“THE EYE OF REVELATION?” is truly a revelation. It re- 
veals to you information which has been known and used by men 
in far-distant lands for more than 25 centuries, but which is now 
available to you for the first time. Information which has been 
thoroughly tried and tested and which has been proven beyond a 
doubt to be the greatest gift ever bestowed on man in this material 
plane of existence. Information that will stem the tide of pre- 
mature old age with its attendant weaknesses and senility. This is the information for which Ponce de Leon, and thou- 
sands of others down through the ages, would have given all they 
possessed: for with such information they quickly could have re- 
gained all that they had paid and more. “THE EYE OF REVELATION” produces remarkable mental 
and physical rejuvenation within a month. So much so, in fact. that one gains new hope and enthusiasm with which to carry on. However, the greatest results come after the tenth week. When 
you stop to consider that the average man has endured his afflic- 
tions from 30 to 50 years, to obtain such amazing results in such a 
short time as ten weeks sounds almost miraculous. There is positively no limit to the improvement and progress 
one can make with this information. As long as you live and prac- 
tice "THE EYE OF REVELATION” you will get more gratify- 
results. Not only will they be manifested in the material, but 
if the fortunate individual so desires he may improve his mental 
world as well as all the other worlds to which man is heir. MOST IMPORTANT: The information given in “THE 
EYE OF REVELATION” was, for twenty-five centuries, con- 
fined strictiy to men, Now, to the surprise and delight of all 
concerned, it has been found that women, too; get equally beneficial 
and amazing results. Now, after this long period of waiting every 
adult, man or woman, can go on to grand and glorious things. regardless of age, environment, or circumstances. Get started at once on the marvelous work of REJUVENA- 
TION. TRANSMUTATION, and YOUTHIFICATION. May 
success. health, energy, power, vigor, virility, and LIFE follow 
your footsteps forever. THE PUBLISHERS.THE EYE OF REVELATION —By—

PART ONE 
One afternoon I dropped into the Travelers Club to escape 
a sudden shower, and while seated in an easy chair waiting for 
it to clear up I fell into a conversation with a most interesting 
old gentleman; one who, although I did not know it then, was 
destined to change the whole course of my life. I call him an 
old man for that is exactly what he was. In his late sixties, 
he looked every year his age. He was thin and stooped, and 
when he walked leaned heavily on his cane. It developed that he was a retired British army officer, 
who had likewise seen service in the diplomatic corps of the 
Crown. There were few accessible places on the globe to which 
Colonel Bradford, as I shall call him, although that was not his 
true name, had not, at some time or other in his life, paid a 
visit, and warming under my attention he related incidents in 
his travels which were highly entertaining. Needless to say I 
spent an interesting and profitable afternoon listening to him. This was some years ago. We met often after that and got 
along famously. Many evenings, either at his quarters or at 
mine, we discussed and discoursed until long past midnight. It was on one of these occasions 1 became possessed of a 
feeling that Colonel Bradford wanted to tell me something of 
importance. Something close to his heart which was difficult 
for him to talk about. By using all the tact and diplomacy at 
my command I succeeded in making him understand that I 
should be happy to help him in any way possible, and that if he 
cared to tell me what was on his mind I would keep it in strict 
confidence. Slowly at first, and then with increased trust 
he began to talk. While stationed in India some years ago, Colonel Bradford, 
from time to time, came in contact with wandering natives 
from the remote fastnesses of the country. He heard many 
interesting tales of the life and customs of the country. One 
story, which interested him strangely, he heard quite a number 
of times, and always from natives who inhabited a particular 
—3—district. Those from the other districts seemed never to have 
heard it. It concerned a group of Lamas or Tibetan priests who, 
apparently, had discovered “The Fountain of Youth.” The 
natives told of old men who had mysteriously regained health 
and strength, vigor and virility shortly after entering a certain 
Lamasery; but where this particular place was none seemed 
exactly to know. Like so many other men, Colonel Bradford had become old 
at 40, and had not been getting any younger as the years 
rolled by. Now the more he heard this tale of “The Fountain 
of Youth” the more he became convinced that such a place and 
such men actually existed. He began to gather information 
on directions, character of the country, climate, and various 
other tid-bits that might help him locate the spot; for from 
then on there dwelt in the back of his mind a desire to find 
this “Fountain of Youth.” 
This desire, he told me, had now grown so powerful that he 
had determined to return to India and start in earnest a quest 
for the retreat of these young-old men; and he wanted me to 
go with him. Frankly, by the time he had finished telling me 
this fantastic story I, too, was convinced of its truth, and was 
half-tempted to join him, but finally decided against it. Soon he departed, and I consoled myself for not going with 
the thought that perhaps one should be satisfied to grow old 
gracefully; that perhaps the Colonel was wrong in trying to 
get more out of life than was vouchsafed to other men. And 
yet—a Fountain of Youth!!! What a thrilling idea it was! For 
his own sake I hoped that the old Colonel might find it. Months passed. In the press of every-day affairs Colonel 
Bradford and his “Shangri-La” had grown dim in my memory, 
when one evening on returning to my apartment, there was a 
letter in the Colonel’s own hand-writing. He was still alive! The letter seemed to have been written in joyous desperation. In it he said that in spite of maddening delays and set-backs 
he actually was on the verge of finding the “Fountain.” He 
gave no address. It was more months before I heard from him again. This 
time he had good news. He had found the “Fountain of 
Youth”! Not only that but he was bringing it back to the 
States with him, and would arrive within the next two months. Practically four years had elapsed since I had last seen the old 
man. Would he have changed any, I wondered? He was older,of course, but perhaps no balder, although his stoop might 
have increased a little. Then the startling idea came to me 
that perhaps this “Fountain of Youth’ might really have 
helped him. But in my mind’s eye I could not picture him dif- 
ferently than ] had seen him last, except perhaps a little older. One evening I decided to stay at home by myself and catch 
up on my reading, maybe write a few letters. I had just set- 
tled down to comfortable reading when the telephone rang. “A Colonel Bradford to see you, sir,” said the desk clerk. “Send him up,” I shouted, and casting the book aside I 
hastened to the door. For a moment I stared, and then with 
dismay I saw that this was not Colonel Bradford but a much 
younger person. Noting my surprise the man said, “Weren’t you expecting 
me?” 
