Greetings :-)-   (A Maori warrior) 

	I knew something was amiss. I could feel it in the bones, in fact, I had
a premonition. But never mind, here is the book that I missed out from my 
earlier posting:-

19) TIBETAN SAGE   by  Tuesday Lobsang Rampa

	Gosh, I have never counted the "old man's" books until I compiled this 
for the post. That makes the grand total number to 19, isn't it.   

	It seems there are some people out there old enough to have read
TLR. It is indeed gratifying that I have not been talking in vain, like
some rantings of a madman, engrossed in his own little world. So, for 
those who responded, thanks a bunch, it really kind'a make me feel nice
inside :-).

	People who read TLR are invariably affected by his books one way or 
another. I wish I could keep this thread alive for a little while longer, 
so if there is anyone who would like to share, on the net or in private,
what has affected them, how and why, perhaps the discussion would prove 
useful, if not entertaining. (My personal mailing address is still open, if
you have caught it in the "Children of the **" posting.)

	So, to start the, ehm, ball, rolling, here's my story:

	One day, when I was a teenager, a good friend of mine came to visit
me. He is a wild kind of guy, in his reading habits, I mean, because he
reads EVERYTHING, absolutely! He came to share with me some of the stuff he's
been reading, and there is this little mysterious thing which was intriguing
him at that time, called "telepathy". He was fascinated with the possibility
of communication by mental thought, and of course, he showed me the book
which has something to say about "telepathy". It was "The Third Eye", by
TLR.

	From there onwards, there was no turning back. For him it was just
a mere curiosity, but it meant something different for me. We used to nickname
him the "lobster guy" irreverently, couldn't quite make out if the old man's 
name "Tuesday" was real or fictional.

	Luckily for me, I wasn't schooled enough in material science to
treat the stuff as nonsensical heresy. I reacted by instinct. Deep within me,
I remain convinced that the old man was talking about Truth as he understood
it. Even after reading "You-Forever", and practising his instructions on
astral projection, I couldn't feel a thing at all, yet, my faith in him
remains strong. (Just because you can't prove a thing doen't mean that
it is not true)

	Some of the THINGS he did SAY, could really STR-E-----------T-CH
the credulity of our normally accepted worldview to its bursting point (ouch!)
even at our current level of learning and understanding (which is not much
really :-)). However, in the subject matter of which this newsgroup is 
concerned, I know that he had come out "clean".

	I am very happy to say, (even if this is just a bunch of electronic
ones and zeroes) from my position now, my faith in his Truthfulness is 
completely vindicated (otherwise it would be embarassing as hell). Of course, 
I couldn't vouch for EVERYTHING he said, but in the matter of astral projection, 
the old man really knew what he was talking about.
	
 	In an Age of Disbelief, he had come to light a candle to dispel
some of the darkness. Indeed, his books pointed out a way toward freedom
from the material trap. For that, I am eternally grateful...

	Nowadays, the situation is very much improved. We are in an age
of open and tolerant beliefs. It would have been inconceivable, at the
old man's time, that so many people would have started on a search for
personal meaning and transformation, and yet it is happening now. Thanks
to technology and progress, we are now able to communicate electronically,
and talk about the "taboo" subjects of yester-years in an open, sincere
and inquiring manner.
