimed to be, that he didn't went to half the places he said he did, well, that he was a total fraud.

I still enjoyed some of his reading, be it fiction or real work.

Oh yeah...he has been called many things, I just enjoyed his writings, he combined a lot of different ideas IE aliens, worlds within worlds, alternative worlds etc. His writings I think were simply to give you that "spark" to explore the unknown