“No,” I confessed. “I thought it would be an old friend of 
mine, a Colonel Bradford.” 
“I came to see you about Colonel Bradford, the man you 
were expecting,” he answered. “Come in,” I invited. “Allow me to introduce myself,” said the stranger, entering. “My name is Bradford.” 
“Oh, you are Colonel Bradford's son,” I exclaimed. “I have 
often heard him speak of you. You resemble him somewhat.” 
“No, I am not my son,” he returned. “I am none other than 
your old friend, Colonel Bradford, the old man who went away 
to the Himalayas.” 
1 stood in incredulous amazement at his statement. Then it 
slowly dawned upon me that this really was the Colonel Brad- 
ford whom I had known; but what a change had taken place 
in his appearance. Instead of the stooped, limping, sallow old 
gentleman with a cane, he was a tall, straight, ruddy-com- 
plexioned man in the prime of life. Even his hair, which had 
grown back, held no trace of gray. My enthusiasm and curiosity knew no bounds. Soon I was 
plying him with questions in rapid-fire order until he threw up 
his hands. “Wait, wait,” he protested, laughingly. “I shall start at the 
beginning and tell you al] that has happened.” And this he 
proceeded to do. Upon arriving in India the Colonel started directly for the 
district in which lived the natives who had told of “The 
Fountain of Youth.” Fortunately, he knew quite a bit of their 
—s5—language. He spent several months there, making friends 
with the people and picking up all the information he could 
about the Lamasery he sought. It was a long, slow process, 
but his shrewdness and persistence finally brought him to the 
coveted place he had heard about so often but only half- 
believed existed. Colonel Bradford’s account of what transpired after being 
admitted to the Lamasery sounded like a fairy tale. I only 
wish that time and space permitted me to set down here all of 
his experiences; the interesting practices of the Lamas, their 
culture, and their utter indifference to the work-a-day world. There were no real old men there. To his surprise the Lamas 
considered Colonel Bradford a quite novel sight, for it had been 
a long time since they had seen anyone who looked as old as he. The Lamas good-naturedly referred to the Colonel as “The 
Ancient One.” 
“For the first two weeks after I arrived,” said the Colonel, “I 
was like a fish out of water. I marveled at everything I saw, 
and at times could hardly believe what my eyes beheld. I soon 
felt much better, was sleeping like a top every night, and only 
used my cane when hiking in the mountains. “A month after I arrived I received the biggest surprise of 
my life. In fact, I was quite startled. It was the day I entered 
for the first time, a large, well-ordered room which was used 
as a kind of library for ancient manuscripts. At one end of 
the room was a full-length mirror. It had been over two years 
since I had last seen my reflection so with great curiosity I 
stepped in front of the glass. “] stared in amazement, so changed was my appearance. It 
seemed that J had dropped 15 years from my age. It was my 
first intimation that I was growing younger; but from then on 
I changed so rapidly that it was apparent to all who knew me. Soon the honorary title of “The Ancient One” was heard no 
more.” 
A knock at the door interrupted the Colonel. I opened it to 
admit a couple of friends from out of town who had picked this 
most inauspicious time to spend a sociable evening with me. 1 hid my disappointment and chagrin as best I could and intro- 
duced them to Colonel Bradford. We all chatted together for a 
while and then the Colonel said, rising: 
“I am sorry that I must leave so early, but I have an appoint- 
ment with an old friend who is leaving the city tonight. 1 hope 
I shall see you all again shortly.” 
—6—At the door he turned to me and said, softly, 
“Could you have lunch with me tomorrow? I promise, if 
you can do so you shall hear all about ‘The Fountain of 
Youth.’” 
We agreed as to the time and place to meet and the Colonel 
departed. As I returned to the living room, one of my friends 
remarked, 
“That is certainly a most interesting man, but he looks 
awfully young to be retired from army service.” 
“How old do you suppose he is?” I asked. “Well, he doesn’t look forty,” answered my friend, “but from 
the experiences he has had I suppose he must be that old.” 
“Yes, he’s all of that,” I said evasively, and deftly turned 
the conversation into another channel. I thought it best to 
arouse no wonderment regarding the Colonel until I knew what 
his plans were. The next day, after having lunch together, we repaired to 
the Colonel’s room in a nearby hotel, and there at last he told 
me about “The Fountain of Youth.” 
“The first important thing I was taught after entering the 
Lamasery,” he began, “was this. The body has seven centers, 
which, in English, could be called Vortexes. These are kind of 
magnetic centers. They revolve at great speed in the healthy 
body, but when slowed down—well that is just another name 
for old age, ill-health, and senility. There are two of these 
Vortexes in the brain; one at the base of the throat; another 
in the right side of the body in the region of the liver; one in 
the sexual center; and one in each knee. “These spinning centers of activity extend beyond the flesh 
in the healthy individual, but in the old, weak, senile person 
they hardly reach the surface, except in the knees. The 
quickest way to regain health, youth, and vitality is to start 
these magnetic centers spinning again. There are but five 
practices that will do this. Any one of them will be helpful, but 
all five are required to get glowing results. These five exercises 
are really not exercises at all, in the physical culture sense. The Lamas think of them as ‘Rites,’ and so instead of calling 
them exercises or practices, we too, shall call them Rites.”  
