LESSON TWENTY-EIGHT . 187LESSON TWENTY-NINE . 193LESSON THIRTY . 198“KINDNESS TO PUBLISHERS” DEPARTMENT . 203AUTHOR'S NOTEI am Tuesday Lobsang Rampa. That is my only name, it is now mylegal name, and I answer to no other. Many letters come to me with aweird conglomeration of names attached; they go straight in the wastepaper basket, for, as I say, my only name is Tuesday Lobsang Rampa.All my books are true, all my claims are absolutely true. Years ago thenewspapers of England and Germany started a campaign against me ata time when I was not able to defend myself because I was almost dyingfrom coronary thrombosis. I was persecuted without mercy, insanely.Actually a few people were jealous of me, and so they collected“evidence,” but it is significant that “the collector of evidence” at notime tried to see ME! It is unusual not to give “an accused person” achance to state his own story. A person is innocent until proved guilty;I was NEVER “proved guilty,” and never permitted to prove myselfGENUINE!The newspapers of England and Germany would not give me anyspace in their columns, so I have been in the unfortunate position ofknowing that I was innocent and truthful, but unable to tell anyone myside of the story. One great television chain of stations offered me aninterview, but they INSISTED that I say what they thought I should say,in other words, a lot of lies. I wanted to tell the truth, so they would notlet me appear.Let me again state that everything that I have written is true. All myclaims are true. My specific reason for insisting that all this is true is thatin the near future other people like me will appear, and I do not desirethat they should have the suffering that I have had through spite andvicious hatred.A large number of people have seen my absolutely authentic paperswhich prove that I have been a high Lama of the Potala in Lhasa, Tibet,3

and that I am a qualified Doctor of Medicine trained in China. Althoughpeople have seen those papers they “forgot” when the press cameprying around.Will you, then, read my books bearing in mind my positive assurancethat the whole thing IS TRUE? I am what I claim to be. What am I! Readmy books and you will see!T. Lobsang RampaFOREWORDThis is a very special Course of Instruction for those who are sincerelyinterested in knowing the things which have to be known.At first it was intended that this should be in the form of aCorrespondence Course, but then it was realized that with all theorganization necessary each student would have to pay a fee of aboutthirty five pounds for the Course! So, with the cooperation of myPublishers, it was decided to produce it in book form.You will appreciate that normally in a Correspondence Course therewould be certain questions which a student would want to ask, but Icannot undertake to answer questions arising from this book because —A poor wretched Author does not make much out of books, you know,he makes very little indeed, and often an Author will receive lettersfrom all parts of the world, and the writers “forget” to include returnpostage. The Author is then faced with the choice of paying himself orignoring the letter.In my case, very foolishly, I have borne the cost of the printed paper,having the stuff typed, paying the postage, etc. etc., but it makes allthis too expensive, and so I am not at all prepared to answer anyquestions or letters whatever unless people bear that point in mind.You may be interested as a Reader to hear this; I have had letterstelling me that my books are too expensive and would I send free copies.I had one letter from a person who said that my books were tooexpensive, and he asked me to send him an autographed copy of eachof my books, and as an afterthought he added two other books by twoother Authors and he asked me to give him those also. Yes, I did reply4

to his letter!I tell you emphatically that if you read this book you will derive muchbenefit from it; if you study this book you will derive much more benefitfrom it. To help you, you will find included the Instructions which wouldhave gone out with the Correspondence Course.Following this book there will be another book containingmonographs on various subjects of occult and everyday interest, andalso containing a very special form of Dictionary, an explanatoryDictionary, and having tried to get such a book from various countriesthroughout the world I decided to write one myself. I regard this secondbook as essential to the complete and most beneficial understanding ofthis, the first of the two.T. Lobsang Rampa.INSTRUCTIONSWe — you and us — agree going to have to work together so that yourpsychic development may proceed apace. Some of these Lessons willbe longer and possibly more difficult than others, but these Lessons arenot padded; they contain, so far as we are able, real “meat” withoutfancy trimmings.Select a definite night each week on which to study this Lesson-work.Get into the habit of studying at a certain time, at a certain place, at acertain day. There is more to it than just reading words because youhave to absorb ideas which may be very strange to you, and the mentaldiscipline of regular habits will assist you enormously.Have some place — some room set aside — where you can becomfortable. You will learn more easily if you are comfortable. Lie downif you prefer, but in any case adopt an attitude where there is no strainupon muscles, where you can relax so that the whole of your attentionmay be given to the printed words and the thoughts behind them. If youare tensed up much of your awareness is devoted to sensing the feelingof tenseness! You want to make sure that for an hour, or two hours, orhowever long it takes you to read the Lesson-work, no one will intrudeupon you and break your trend of thoughts. In your room — your study5

