Beyound the Himalayas

Beyond the Himalayas

REWORD

To you, the reader of this book, I want to say, this book is not written merely as

a history of

my travels in Tibet, neither is it meant to be a display of words to reveal

the Truth, for the Truth

cannot be revealed in words. Neither should it be read from

an intellectual point of view so as to

give pleasure to the mind; nor is it meant to

give you a new religion or a new authority or belief.

It is meant to open up, to

awaken the inner Being that is closed up, asleep, to become

aware of the powers

and possibilities of the Real Self, so that you are no longer the little

personality with

a limited life, but a centre of Universal action and in direct contact with

Cosmic

Forces. Then you will no longer be the unwilling plaything of fate but a

conscious

Master of Nature, liberated from the imprisoned smallness and sufferings of the

gross human

body.

It will take you beyond every mental idealistic culture of ideas

and ideals belonging to

the mind, which are only half-truths.

It shows you how to

bring the supramental power of the Divine Conciousness into the

ignorant mind,

transforming the mind and body, thereby creating a Divine Life in matter.

To the critic I would say, do not criticise anything you know nothing about. If

your

beliefs prevent you from accepting what I say, you will know why by reading

this book with

an open mind.

To the dogmatist, this book can only help you when you understand what

dogma is and

how you have acquired it.

To the reviewer, do no review this book if

you do not understand youself - otherwise it

will expose your lack of wisdom.

To the

earnest seeker, I do not want you to accept what I say or it may become another

belief.

A belief only hinders the revealing of the Truth. Believing or disbelieving,

accepting or

rejecting, will not give you understanding. Cleanse your mind first by

discerning impersonally

all you have read or heard, and you will find a silence that

is not of time in which the Truth will

be revealed to you.

To the atheist, you think you are a disbeliever but you have just another

belief which

prevents you from understanding. Search your mind and see what

formulations you have

created there; then you will realise how ignorant you are of

the Real Truth.

To those who are caught up in the various philosophies, religious organisations,

etc., I

would say, examine what these are first before you read this book or you will

be merely

reading you own conditioning into it. Free your mind from all fear,

superstition and belief, and

then there will be be an immediate transformation, for

the Truth is Eternal and Ever-present in

the Now.

Immediately you get rid of your

mental formulations, your imitations, by

understanding what they are and how they

have come about, the Truth will be revealed

instantly. Truth is not a matter of time

or becoming.

Becoming is always to-morrow---this is going away from Reality-Truth.

Being now, is

Truth. If Truth is not Now, it will never be to-morrow. Living in the Now,

moment to

moment, this is Truth.

There cannot be any memory, or right or wrong, past or future, when you live in the

Now; there can only be Love and Affection which is Truth.

Being Now, is Real;

Being Now, is loving and truly living: Being Now, is Eternal Life

in which there is no

death. All else is made up in your mind.

Your reactions will tell you how your mind is

made up, because Truth is not made up,

and has no reaction. It is the mind that

reacts according to its conditioning; therefore watch your

reactions and you will see

how you are caught up.

Everyone reacts differently according to his or her mental

make-up.

If you believe or if you disbelieve, if you reject or accept, if you feel that it

is disturbing

your pet ideas, your religious beliefs, if you are in any way mentally disturbed, it

shows that

you are not free. Your reactions may be automatic, which shows you

are bound, hand and foot.

Note your reactions and you will understand the self with its bundle of theories, its

formulations, its likes and dislikes, beliefs, ideas, its hates, its jealousies, its

antagonisms, its

wants. Then you will know how far you are from the Truth.

Geshi Rimpoche, who is mentioned in this book, has passed from the physical and I

have since spoken to him, proving that there is no separation except in the mind of

man.

My friend is still in the flesh in Tibet, and though he has travelled in the astral many

times since helping me in my work, his name is purposely not mentioned, at his own

request,

so that he may not be troubled by curiosity-seekers in and out of Asia.

THE AUTHOR

This book covers the authors travels and experiences in Tibet, over a

seven month

period, between 1936-7. He writes of his instruction in the

spiritual, mystical and

healing arts under the tutelage of his teacher

Geshi Rimpoche and various other

Tibetan Masters.

"This present book was written mainly for enlightenment-not that you will

find truth

in any book. It is to be found only within yourself and by

yourself; no one else can

give It to you".