  
  Rite No. | 
There are SEVEN Psychic Vortexes in the body. Vortex is located 
within the forehead; Vortex “B” is located in the posterior part of the 
brain; Vortex “C" is in the region of the throat at the base of the neck; 
Vortex “D" is located in the right side of the body above the waist line; 
Vortex “E” is located in the reproductive anatomy, and it is directly con- 
nected with Vortex “C” in the throat. Vortexes 
one in either knee. These Psychic Vortexes revolve at great speed. When all are revolving 
at high speed and at the same rate of speed the body is in perfect health. When one or more of them slow down, old age, loss of power, and senil- ity wet in, 
   RITE NUMBER ONE 
“The first Rite,” continued the Colonel, “is a simple one. It 
is for the express purpose of speeding up the Vortexes. When 
we were children we used it in our play. It is this: Stand erect 
with arms outstretched, horizontal with the shoulders. Now 
spin around until you become slightly dizzy. There is only one 
caution: you must turn from left to right. In other words, if 
you were to place a clock or watch on the floor face up, you 
would turn in the same way the hands are moving. “At first the average adult will only be able to spin around 
about a half-dozen times until he becomes dizzy enough to 
want to sit or lie down. That is just what he should do, too. That’s what I did. To begin with, practice this Rite only to the 
point of slight dizziness. As time passes and your Vortexes 
become more rapid in movement through this and other Rites, 
you will be able to practice it to a greater extent. “When I was in India it amazed me to see the Maulawiyah, 
or as they are more commonly known, the Whirling Dervishes, 
almost unceasingly spin around and around in a religious 
frenzy. Rite Number One recalled to my attention two things 
in connection with this practice. The first was that these 
Whirling Dervishes always spun in one direction—from left to 
right, clockwise. The second was the virility of the old men; 
they were strong, hearty, and robust. Far more so than most 
men of their age. “When I spoke to one of the Lamas about this he informed 
me that while this whirling movement of the Dervishes did 
have a very beneficial effect, yet it also had a devastating one. It seems that a long siege of whirling stimulates into great 
activity Vortexes ‘A,’ ‘B,’ and ‘E.’ These three have a stim- 
ulating effect on the other two— ‘C’ and ‘D.’ But due to 
excessive leg action the Vortexes in the knees—'E’ and ‘G’— 
are over-stimulated and finally so exhausted that the building 
up of the Vital Forces along with this tearing down causes the 
participants to experience a kind of ‘psychic jag’ which they 
mistake for something spiritual, or at least religious. “However,” continued the Colonel, “we do not carry the 
whirling exercise to excess. While the Whirling Dervishes may 
spin around hundreds of times, we find that greater benefit is 
obtained by restricting it to about a dozen or so times, enough 
so that Rite Number One can stimulate all the Vortexes to 
action.”  
  
  
  Rite No.2 
    
—10—RITE NUMBER TWO 
“Like Rite Number One,” continued the Colonel, “this second 
one is for further stimulating to action the Seven Vortexes. It is even simpler than the first one. In Rite Number Two one 
first lies flat on his back on the floor or on the bed. If prac- 
ticed on the floor one should use a rug or blanket under him, 
folded several times in order that the body will not come into 
contact with the cold floor. The Lamas have what might be 
called in English a ‘prayer rug.’ It is about two feet wide and 
fully six feet long. It is fairly thick and is made from wool and 
akind of vegetable fibre. It is solely for the purpose of insula- 
tion, and so has no other value. Nevertheless, to the Lamas 
everything is of a religious nature, hence their name for these 
mats—‘prayer rugs.’ 
“As I said, one should lie full length on his ‘prayer rug,’ or 
bed. Then place the hands flat down alongside the hips. Fingers should be kept close together with the finger-tips of 
each hand turned slightly toward one another. The feet are 
then raised until the legs are straight up. If possible, let the 
feet extend back a bit over the body, toward the head; but do 
not Jet the knees bend. Then, slowly lower the feet to the floor 
and for a moment allow all muscles to relax. Then perform this 
Rite all over again. “One of the Lamas told me that when he first attempted to 
practice this simple Rite he was so old, weak, and decrepit that 
he couldn’t possibly lift up both legs. Therefore he started out 
by lifting the thighs until the knees were straight up, letting 
the feet hang down. Little by little, however, he was able to 
straighten out his legs until at the end of three months he 
could raise them straight with perfect ease. “T marveled at this particular Lama,” said the Colonel, 
“when he told me this. He was then a perfect picture of health 
and youth, although I knew he was many years older than I. For the sheer joy of exerting himself he used to carry a pack 
of vegetables weighing fully a hundred pounds on his back, 
from the garden to the Lamasery, several hundred feet above. He took his time but never stopped once on the way up, and 
when he would arrive he didn’t seem to be experiencing the 
slightest bit of fatigue. I marveled greatly at this, for the 
first time 1 started up with him, I had to stop at least a dozen 
times. Later I was able to do it easily without my cane and 
with never a stop, but that is another story.” 
—u—      
Rite No.3 
    —n—RITE NUMBER THREE 
“The third Rite should be practiced immediately after prac- 
ticing Rite Number Two. It, too, is a very simple one. All one 
needs to do is to kneel on his ‘prayer rug,’ place his hands on 
his thighs, and lean forward as far as possible with the head 
inclined so that the chin rests on the chest. Now lean back- 
ward as far as possible; at the same time the head should be 
lifted and thrown back as far as it will go. Then bring the 
head up along with the body. Lean forward again and start 
the rite all over. This Rite is very effective in speeding up 
Vortexes ‘E,’ ‘D,’ and ‘C’; especially ‘E.’ 
