Do you believe in the transmigration of souls? In a religious concept based on the belief that the soul, after leaving the physical body in connection with death, can enter the new body shell of an already living person, animal, bird, reptile or other creature? Well, to believe or not - this is your own business. The hero of this article, Henry Hoskin, devoted almost his entire life to mysticism and esotericism, proving to everyone that the Tibetan Lama Lobsang Rampa had settled in his body.
No one can completely deny the existence in our reality of phenomena that are nothing like, amazing and mysterious, mystical to the absurd, because they are. Specifically, this fact is not denied even by representatives of the scientific community.
Kyril Henry Hoskin
To the full, unfortunately or to satisfaction, the given postulate also applies to biography, writing, and the lifestyle of the famous exalted Briton Kyril Henry Hoskin. An ordinary layman, born in the distant 1910, on April 8, in the city of Devon, in the UK, in a poor family of hereditary plumber. And safely relieved as a spiritual enlightener, a Tibetan lama named Lobsang Ramp, in Canadian Calgary on January 25, 1981.
Studying these facts, it can be reliably argued that they are fully proven. Firstly, such an Englishman by the name of Hoskin really lived. He was born in the named year, lived, according to contemporaries, under this name in England, in the county of Surrey. It is a fact. Secondly, twenty-one books that came out of his pen in large numbers when he became a writer under the pseudonym Tewsday Lobsang Ramp are also a fact.
Biographical tour
So meet Lobsang Ramp. The biography of a real person wearing this pseudonym is rather mundane. We partially told how the future science fiction writer, seer and guru was born and lived bored and casual in the family of his plumber father. Nothing remarkable until 1947, until Hoskin came up with the idea to officially change his passport details for Did Paul, in his life did not happen. In addition to his constant telepathic urges and dreams, to plunge into the astral world. Perhaps for this reason he often changed places of residence.
The turning point and the fateful 1949
On June Tuesday (Eng. Tuesday), his newfound personality - Tewsday ("Tuesday") Lobsang Rampa was revealed.
He himself explained the phrase that appeared by the ritual of Tibetan nationalities to give the boy a name on the day of the week when he was born. He specified the procedure in more detail in his book, Lobsang Ramp. The Third Eye details some of the traditions of Tibet.
It must be honestly added that by this time he was already actively writing his books, trying to publish them, but the author was denied to the author in eight publishing houses to which he offered work without convincing explanations. Such is the initial destiny, sad and mournful, for almost all who devoted themselves to a pen and a sheet of paper.
The most compelling factor for typing
After gaining a new name and a literary pseudonym, his books gradually begin to gain popularity among readers - lovers of esotericism and mysticism. The then holders of the printing house of publishing houses had, perhaps, an urgent need for new works by this man. Because they brought fabulous profits, books were sold out instantly, quickly swept away from the shelves of bookstores and shops. Demand was breathtaking! The excitement in the public mind went wild!
Leading newspapers highlighted the most prominent places for publications devoted to such an author as Lobsang Rampa. Reviews were written by both professional critics and ordinary readers who spoke out who is for, who is against. Angry voices sounded, and begging, begging and seething with envy. But there was no one indifferent. This eccentric, not of this world, has hooked everyone for life. They believed and did not believe, did not know how to relate, how to react to a person from the “other world”.
“Third Eye” and Ramp Passion
Was everything that happened to him that Ramp so vividly described in his works was true, or is this an exuberant fantasy of a not-so-normal writing adventurer? Or maybe he really is the embodiment of ancient Tibet from manuscripts, the embodied lama with a third eye?
Is this possible, is it a violent fantasy of a writer or pictures generated by a mental illness? The surgical details of drilling without anesthesia of the forehead bones of the author, described by him in a book with the same name, cause shock. To all this "ramp miracle" do not cease fiery debate to this day. And this confirms at least the professionalism of the writer, who managed to arouse the sincere interest of readers.
The very first book of the author, who began to create under the pseudonym Lobsang Ramp, is “The Third Eye”. She also became one of the most famous books in the world of esotericism. In addition to mysticism, this work describes the nature of Tibet, its inhabitants, customs, legends. Particularly detailed is narrated about the local religion - Buddhism. Moreover, the entire process of immersing the reader in the world of Tibetan Buddhism takes place in a fascinating and inimitable manner, through a description of the process of raising and growing up a boy from an aristocratic family and his spiritual growth.
Everyone knows that in the days of the USSR strict censorship existed, it extended to everything, and especially to foreign literature. The books of such an author as Lobsang Rampa were published in the Union, but their translation was noticeably distorted due to the inconsistency of the content of the prevailing ideology. Therefore, translations made after 1991 have a greater artistic value.
Perseverance and perseverance in achieving the goal
Just to write that the author did not give up, did not give up, means not to give credit to his courage and faith in the matter that took possession of his whole being, soul, thoughts, body. Lobsang Rampa writes and writes, books one by one all the same go on public display. Their list was constantly updated until the death of the author in 1981. The last two were published after his death, but are also included in the list of his literary works. His wife continued the bright and mysterious journey of her husband and also released five of her own compositions, which also interested readers.
The practical value of the work
Different from many esoteric writers Lobsang Ramp. The books of this author are filled with great practical value. In this regard, the "Wisdom of the Ancients" is different. The book was expected by admirers of Lobsang, and for good reason! In it, anyone will find specific practical methods of breathing exercises aimed at improving vision, general strengthening of the health of the body, he will be taught methods of warming at any negative temperatures. Also, information on proper nutrition that maintains the material body in perfect condition will be useful to many. Thus, Rampa's books are not just “ravings of a madman”, as some critics call them, but a set of rules for a healthy life with clear recommendations and techniques.
The eternal trace, like the Milky Way. Lobsang Rampa, you are eternal!
No wonder the wise proverb says: "time is the best doctor, teacher and judge." Years passed, we entered the 21st century, and the seething sea of people boils, only hearing the familiar name of the once unknown and outlandish Englishman.
Yes, they don’t even remember his English roots, everyone has a scandalous and disturbing Tibetan mind and soul: “He who was born on Tuesday.” Eternity is always on the side of the extraordinary, misunderstood and unaccepted in earthly life. They are few, far fewer than boring inhabitants. But few people remember ordinary, unremarkable people. So what about Henry Hoskin? Maybe he was once a llama? And in fact a monk appeared to him, asked for consent to the admission of a departed mentor to the soul body? Maybe it really was so? How to know ...
