Twilight is Dr. Rampa's 15th book. He devotes the greater part of it to answering some of the many questions he has received from his audiences on controversial subjects such as UFOs, astral travel, the power of prayer, Buddhism, marriage and divorce, the human aura, witchcraft and possession, the laws of karma, fasting, and hypnotism. Twilight will fascinate and enlighten new listeners, introducing them to the spiritual teachings that have helped millions cope with life today. Like his previous works, it will be a source of comfort and inspiration to Rampa's countless followers in every corner of the globe.

Starts normally, then takes an irreverent turn . .

The book starts so normally, but about a quarter of the way into the narrative, T. Lobsang Rampa "lets his hair down" (figuratively, of course) and some sections just kept me laughing. I mean, laugh-out-loud with I-can't-believe-he-just-said-that head shakes.

If you haven't read some of the other books, there's no point in getting this one. If you have read the others, consider this one to be a bit of fun and a chance to get to see the regular man side of T. Lobsang Rampa.

The narrator is different too. Instead of the soft, gentle and thoughtful narration of the other books, with a somewhat Asian accent, this narrator has a bright, brash, and slightly rascally British accent. With a good sense of comedic timing and delivery too.

There are some very interesting reader questions that T. Lobsang Rampa answers, and the answers can make one think hard about things and have to readjust and stretch our ideas and possible theories about life, history, metaphysical issues, and the human body.

The extra author chat in-between Questions, the comments about some of the annoying reader letters, the press, the tax people, business, women's libbers, Nixon and Watergate, did I mention women's libbers?, and women and their auras and sense of modesty when an old monk just wants to do some research.

I really enjoyed the light hearted moments spread throughout this book. And the poignant ones too. I suppose T. Lobsang Rampa was feeling a bit the way some old people get - they don't care, they are old and they say exactly what they think no matter what. So, some readers may have got more than they expected in answer to their mailed in questions.

This was a hoot!

Humor Like One of Simon Green's writes

This book will only be of interest to those who are acquainted with T. Lobsang Rampa's story and books (I believe there are about 14) which spin out all sorts of metaphysical information along with the daily trials and tribulations of living physically handicapped. I once owned all of his books in print and enjoy hearing them read. For this reason, I've given the book high marks - but the cherry on the pie so to speak, is that when listened to, Mr. Rampa's manner of writing sounds remarkably like the humorous turns of phrase in Simon Green's Drood books. However, the content in these books is presented as nonfiction.