“I have seen more than 200 Lamas perform this Rite to- 
gether. In order to turn their attention within, they closed 
their eyes. In this way they would not become confused by 
what others were doing and thus have their attention diverted. “The Lamas, more than two and a half millenniums ago, dis- 
covered that all good things come from within. They discovered 
that every worthwhile thing must have its origin within the 
individual. This is something that the Occidental has never 
been able to understand and comprehend. He thinks, as | did, 
that all worthwhile things must come from the outside world. “The Lamas, especially those at this particular Lamasery, 
are performing a great work for the world. It is performed, 
however, on the astral plane. This plane, from which they 
assist mankind in all quarters of the globe, is high enough 
above the vibrations of the world to be a powerful focal point 
where much can be accomplished with little loss of effort. “Some day the world will awaken in amazement to what the 
unseen forces—the Forces of Good—have been doing for the 
masses. We who take ourselves in hand and make new crea- 
tures of ourselves in every imaginable way, each is doing a 
marvelous work for mankind everywhere. Already the efforts 
of these advanced individuals are being welded together into 
One Irresistible Power. A new day is dawning for the world— 
it is already here. But it is only through individuals like the 
Lamas, and you and me that the world can possibly be helped. “Most of mankind, and that includes those in the most en- 
lightened countries, like America and England, is still in the 
darkest of the Dark Ages. However, they are being prepared 
for better and more glorious things, and as fast as they can be 
initiated into the higher life, just that fast will the world be 
made a better place in which to live.”

  Rite No.4 
    
—4—RITE NUMBER FOUR 
“Now for Rite Number Four,” said the Colonel. ‘The first 
time I tried this it seemed very difficult, but after a week it 
was as simple to do as any of the others. “Sit on the ‘prayer rug’ with the feet stretched out in front. Then place the hands alongside the body. Now raise the body 
and bend the knees so that the legs, from the knees down, are 
practically straight up and down. The arms, too, will be 
straight up and down while the body, from the shoulders to the 
knees, will be horizontal. Before pushing the body to a hor- 
izontal position the chin should be well down on the chest. Then, as the body is raised the head should be allowed to drop 
gently backward as far as it will go. Next, return to a sitting 
position and relax for a moment before repeating the proced- 
ure. When the body is pressed up to the complete horizontal 
position tense every muscle in the body. This will have a 
tendency to stimulate Vortexes ‘F,’ ‘G,’ ‘E,’ ‘D’ and ‘C.’ 
“After leaving the Lamasery,” continued Colonel Bradford, 
“I went to a number of the larger cities in India, and as an 
experiment conducted classes for both English people and 
natives. I found that the older members of either felt that 
unless they could perform a Rite perfectly, right from the 
beginning, they believed no good could come from it. I had 
considerable difficulty in convincing them that they were 
wrong. Finally I persuaded them to do the best they could and 
see just what happened in a month’s time. After a good deal 
of persuasion I was able to get them to do their best, and the 
results in a month’s time were more than gratifying. “T remember in one city I had quite a number of old people 
in one of my classes. With this particular Rite—Number Four 
—they could just barely get their bodies off the floor; they 
couldn’t get it anywhere near a horizontal position. In the 
same class were several much younger persons who had no 
difficulty in performing the Rite perfectly from the very start. This so discouraged the older people that I had to ask the 
younger ones to refrain from practicing it before their older 
class-mates. I explained that I could not do it at first, either; 
that I couldn’t do a bit better than any of them; but that I 
could perform the Rite 50 times in succession now without 
feeling the slightest strain on nerves or muscles; and in order 
to convince them, I did it right before their eyes. From then 
on the class broke all records for results accomplished. —15—  
  
  
  Rite No.5 
    
—16—RITE NUMBER FIVE 
“The best way to perform this Rite is to place the hands on 
the floor about two feet apart. Then, with the legs stretched 
out to the rear with the feet also about two feet apart, push 
the body, and especially the hips, up as far as possible, rising 
on the toes and hands. At the same time the head should be 
brought so far down that the chin comes up against the chest. “Next, allow the body to come slowly down to a ‘sagging’ 
position. Bring the head up, causing it to be drawn as far 
back as possible. “After a few weeks, that is after you become quite pro- 
ficient in this movement, let the body drop from its highest 
position to a point almost but not quite touching the floor. The 
muscles should be tensed for a moment when the body is at 
the highest point, and again at the lowest point. Before the 
end of the first week this particular Rite will be one of the 
easiest ones to perform for the average person. “Everywhere I go,” went on the Colonel, “ folks, at first, call 
these Rites physical culture exercises. I would like to make it 
clearly understood that these are not physical culture exer- 
cises at all. They are only performed a few times a day; so 
few times that they could not possibly be of any value as 
physical culture movements. What the Rites actually do is 
this: They start the seven Vortexes spinning at a normal rate 
of speed; at the speed which is normal for, say, a young, strong, 
robust, virile man of twenty-five years of age. “Now in such a person the Vortexes are all spinning nor- 
mally at the same rate of speed. On the other hand, if you 
could view the seven Vortexes of the average middle-aged man 
—weak, unhealthy, and semi-virile, as he is—you would notice 
at once that some of the Vortexes had greatly slowed down in 
their spinning movement; and worse still, all were spinning at 
a different rate of speed—none of them working together in 
harmony. The slower ones allowed that part of the body which 
they govern to degenerate, deteriorate, and become diseased. The faster ones, spinning at a much greater speed would have 
caused nervousness and nerve exhaustion. All of them making 
the individual anything but a real man. “The only difference between youth and virility, and old age 
and senility, is simply the difference in the rate of speed at 
which the Vortexes are spinning. Normalize the different 
speeds, and the old man becomes a new man again.” 
—7—Further Information   
When the Colonel had finished his description of the Five 
Rites I said to him, 
“Let me ask you some questions now.” 
“Very well,” he replied. “That is just what I want you to do.” 
“I feel that from your description I understand the Rites 
quite well,” I began, “but when and how often are they to be 
employed?” 
“They can be used either night and morning,” answered the 
Colonel, “in the morning only, or just at night, if it is more 
convenient. I use them both morning and night, but I would 
not advise so much stimulation for the beginner until he has 
practiced them for about four months. At the start he could 
use them the full number of times in the morning, and then in 
the evening he could gradually build up until finally he is doing 
the same amount of practice as in the morning.” 
