For centuries Tibet has been referred to as the last home of mystery, the hidden, sealed land, where ancient mysteries still continue to exist that have perished in the rest of the Orient. Many men have written about Tibet and its secret lore, but few have in reality penetrated it to learn its ancient wisdom. Among those few used to be Madame Alexandra David-Neel, a French orientalist. A practicing Buddhist, a profound historian of religion, and linguist, she in reality lived in Tibet for more than 14 years. She had the great honor of being received by the Dalai Lama; she studied philosophical Buddhism and Tibetan Tantra at the great centers; she meditated in lonely caves and on wind-swept winter mountains with yogi hermits; and she even witnessed forbidden corpse-magic in the forests. Her experiences have been unique.
Magic and Mystery in Tibet tells the story of her experiences in Tibet, among lamas and magicians. It is neither a shuttle book nor an autobiography but a study of psychic discovery, a description of the occult and mystical theories and psychic training practices of Tibet. She tells of great sages and sorcerers that she met; of the system of monastic education; the great teachers and their disciples; Tibetan folklore about their spiritual athletes; reincarnation and memory from previous lives; elaborate magical rites to obtain siddhis; the horrible necromantic magic of the pre-Buddhist Bonpa shamas; mental visualization exercises to create disembodied thought forms (tulpas); visions; phenomena of physical yoga, regulate of the body heat mechanism; breathing exercises; sending “messages on the wind”; and much similar material.
An abnormal aspect of Madame David-Neel’s book is that she herself experienced a number of the phenomena she describes, yet she describes them with precision and in a matter-of-fact manner, permitting the reader to attract his own conclusions about validity, interpretation with regards to psychology, and value. Particularly interesting for the modern experiencer are her detailed instructions for tumo (the yoga of heat regulate) and creation of thought projections.
