This book is a guide to help you clear away the mystery of enlightenment that is very difficult to come by. Have you ever wondered what 'prana' is? Well Dr. Rampa will explain it in Supplement A which consists of valuable breathing exercises that will help clear your mind. He elucidates on what the Kundalini is, the subconscious mind, the devil, Zen, love and so much more; all in easy to understand plain English. 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'. Lobsang Rampa was one of the mystic pioneers, bringing the 'unknown' to the Western worlds. Reading his adventures will enrich any person.

GAYATRI : This is the name given to a most important

Mantra. Christians recite The Lord's Prayer, which, after all,

is just a Christian Mantra. The Hindu recites the Gayatri.

A Hindu will go through certain ceremonies, and then recite

this Mantra daily. Here are the actual words : 'Om, bhur,

bhuvah, swah. Tat savicur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi.

Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat. Om.'

The meaning of this translated into English is : 'We medi-

tate upon the ineffable effulgence of that resplendent Sun. May

that Sun direct our understanding for the good of all living.'

This is a Mantra which could be recited by Christians with

much profit!

GHOST : That eerie thing which swishes around in the night

with a few creaks and groans, and which causes the hair on

our heads to stand straight up, is harmless!

A ghost is just an etheric force which wanders about accord-

ing to the habits of its previous owner, until eventually that

etheric force, that etheric double, is dissipated. A strong healthy

person who is suddenly killed by perhaps extreme violence, has

a very strong etheric. If a person is being attacked, then he or

she focuses the etheric into a strong entity : If, then, the Silver

Cord is suddenly severed in that process which we call death,

the astral body goes off, the physical body decays, and the poor

etheric becomes a homeless, mindless, wandering waif.

Throughout the whole life of the body, the etheric has been

modeled on that body, it is a habit pattern of the body. So

if the body was in the habit of going to a certain place; or think-

ing of certain people, then the etheric will do likewise until

perhaps during centuries the power becomes dissipated, and

eventually vanishes.

The etheric body is the one which attends seances and gives

the so-called 'messages' from beyond the grave. It is quite a

tragedy really because people on Earth should realize that when

we leave this world we have other things to do, and cannot

always, and do not want always, to get in touch with people

left behind. The etheric, or ghost, is a thing of no moment and

should bc disregarded.

Supposing you were in some city and very busy with some

special task requiring concentration, would you like it if some

person kept phoning you from some other city, kept phoning

you and asking you all sorts of stupid questions! You would

soon get tired of the whole thing. In the same way, the real

entities, whom, if you like, you can call Souls, do not like being

disturbed, they have too much else to do.