“Just how many times a day should a man use these Rites?" was my next question. “To start with,” said he, “I would suggest you practice each 
Rite three times a day for the first week. Then increase them 
by two a day each week until you are doing 21 a day; which 
will be at the beginning of the 10th week. If you cannot prac- 
tice Rite Number One, the whirling one, the same number of 
times as the others, then do it only as many times as you can 
without getting too dizzy. The time will come, however, when 
you can practice it the full number of 21 times. “T knew of one man who required more than a year before he 
could do it that many times. But he performed the other four 
without difficulty, gradually increasing the number until he 
was doing the full 21 on all four. He got very splendid results. “Under certain conditions,” added the Colonel, “there are 
some who find it difficult to perform Rite Number One at all, 
to begin with. But after having done the other four for about 
six months they are amazed at how easy it is to do Number 
One. Likewise with the other Rites. If for any reason one or 
more of them cannot be used, do not be discouraged; use what 
you can. Results, in that case, will be a little slower, but that 
is the only handicap. “If one has been recently operated on for, say, appendicitis, 
or is afflicted with hernia, he should be very cautious in prac- 
ticing Rites Number Two and Five. If one is very heavy, he 
—18—should be cautious in the use of Number Five until his weight 
has been greatly reduced. “All five of the Rites are of importance. Even though he 
may not be able to perform them the prescribed number of 
times the individual may rest assured that just a few times 
each day will be of benefit. “If, at the end of the fourth week, one finds that he cannot 
perform every one of the Rites the required number of times 
he should note carefully the ones which he is forced to slight. Then, if he is performing the Five Rites in the morning he 
should try to make up the deficiency in the evening. Or if he 
is performing the Rites in the evening he should endeavor to 
find time in the morning to catch up. In either event he should 
not neglect the other Rites, and above all he should never strain 
himself. If he goes about performing the Rites in an easy, 
interesting manner it will not be long before he finds every- 
thing working out satisfactorily, and that he is doing the Rites 
the required 21 times a day. “Some people, acting on their own initiative, invent little 
aids for their practices. An old fellow in India found it im- 
possible for him to perform Rite Number Four properly even 
once. He wouldn't be satisfied with just getting his body off 
the floor; he was determined that it should reach a horizontal 
position as the Rite prescribed. So he got a box about ten. inches high and two and a half feet long. Upon this he put 
some bedding folded to the right size, and across this padded 
box he lay flat on his back. Then, with his feet on the floor 
at one end and his hands on the floor at the other he found it 
quite simple to raise his body to a horizontal position. “Now while this little ‘stunt’ may not in itself have helped 
the old gentleman in performing the Rite the full 21 times, 
still the psychological effect of being able to raise his body as 
high as the much stronger men was undoubtedly quite stimu- 
lating and may have been quite beneficial. I do not particularly 
recommend this old man’s aid, although it may help those who 
think it impossible to make progress in any other way; but if 
you have an inventive mind you will think of ways and means 
to help you in performing the more difficult Rites. “These Rites are so powerful that if one were left out en- 
tirely while the other four were practiced regularly the full 
number of times, only the finest kind of results would be 
experienced. Only one Rite alone will do wonders, as evidenced 
by the Whirling Dervishes of whom we spoke. Had they spun 
—19—around only a limited number of times, they would have found 
themselves greatly benefitted, although they may not have 
attributed their improved condition to the whirling. The fact 
that they whirled from left to right and that the old men, who 
no doubt whirled around less than the younger ones, were 
virile and strong is ample proof that just one Rite will have 
powerful effects. So if any one finds that they simply cannot 
perform all five of these practices or that they cannot perform 
them all the full number of times, they may still know that 
good results will be experienced from what they are able to do.” 
“Does anything else go with these Five Rites?” I asked. “There are two more things which would help. The first is 
to stand erect with hands on hips between the Five Rites and 
take one or two deep breaths. The other suggestion is to take 
either a tepid bath or a cool, but not cold, one after practicing 
the Rites. Going over the body quickly with a wet towel and 
then with a dry one is probably even better. One thing I must 
caution you against ; you must never take a shower, tub, or wet 
towel bath which is cold enough to chill you even slightly in- 
ternally. If you do you will have undone all the good you have 
gained from performing the Five Rites.” 
“This all seems so simple,” I ventured, “do you mean to tell 
me that this is all that is necessary in the work of restoring 
senile, old men to robust health, vigor, and virility?” 
“All that is required,” answered the Colonel, “is to practice 
the Five Rites three times a day to begin with, and gradually 
increase them as I have explained until each is being practiced 
21 times each day. That is all; there is nothing more. “Of course,” he continued, “one must practice them every 
day in order to keep one’s robust vitality. You may skip one 
day a week, but never more than that. The use of the Five 
Rites is no hardship at all; it requires less than 10 minutes a 
day to practice them. If necessary one can get up ten minutes 
earlier or go to bed ten minutes later. “The Five Rites are for the express purpose of restoring a 
man to manhood. That is, to make him virile and keep him that 
way constantly. Whether or not he will make the come-back 
in youthful appearance, as I have done in so short a time, de- 
pends on how he uses his virility. Some men do not care 
whether they look young, or even whether they appear young, 
just so long as they have all their manly powers. But as for 
me, I was an old man for so many years, practically forty, that 
I like the idea of throwing off the years in every way possible.”

