Summary: A Metaphysical Masterpiece
Review: A Wanderer's Handbook, by Carla Rueckert, is simply one of the best metaphysical books ever written. Using carefully sequenced quotations from the non-physical entities she channels, Carla combines the personal, human experience of being on her path with the brilliant, beautifully worded, and exquisitely wise words of her spiritual contacts. Every important facet of the spiritual quest, experienced within the amnesia-cloaked physical lifetime--including the frustrations, failures, and heartaches--is fully developed in this terrific book. This book is simple enough to be studied by beginners, while at the same time being one of the most advanced books even put into print on the spiritual quest.

Summary: A wanderers review
Review: Finally, a manual for spiritual seekers who don't want religious doctrine or New Age guru ramblings. The Wanderer's Handbook is a collective effort of not only the author's experience, but also the experiences and wisdom of many spiritual seekers. Also included are many channelled messages of very highly advanced service-to-others sources, including Ra (for those who are familiar with the Ra Material).

What's nice about the material is you can skip to chapters or topics that are of the most interest to you. Just about any spiritual challenge you can think of is handled in a thorough, non-judgemental way. There is no preaching that you should be this or that particular way. We all make mistakes and have challenges that may not have clear cut answers. This book acknowledges this aspect in us all, and gives suggested ways and ideas in working through a spiritual path.

Whether you are just starting a spiritual path or have been on the journey a long time, or just feel like a spiritual outsider, this book is for you. From metaphysical work -to relationship and society issues -in the various positive and negative forms are covered with equal candor. Nothing is sugar coated, including self doubt, as well as the ills of society, and our own individual role in the world. Ultimately, the benefits and simple joys of being a wanderer are expressed in a common sense way that virtually anyone can relate to.

In short, this is a truly excellent, as well as, enlightening book that I can pick up and read anytime...and find something of value every time.

Summary: Wonderful sequel to the Ra material
Review: I loved this book....The author is Carla, the woman who was the channel for the entity known as RA of the series "The Ra Material" published in the mid-eighties.

RA used the term "wanderers" to describe beings of a higher dimension/density that have chosen to incarnate as human beings and to join the last reaincarnational cycle ( 25,000 or more years) in service to humanity in order to help with the ascension/harvest process.

Ra stated that often wanderers had problems that were specific to them. Carla has dedicated much of her life to explore the wanderer phenomenon as well as being of service to them. In this book are years of her observations, extract from channelings from the Ra material, from the Qu'o group, extracts of letters and experiences of other wanderers on a variety of topics: spiritual growth, cosmology, health and even sex! Carla shares of many personal aspects of her life and of the lives of the other two memebrs of L/L research Don and Jim, with a candour and honesty that makes this book a real treat.

To see that someone as evolved as Carla, privilidged to have been the channel for some of the most profound channelled matearial ever, and for her to let us know that she too has struggled with her humaness is a precious gift for us all. I am truly grateful for this book. If you have enjoyed the Ra material you will love this book.

Summary: An invaluable reference
Review: Many thanks to Mr. Ferguson for his succinct comments above. I would agree whole-heartedly with his review--particularly in regard to non-judgment. I have found no "thou shalt" statements in this book; only an above-board sharing of channeled service-to-others material, experiences of other spiritual seekers and some biblical references, with commentary by an articulate and obviously loving author.

"A Wanderer's Handbook" is arranged intelligently, allowing the reader to approach it in a variety of ways. One does not need to read from front to back, but may turn directly to pertinent chapters or simply i-ching. Also worthy of note is a glossary provided in the back for those terms a new seeker might find puzzling.

The path of spiritual seeking often feels like a lonely one, strewn with challenges and frustrations. The pure quality of non-judgment here, paired with the heartfelt honesty of the author and her contributors, creates a deep warmth in the book... an assurance of not being alone on this journey. I've found it to be an invaluable reference, both in day-to-day application and in times of emotional/spiritual pain.

A fabulous book that has never found its way to my shelf... it resides always on my coffee table, within easy reach.
