Leyburn: tartarus Press:, 2025. First edition, Hardcover, Limited, New in dust jacket, 275 pp. "R.B. Russell has written the first definitive biography of Rampa (also known as Cyril Henry Hoskin). The identity of Rampa may have been conclusively debunked by anybody who knew anything about Tibet, Buddhism, or basic scientific principles, but he would always claim that everything he wrote was true, and until his death in 1980 he doesn't ever seem to have come out of character. Russell's biography of Rampa is accompanied in this volume by three further studies of alternative belief systems that have fascinated him over the years. Following the biography of Rampa, Russell writes about the Millenarian church, the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, who believed their leader was Christ and immortal, and that the world would end in 2000. (Spoiler alert: we are still here, and nobody has seen the leader for several years.)" First edition, Hardcover, Limited, New in dust jacket, N° de réf. du vendeur 75361

Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. A first UK limited edition hardback (300 copies only). Beautiful boards. Unread. Signed by R B Russell. SYNOPSIS: "T Lobsang Rampa's autobiography, The Third Eye was an international bestseller in 1956, but the author had to face some awkward questions from critics. There were two possibilities; either he really was a Tibetan lama whose third eye had been physically opened (and who could reveal secrets of levitation, invisibility, gilded extraterrestrials, giant temple cats, etc), or he was really the eccentric son of a plumber from Plympton in Devon. R.B. Russell has written the first definitive biography of Rampa (also known as Cyril Henry Hoskin). The identity of Rampa may have been conclusively debunked by anybody who knew anything about Tibet, Buddhism, or basic scientific principles, but he would always claim that everything he wrote was true, and until his death in 1980 he doesn?t ever seem to have come out of character. Russell?s biography of Rampa is accompanied in this volume by three further studies of alternative belief systems that have fascinated him over the years. He writes about the Millenarian church, the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, who believed their leader was Christ and immortal, and that the world would end in 2000. (Spoiler alert: we are still here, and nobody has seen the leader for several years.) A further essay is a brief look at one of the Church of Scientology's techniques for recruiting members and the final essay looks at the Temple of Psychic Youth, the knowing attempt by Genesis P-Orridge to create a modern cult."