PART TWO 
It had been ten weeks since Colonel Bradford's return from 
India. Much had happened in that time. I had immediately 
started putting the Five Rites into practice and had been 
getting most gratifying results. The Colonel had been busy 
with some personal business transactions and I saw little of 
him for a while, but when he once more was at leisure I lost no 
time telling him of my progress and in enthusiastically expres- 
sing my feeling regarding this wonderful new system of re- 
gaining health, vigor, power, virility, and vitality. Ever since the day I was sure that I was well on the way 
to new youth and vigor, I had been thinking of what a splendid 
idea it would be to pass on the information about the Five 
Rites to my friends, and now that the Colonel had time to 
spare I approached him with the idea of forming a class. He 
agreed that it was a very commendable idea and agreed to 
teach it himself on three conditions. The first of these conditions was that the class should 
comprise a cross-section of men from all walks of life—from 
ditch-diggers to bankers. The second condition was that no 
member could be under 50 years of age, although they could 
be up to a hundred or more, if I knew any one that old. These 
two conditions met with my satisfaction; but the third was a 
big disappointment. The Colonel insisted that the class be 
limited to 15 members, and I had ten times that number in 
mind. However, no amount of persuasion and coercion could 
change his mind. From the beginning the class was a huge success. We met 
once a week and my friends all had implicit faith in the Colonel 
and in the Five Rites. As early as the second week I could see 
marked improvement in several of them, although, being for- 
bidden to discuss their progress with anyone but the Colonel, 
I could not verify my impression. However, at the end of a 
month we held a kind of testimonial meeting. Every man re- 
ported improvement. Some told most glowing accounts; a few, 
most remarkable ones. A man nearing 75 years of age had 
made more gains than any of the others. The weekly meetings of “The Himalaya Club,” as we had 
named it, continued. The tenth week rolled around and prac- 
—u—ically all of the members were performing all Five Rites 21 
times a day. All of them were feeling better and some claimed 
to have dropped age from their appearance and jokingly gave 
their ages as younger than they really were. This brought to 
mind that several of them had asked the Colonel his age but 
that he had told them he would wait until the end of the tenth 
week to tell them. This was the evening, but as yet the Colonel 
had not put in an appearance. Some one suggested that each 
member write on a slip of paper what age he believed the 
Colonel to be and then they would compare notes. As the 
papers were being collected, in walked Colonel Bradford. When 
he was told what had taken place he said, 
“Bring them to me and I shall see how well you have esti- 
mated my age. Then I shall tell you what it really is.” 
The slips all read from 88 to 42, and with great amusement 
the Colonel read them aloud. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I thank you. You are most compli- 
mentary. And as you have been honest with me, I shall be 
equally honest with you. I shall be 78 years of age on my 
next birthday.” 
The members stared in consternation and amazement. They 
found it hard to believe that one so youthful in appearance 
could have lived so long. Then they wanted to know why, 
inasmuch as they already felt half their former age, they, too, 
had not made more progress in youthful appearance. “In the first place, gentlemen,” the Colonel informed them, 
“you have only been doing this wonderful work for ten weeks. When you have been at it two years you will see a much more 
pronounced change. Then again, I have not told you all there 
is to know. I have given you five Rites which are for the 
express purpose of restoring one to manly vigor and vitality. These five Rites also make one appear more youthful; but if 
you really want to look and be young in every respect there is 
a Sixth Rite that you must practice. I have said nothing about 
it until now because it would have been useless to you without 
first having obtained good results from the other five.” 
The Colonel then informed them that in order to go further 
with the aid of this Sixth Rite it would be necessary for them 
to lead a more or less continent life. He suggested that they 
take a week to think the matter over and decide whether or 
not they desired to do so for the rest of their lives. Then those 
who wished to go on would be given Rite Number Six. There 
were but five who came back the next week, although accord- 
—2—ing to the Colonel this was a better showing than he had 
experienced with any of his classes in India. When he had first told them about the Sixth Rite, the 
Colonel had made it clear that the procreative energy would be 
lifted up, and that this lifting-up process would cause not only 
the mind to be renewed but the entire body as well; but that it 
entailed certain restrictions with which the average man did 
not care to conform. Then he went on with this explanation. “In the average virile man,” said the Colonel, “the life forces 
course downward, but in order to become a Super-man they 
must be turned upward. This we call ‘The Newer Use of the 
Reproductive Energy.’ Turning these powerful forces upward 
is a very simple matter, yet man has attempted it in many 
ways for centuries and in almost every instance has failed. Whole religious orders in the Occidental World have tried this 
very thing, but they, too, have failed because they have tried 
to master the procreative energy by suppressing it. There is 
only one way to master this powerful urge, and that is not by 
dissipating or suppressing it but by TRANSMUTING it — 
transmuting it and at the same time lifting it upward. In this 
way you really and truly have discovered not only the ‘Elixir 
of Life,’ as the ancients called it, but you have put it to use as 
well, which is something the ancients were seldom able to do. “Now this Rite Number Six is the simplest thing in the 
world to perform. It should only be practiced when one has an 
excess of procreative energy; when there is a natural desire 
for its expression. It can be done so easily that it can be per- 
formed anywhere at any time. When one feels the powerful 
reproductive urge, here is all that is necessary: 
“Stand erect and then let all the air out of the lungs, as one 
bends over and places his hands on his knees. Force out the 
last trace of air. Then, with empty lungs, stand erect, place 
hands on hips, and push down on them. This has a tendency 
to push up the shoulders. While doing this, pull in the abdomen 
just as far as possible, which raises the chest. Now hold this 
position as long as you can. Then when you are forced to take 
air into the empty lungs, let the air flow in through the nose. Exhale it through the mouth as you relax the arms and let 
them hang naturally at your sides. Then take several deep 
breaths through the mouth or nose and allow them to quickly 
escape through either the mouth or the nose. This constitutes 
