I will guarantee anonymity except in cases of blatant abuse.
I will achieve anonymity by tallying the results in
uncorrelated tabulations and then deleting the emails.
(I know this loses interesting correlation data, but if
resondents want anonymity it's hard to avoid.)
I know that this anonymity promise depends on trust and that
you have no particular reason to trust me. Someday, I hope.
I will post results Saturday.

AUTHOR'S FOREWORD
"No bitterness," said Mr. Publisher.
"All right," I thought to myself, "but why should I have
any bitterness? I am merely trying to do my job-writing a
book as directed."
"Nothing against the Press!" said Mr. Publisher.
"Nothing!!"
"Dear, dear," I said to myself "What does he take me for?"
So it shall be. Nothing against the Press. After all, they think
they are doing their job, and if they are fed incorrect infor-
mation, then I suppose they cannot be held wholly responsible.
But my idea about the Press? Tut, tut, No. Nothing more
about the subject.
This book follows on from The Third Eye, and from Doctor
from Lhasa. At the very outset I am going to tell you that this
is Truth, not fiction. Everything that I have written in the other
two books is true, and is my own personal experience. What
I am going to write about concerns the ramifications of the
human personality and ego, a matter at which we of the Far
East excel.
However, no more Foreword. The book itself is the thing!
CHAPTER ONE
The jagged peaks of the hard Himalayas cut deeply into
the vivid purple of the Tibetan evening skies. The setting
