"..As far as I can see, it appears that the announcement regarding the author of 'The Third Eye' has done nothing but enhance Lobsang Rampa's prestige, and resulted in bringing his best seller more than ever before the public eye. One lady, an authority on eastern methods and religions, made the remark that if the facts were true, then Lobsang Rampa was an even greater person than ever. Now she is certain that the facts ARE true.
Many people will wonder about the one who occupied that western body before it was taken over by a Tibetan, and I , as the wife, would like to tell something of the events leading up to the change of personality.
At the first indication of something different, I was more than a little startled. We were leading a quiet life in Surrey, my husband being on the staff of a correspondence college in an advisory capacity. Out of the blue came his remark toward the end of 1947. "I am going to change my name." I looked at him aghast for I failed to see any point in doing such a thing. We had nothing to hide, nothing from which to run away. It took me some time to recover after he continued, "Yes we will change our name by Deed Poll. We shall call ourselves KuanSuo."
By February 1948 all legal formalities had been completed and we had no further right to our previous name. My husband's employer was not pleased, but there was little he could do about it, especially as about that time one of the firm's directors had made an alteration to his own name.
Of course, everyone thought that we had at least taken leave of our senses, but that never bothered me. I had lived with my husband for eight years and knew that if he had a hunch to do anything at all, there was a very good reason for it. Soon, however, we noticed that people were not saying our name when addressing us, and even after seeing it written, they didn't seem able to spell it; for that reason we later contracted it to Ku'an. I want to clarify this point to show that we have no time used an alias as has been mistakenly suggested.
At about this time my husband talked a great deal about the east and on occasions he did in fact wear eastern dress; he often seemed to be very pre-occupied in his manner, and I have known him to fall into a ’trance state’ and speak in an unfamiliar tongue, which I now believe to be a language of the east. In July 1948 he again made a sudden decision... this time to give up his job. This he did to the consternation of the employer who had always found him to be a very useful and conscientious member of his staff. The idea behind it was so that we could leave the district and lose all contact, which we did. Within a year he had completely lost touch with previous acquaintances and with our former life. We managed to exist on what we had saved, together with what we could earn from various forms of writing.
The day I happened to look out of the window and see my husband lying at the foot of a tree in the garden, is something I shall never forget. I hurried out to find he was recovering, but to me a trained nurse, he seemed to be stunned or something. When eventually he regained consciousness, he seemed to act differently and in a way I did not understand.
After getting him indoors and upstairs to our flat to rest, the main thought in my mind was to get a doctor as quickly as possible, but I was reckoning without him... He seemed to sense my alarm and implored me not to do so, assuring me that he was quite alright. Certainly his speech seemed different, more halting, as if he was unfamiliar with the language, and his voice appeared deeper than before.
For sometime I was quite concerned for something seemed to have happened to his memory... before speaking or moving he appeared to be making calculations; much later I learned that he was 'tuning' into my mind' to see what was expected of him. I do not mind admitting that in the earliest stages I was very worried, but now it seems quite natural. I have never ceased to wonder that such an ordinary individual as myself should be so closely associated with such a remarkable occurrence as the advent of a Tibetan lama to the western world."
I recently got a copy of "Tibetan Sage" from a used book seller on the internet. If you do a book search on Amazon or Barnes & Noble you'll be directed to a seller if there's one available. If they do not have do a used book seller search on google and you can check if they have it in their inventory...Be warned the book is expensive. I paid $55.56 for my copy plus S&H (and that was the cheapest copy online at the time).