one complete performance of Rite Number Six. About three 
are required to subdue the most masculine urge and to turn 
—23B—the powerful procreative or reproductive forces upward. “The only difference there is between the average virile 
man and the Super-man is that the virile lets the procreative 
urge flow downward while the Super-man turns the procreative 
urge upward and reproduces within himself a new man—a 
strong, powerful, magnetic man who is constantly growing 
younger, day by day, moment by moment. This is the true 
SUPER-MAN, who creates within himself the true ‘ELIXIR 
OF LIFE.’ Now you understand why it was unnecessary for 
me to have left my native England to find the ‘Fountain of 
Youth’—it was within me all the time. Now you can see that 
when I wrote you some time ago that I had found ‘The Foun- 
tain of Youth’ and was bringing it back with me, I meant 
just that. The Five Rites and the ‘Fountain’ are one. “When I remember Ponce de Leon and his futile search for 
the ‘Fountain’ I think of how simple it would have been for him 
to stay at home and simply use it; but he, like myself, believed 
it was anywhere in the world except within one’s self. “Please understand that in order to perform Rite Number 
Six it is absolutely necessary that a man have full masculine 
virility. He couldn’t possibly raise up and transmute pro- 
creative energy if there were little or none to transmute. It is 
absolutely impossible for the impotent man or the one with 
little virility to perform this Rite. He shouldn’t even attempt 
it, because it would only lead to discouragement, which might 
do him great harm. Instead he should first practice the other 
five Rites until he has full masculine power, and this regardless 
of how young or how old he may be. Then when the first full 
bloom of youth is experienced within him, he may, if he wishes, 
go on to the business of being a SUPER-MAN. “The man of the world is interested only in the material 
things of the world, and for that reason should practice only 
the first five Rites until he feels the urge or desire within to 
become the SUPER-MAN. Then he should decide definitely ; 
for a clean-cut start and a new life are absolutely necessary 
to those who lead the SUPER-LIFE. They are the ones who 
become MYSTICS, OCCULISTS, and ADEPTS. They it is 
who truly see with THE EYE OF REVELATION. “Again I say, let no man concern himself with the up-turning 
of the sex currents until he is thoroughly satisfied in his own 
mind and heart that he truly desires to lead the life of the 
MYSTIC; then let him make the step forward, and success 
will crown his every effort. —14—The Eye of Revelation 
PART THREE 
After the tenth week Colonel Bradford no longer attended 
each weekly meeting. However, he still kept up his interest 
in the “Himalaya Club,” and from time to time would speak on 
various subjects which would aid them in their work. Some- 
times the members requested him to advise them on some 
particular subject. For instance, we discussed among our- 
selves one night the tremendously important part that food 
played in our lives. How the right food would make us more 
alive and vigorous while the wrong food would make us slug- 
gish and dull. None of us knew much about the subject, 
however, so we requested the Colonel to advise us at our next 
meeting as to the Lamas’ policy regarding food. “In the Himalayan Lamasery where I was a neophyte,” said 
the Colonel, in addressing us the following week, “there are no 
problems concerning the right foods, nor in getting sufficient 
food. Each of the Lamas does his share of the work in pro- 
ducing what is needed. Furthermore, all the work is done by 
the most primitive means. Even the soil is spaded by hand. Of course, the Lamas could use horses and plows if they so 
desired, but direct contact with the soil, handling it and work- 
ing with it, seems to add something to man’s existence. Per- 
sonally, it made me feel very strongly that I was a part of the 
Universal. Not merely working with it or working for it but 
rather that the Universal and I were one. “Now it is true that the Lamas are vegetarians, but not 
strictly so. They do use eggs, butter, and cheese in quantities 
sufficient to serve certain functions of the brain, body, and 
nervous system. But aside from this they do not need meat, 
for all who are strong and virile, and who practice Rite Number 
Six have no need of meat, fish, or fowl. “Most of those who join the ranks of the Lamas are men 
of the world who know little about proper food and diet. Yet 
they are only in the Grand Retreat in the Himalayas a very 
short while when they begin to show wonderful signs of physi- 
cal improvement, due no doubt to the diet in the Lamasery. “No Lama is choicy about his meals. He can’t be because 
there is little to choose from. A Lama diet consists of good, 
wholesome food but as a rule it consists of but one article of 
—25—food to a meal. That in itself is a secret of health. When one 
eats just one kind of food at a time there can be no clashing 
of foods in the stomach. Foods clash in the stomach because 
starches will not mix with proteins. For example, bread, which 
is starchy, when eaten with meats, eggs, or cheese, which are 
protein, sets up a reaction in the stomach which often causes 
not only immediate physical pain, but which contributes as 
well to a short life and a not particularly merry one. “Many times in the Lamasery dining hall I have set down 
to the table along with the Lamas and eaten a meal consisting 
solely of bread. At other times I have had nothing but fresh 
vegetables and fresh fruits, while at still another meal I ate 
nothing but cooked vegetables and cooked fruits. At first I 
greatly missed the large variety of foods to which I had been 
accustomed; but after a short while I could eat and enjoy a 
meal consisting of nothing but dark bread or some one partic- 
ular fruit. Sometimes it would be a feast of one vegetable. “The point I wish to bring out to you gentlemen is not that 
you should resign yourselves to a diet of one kind of food to a 
meal but that you should keep starches, fruits, and vegetables 
separate from meats, fish, and fowl at your meals. “It is permissible to make a meal of just meat. In fact, you 
could have several kinds of meats to a meal. You can have 
butter, eggs, and cheese with the meat meal, and dark bread, 
and, if you wish, coffee, or tea, but you must not end up with 
anything sweet or starchy. No pies or cakes or puddings. “Then again, your meal can be strictly starches. Then you 
can indulge in all the sweet fruits, all the bread, butter, pies, 
cakes, puddings, and fresh or cooked vegetables you like with- 
out feeling any ill effects. But keep these meals separate. “Butter seems to be a neutral. It can be used with either a 
starchy meal or with a meat meal. Milk, however, agrees 
better with starch meals. Coffee and tea should always be 
taken black, never with cream, although a small amount of 
sweetening will do no harm. “The proper use of eggs was another interesting and bene- 
ficial thing that came to my attention while dwelling in the 
Lamasery. The Lamas would not eat whole eggs unless 
they were engaged in hard manual labor; then they might eat 
