Summary
Inside the cave, the young monk bowed respectfully. "I have come to you for instruction, Venerable One," he said to the old hermit in a low voice. In response, the hermit instructed the monk in true cosmic laws and in the universal order that governs nature and humankind. He told of deep, dark secrets that had been passed on to him by a mysterious "Higher Order" who have protected and guided humans since the dawn of creation.
The old hermit told of a trip inside a "great metallic body" (a UFO perhaps) and of the visit to a vast cavern, where he was surrounded by various beings: "Here were small men and women, seemingly perfect in every detail and of godlike men, radiating an aura of purity and calm. Others were also manlike, but with curious birdlike heads, complete with feathers and with hands that, although human in shape, had astounding claws. Also there were the giants, immense creatures who loomed like statues, overshadowing their more diminutive companions."
Though blind, the old hermit was handed an amazing "sight box", which enabled him to view scenes that had been hidden from humankind for centuries, to protect them from unnecessary self-abuse and harm.
This is a tale of secrets, given only to the initiated, such as the author, T. Lobsang Rampa, perhaps the person most responsible - due to his widespread popularity in the mid-20th century - for first bringing Buddhism into the lives of ordinary westerners.

A thoughtfully interesting and rewarding audiobook.
Many people who have read the stories concerning the life of Lobsang Tuesday, will have taken the phenomenal journey of the endearing Buddhist, from childhood to aged adulthood. I, among many thousands of readers, would have learned much from Lobsang's interesting and highly spiritual journey.
After listening to the final end to this marvellous and deeply thoughtful experience, I was saddened to discover little discrepancies that relate to the previous books.
Deciding to read this book as the experiences of a different monk, rather than the continuation of Lobsang Tuesday. I discovered that I enjoyed this book very much. I am sure there will be some amongst Lobsang Rampa's fans who will know exactly what I mean.
There was much to absorb and learn from in this story and its readability shared much of the quintessential feel of the previous book.
The narration by Clay Lomakayu gives this audiobook a level of authenticity that I have never experienced before in other audiobooks.
Please consider this superb story a listen, I don't think there are many other listeners who would disagree with me much.
Note:
Nowhere in this story does it say the character is, or is not Lobsang Tuesday, I have just finished listening to it for the fourth time.
Some of the astrophysics and astronomy concerning the flood and the planet Venus, has been presented by Walter Thornhill and other scientists of the Thunderbolts Project (on YouTube) during the last couple of years. This has been part of their Electric Universe Theory.
