To save a lot of later questions, let me say now that Man is one tenth conscious, the other nine tenths deal with the subconscious and all that which comes under the heading 'Racial Memories' and the Occult.
This book is about YOU, not just about one tenth of you, but also that which goes Beyond the Tenth.

Excerpt:
For over a decade you have been writing to me from all over the world, even from the other side of the Iron Curtain, writing to me some thirty or forty letters a day, letters which I have conscientiously answered.
But quite a number of you have written to say that an Author of books such as mine belongs to the Reader, saying that an Author such as I cannot end with nine books but must go on writing until reasonable questions are answered.
To that I replied by writing to several representative people with this question; 'Well, what DO you want in the tenth book? Tell me, tell me what you want, tell me what I've missed in other books, and I will write that tenth book.'
So as a result of the letters I have received in answer to my questions, I have written this book which you are about to read.
Some of you, no doubt, will say that it is repetition here and there. I can only reply that it is the unanimous request of my 'Panel of Readers' or it would not be in this book, and if you think it is repetitious in places, well, it might serve to refresh your memory.
One question I am asked in particular is, 'Oh, Dr. Rampa, visit me in the astral, cure me of this, cure me of that, tell me who is going to win the Irish Sweep stake, come along to our Group Meeting in the astral.' But these readers forget that there are only 24 hours in each day; they also forget the difference in time zones, etc., etc. Even more important, they forget that although I, in the astral, can see them clearly when I want to, yet they may not always be able to see me, although an astonishing number of people have written to me confirming exactly astral visits, telepathic contacts, etc.
Well, it's not intended that this shall be a long letter, so let us get on with the book itself, shall we?
T. Lobsang Rampa
