The Gated Garden is the final book in Bô Yin Râ's 32-volume teaching cycle (the totality of which is called by the same name), and aims to fill in gaps in the spiritual guidance offered in previous books. The book covers a wide range of topics, including: the nature of our consciousness after death and what carries over from this life, how the Luminaries help beings on earth and in the life beyond, how the concept of space differs in the temporal and timeless realms, how the approach to awakening differs in the Eastern versus Western quest for inner illumination, and the difference between what is truly eternal and ideas about the eternal.Contents: Words of Guidance at the Gate.
