Lama Mingyar Dondup T. Lobsang Rampa’s teacher • The simplest things are the most difficult to explain. • Twins are often quite telepathic to each other, as they are in harmony with each other. • To die is easy, to live – that is the brave act! • We are here to learn and we can only learn through living our allotted span. • Fear spurs us on when otherwise we should be slothful. • We do not normally remember our past lives as to do so would be to increase our load upon this world.

• The Hidden Knowledge gives absolute power. • Hell is here, on this world. Our real life is on the other World. • The whole life of this world is but the twinkling of an eye to that of the Other World. • Christ formulated a good religion, but the Christianity practiced today is not the religion that Christ produced. • Prayer is very effective if we pray to our own Overself, to the real part of us in another world.

• People are not content to believe what they want to believe, but they are willing to kill others to make them believe the same. • You cannot go to all the places in the world and study under the greatest Masters of the world, but the printed word—books—can bring their teachings to you. You do not have to believe everything you read, nor do the great masters of writing ever tell you that you should, you should use your own judgement and use their words of wisdom as a pointer to what should be your words of wisdom.

• Esoteric powers, metaphysical powers, and extrasensory perceptions are to be used only for good, only in the service of others, only to increase the sum total of knowledge contained in the world. Misuse of occult power or the domination of another person by occult means brings a truly terrible punishment. • Fear, and fear alone, is the enemy, and if we throw out fear once and for all then there is nothing more that need be feared. • The creatures of the lower astral feed on fear, they are nourished by those of troubled conscience.

• Fear corrodes the soul. Vain and useless imaginings put one on the wrong path so that with the passage of years the imaginings become reality, and the realities fade from sight and do not come to light again for several incarnations. • We are entitled to help those who are worthy of help. We are not entitled to help those who do not want our help, and are not yet ready for help. We do not use occult power or ability for self-gain, nor for hire or reward. The whole purpose of occult power is: to speed one's development upwards, to speed one's evolution and to help the world as a whole, not just the world of humans, but the world of nature, of animals—everything.

• Illness is merely a dissonance in the body vibrations. An organ has its rate of molecular vibration disturbed and so it is considered to be a sick organ. Quite definitely illness can be cured by intervention through the aura. • The greatest force in the world is imagination. The second greatest force is sex. • It is clear that those who use sex normally—as it is meant to be used—increase their own spiritual force. Sex is not a matter to be abused, but on the other hand nor is it a matter to be repudiated. • The sexual act should only be indulged in by those who are in love, by those who are bound together by, spiritual affinity.

• Life first appeared in China and in the areas around Tibet, and spread to India before going Westwards. • The majority of wars are caused by over-population. It is a fact that there will be wars—there will always be wars—so long as there are vast and increasing populations. • Humans are just one form of life, and not the highest form of life at that. • If one is going to have good stock, then there must be love or a form of affection in the mating process. If humans were artificially inseminated, then it could be that—being born without love—they would be subhumans!

• For the better type of human or beast, it is necessary that the parents shall be fond of each other, that they shall both be raised in spiritual as well as physical vibration. • Artificial insemination is one of the major crimes upon this earth. • You cannot have a cultured man unless that man has been disciplined. • We come to earth to learn things, and no matter how hard nor how bitter the lessons which we learn on this earth, they are lessons for which we have enrolled before we came here. • There must be love in intercourse, there must be love between the parents if the best type of child is to be born, otherwise it is much the same as just a factorymade article!

• If the average husband wife were ideally happy together then they would not learn, for there would be nothing to learn. • They come to this earth to be together and to get on together—that is part of the lesson—they have to learn to give and to take. • The child of unhappy, loveless parents is unhappy and loveless in its turn. • Too often horoscopes are merely used to save a person the effort of adopting a course of action upon his own responsibility. I am very much against the use of astrology or horoscopes unless there is a definite, specific reason for it. • Green is the most restful colour for the eyes. It gives ease to tired eyes. • One cannot obtain mercy without first showing mercy.

Kenji Tekeuchi The Japanese monk who became insane because of unguided and excessive reading. He read so much and understood so little, hence remained in conflict and strained his brain. • Certainly one may read, but choose with care what you read and make sure that you quite understand that which you are reading.

• There is no danger in the printed word, but there is danger in the thoughts which those words may cause. • One should not eat everything, mixing the compatible with the incompatible; nor should one read things which contradict or oppose others, nor should one read things which promise occult powers. • The plainer and, within reason, the more monotonous the food one consumes the better it is for the development of the psychic parts of the body. • The Master always comes when the Student is ready, and when you have a Master—do everything he says, for only then are you ready.

Lama Chinrobnobo The one who performed the Third eye operation on Rampa • A man who knows only half a subject is only half trained and half useful. • Proof is merely a palliative to the idle mind. Those who want proof are not capable of accepting the truth of a proof no matter how well proven.
