My take on Lobsang Rampa is that he is a bit of a 'lovable rogue' some of whose ideas are plainly fabricated to appeal to a  gullible mass readership, while other ideas of his are really up there with the truths of eternity.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You mention the excitement of discovering that there may be a great deal more to existence than meets the egocentric "I". Couldn't agree more--if only people would understand there is so much more than they can even imagine, and that the mysteries of consciousness and existence outweigh the dull, deadly, boring bits of human culture by a factor of ten thousand fold or more. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I don't agree with your point about "peak experiences" being the result of years of reading, thinking etc. In my view the peak experiences can and do come out of nowhere, (just as the universe came out of nowhere, "ex nihilo nihil fit") and that there are many paths to walk towards enlightenment, including the emotional, the intellectual, and the spiritual.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Someone once said, (I think it was the biologist, JBS Haldane) that the universe is not only stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we &lt;B&gt;can&lt;/B&gt; imagine.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Pantheism offers an opportunity to reconcile all differences.
