Reading Dr. Rampa's books is the first step to understanding the sutras and treatises on enlightenment and well worth reading over and over again to finally 'see the light'.

Why should man be in love with his fetters, though of gold? Art thou drowned in security? Then I say thou art perfectly dead.