— shut the door. Lock it, for preference, and draw close the blinds sothat the fluctuations of daylight do not distract your attention. Have justone light on in the room, and that should be a reading lamp placedslightly behind you. This will provide adequate illumination whileleaving the rest of the room in suitable shade.Lie down or adopt any position which is quite comfortable and restful.Relax for a few moments, let yourself breathe deeply, that is, takeperhaps three really deep breaths one after the other. Hold the breathfor three or four seconds, then let it out over a period of three or fourseconds. Rest quiet for a few more seconds, and then pick up theLesson-work and read it. First read it easily — just work through it as ifyou were reading a newspaper. When you have done that, pause for afew moments to let what you have so lightly read sink into yoursubconscious. Then start all over again. Go through the Lesson-workmeticulously, paragraph by paragraph. If anything puzzles you make anote of it, write it down on a conveniently placed note book. Do not tryto memorize anything, there is no point in being a slave to the printedword, the whole purpose of Lesson-work such as this is to sink into yoursub-conscious. A conscious attempt to memorize often blinds one to thefull meaning of the words. You are not entering into an examinationwhere parrot-like repetition of certain phrases is all that is required. Youare, instead, storing up knowledge which can set you free from thebonds of the flesh and enable you to see what manner of thing thishuman body is, and determine the purpose of Life on Earth.When you have gone through the Lesson-work again, consult yournotes and ponder over the points which puzzle you, the points whichare not clear to you. It is too easy to just write in to us and have aquestion answered; that will not cause it to sink into your sub-conscious.It is kinder and better for you that you should THINK of the answeryourself.You must do your part. Anything that is worth having is worthworking for. Things which are given away, free, are usually so givenbecause they are not worth charging for! You must open your mind;you must be willing to absorb new knowledge. You must “imagine” thatknowledge is flowing into you. Remember, “As a man thinketh, so ishe.”6

LESSON ONEBefore we attempt to understand the nature of the Overself or dealwith any “occult” matter we must be sure that first we comprehend thenature of Man. In this Course we shall use the term “Man” to indicateman and woman. Let us at the outset state definitely that woman is atleast the equal of man in all matters relating to the occult andextra-sensory perceptions. Woman, in fact, often has a brighter auraand a greater capacity for appreciation of the various facets ofmetaphysics.WHAT IS LIFE?Actually, everything that exists is “life.” Even a creature which wenormally term “dead” is alive. The normal form of its life may haveceased — as it would have done for us to term it dead — but with thecessation of that “life” a fresh form of life took over. The process ofdissolution creates life of its own!Everything that is vibrates. Everything consists of molecules inconstant motion. We will use “molecules” instead of atoms, neutrons,protons, etc., because this is a Course on Metaphysics, not a Course ofChemistry or Physics. We are trying to “paint a general picture” ratherthan go into microscopic detail on irrelevant matters.Perhaps we should say a few words about molecules and atoms first inorder to appease the purists who otherwise would write in and give usknowledge which we already possess! Molecules are small, VERY small,but they can be seen by the use of the electron microscope and by thosewho are trained in metaphysical arts. According to the dictionary, amolecule is the smallest portion of a substance capable of independentexistence while retaining the properties of that substance. Smallthough molecules are, they are composed of even smaller particlesknown as “atoms.”An atom is like a miniature solar system. The nucleus of the atomrepresents the Sun in our own solar system. Around this “sun” rotate7

electrons in much the same way as our solar-system planets revolvearound our Sun. As in the Solar-system, the atom unit is mostly emptyspace! Here, in Figure One, is how the carbon atom — the “brick” of ourown Universe — appears when greatly magnified. Figure Two shows ourSolar-system. Every substance has a different number of electronsaround its nucleus “sun.” Uranium, for example, has