one, medium-boiled. However, they did indulge to a very great 
extent in raw egg yolks, discarding the white part. Before I 
learned better it seemed a waste of perfectly good food to 
throw the cooked whites to the chickens, but now I know that 
—26—no one should eat the whites of eggs unless he is doing hard 
manual labor; the egg whites are used only by the muscles. “Although I had always been aware of the fact that egg 
yolks were particularly good for one, it wasn’t until after I 
arrived at the Lamasery and had an opportunity to talk with 
an old Austrian chemist that I learned their true value. Then 
I was amazed to find out that just common hen eggs contain 
at least half of the sixteen elements required by the brain, 
nerves, blood, and tissues. It is true that these elements are 
only needed in small quantities, but they must be included in 
the diet if one is to be exceptionally robust and healthy, both 
mentally and physically. “There is one thing more of great importance that I learned 
from the Lamas. They taught me to eat, not slowly for its own 
sake, but so that I might masticate my food more thoroughly. Their bread is tough and it takes good chewing to reduce it to 
a liquid before swallowing it, but this I learned to do. “Everything one eats should be ‘digested,’ so to speak, in the 
mouth before allowing it to enter the stomach. Starches, 
particularly, must be digested in the mouth. Unless they first 
are thoroughly mixed with saliva they literally are dynamite 
when they get to the stomach. “While one can do with little mastication of protein foods, 
such as meat, fish, and fowl, it is a sensible thing to chew 
them well anyhow. More nourishment can be obtained from 
food when it is thoroughly masticated. This necessitates less 
food, and often the amount can be reduced by one-half. “Many things which I had casually taken for granted before 
entering the Lamasery seemed shocking when I left it two 
years later. One of the first things I noted upon arriving in 
one of the larger cities in India was the prodigious amount of 
food consumed by everyone who could afford to do so. I have 
seen one man eat a quantity of food at a meal sufficient to 
feed four hard-working Lamas and keep them alive and thriv- 
ing. Providing, of course, that the Lamas would put that 
variety of food in their stomachs, which they would not do. “Variety was another thing which appalled me. Having 
been in the habit of eating but one or two foods at a meal, it 
amazed me to count 23 varieties of food one evening on my 
host’s table. No wonder that the English and the Americans 
have such miserable stomachs and such damnably poor health. They seem to know nothing whatsoever about the kind of food 
they should eat for health and strength. —277—“Just the other evening I had dinner with a very learned 
man. He was an educator and quite an intellectual. He calmly 
stated, while we waited to be served, that in a few short years 
the human race could become really worthwhile providing his 
ideas were thoroughly carried out. This man was an excellent 
dictator type, and I was quite impressed by his knowledge, his 
original ideas, and his ability to express himself. But when 1 
saw this man’s selection of food at the dinner table my opinion 
of him changed. It was the most atrocious combination of 
nutritive TNT I ever saw. I thought, if I could only give him 
some simple ideas about food he could become a really worth- 
while force for good in the world in a few short weeks. “The right food, the right combinations of foods, the right 
amount of food, and the right method of eating food combines 
to do great things for one. It will enable one to put on weight 
if he is underweight, and to reduce if he is overweight. There 
are many other things of a different character that I should 
like to tell you tonight but we haven’t time. Keep in mind 
these five things: 
(1) “Never eat starch and meat at the same meal; although 
if you are strong and healthy it need not cause you too 
much concern now. (2) “If coffee bothers you, drink it black, using no mill or 
cream. If it bothers you then, discontinue its use. (8) “Chew your food to a liquid and cut down on the amount 
as much as possible. (4) “By all means and before all else eat raw egg yolks once 
a day, every day, Take them at meal times but not with 
the meals; rather just before or just after. (5) “Reduce the varieties of food to a minimum. If one is 
really hungry before he starts eating, the tendency to 
desire many different foods is lost in hunger.” 
—28—The Eye of Revelation 
PART FOUR 
Colonel Bradford was speaking before the ‘“‘Himalaya Club” 
for the last time before leaving on a tour of the United States 
and a visit to his native England. He had selected for his 
subject the things that help youthify a man, regardless of 
whether or not he practices Rite Number Six. As the Colonel 
spoke he seemed to be keener, more alert and vigorous and 
virile than ever before. Upon his return from the Lamasery 
he had struck me as the acme of perfection; yet since then he 
had kept right on improving, and even now was making new 
gains constantly. “There are several things I want to talk about tonight,” 
began the Colonel, “which I am sure will interest you. The 
first of them is the human voice. Do you realize that when 
one has made a study of men’s voices he can tell instantly how 
much masculine vitality a man possesses just by hearing him 
speak? You have all heard the shrill, piping voice of an old 
man. Well, when a man’s voice begins to take on that high 
pitch he is in a very deplorable condition. Let me explain. “The Vortex at the base of the neck has power over the vocal 
cords. This Vortex and the one below in the sex center are 
directly connected. Of course, all the Vortexes have a common 
connection, but these two are geared together, as it were. What affects one affects the other, so that when a man’s voice 
is high his manly vitality is low. “Now all that is necessary to speed up these two Vortexes, 
along with the others, is to practice the Five Rites. However, 
one does not have to wait until these Vortexes are increased 
in speed by the use of the Five Rites, but can raise their speed 
of vibration with a special method that works very well. This 
particular practice is easy. It consists in simply putting forth 
an effort to keep the voice low; not allowing it to become high, 
shrill, or piping. Listen to men with good low voices and be- 
come conscious of how a real man’s voice sounds. Then when- 
ever you talk, keep the voice down to the masculine pitch as 
much as possible. “Real old men will find this to be quite a little task; but it 
brings results. The first thing you know the lowered voice 
will speed up the Vortex in the base of the throat. That will 
—29—speed up the Vortex in the sex center, which will improve the 
man in masculine energy, and this again will cause the Vortex 
in the throat to speed up. The adolescent boy whose voice is 
changing is experiencing the same thing. The Two Vortexes 
are speeding up. In this case it is usually caused by the Vortex 
in the procreative center being speeded up by nature. But 
anything that will speed up the Vortex in the throat will cause 
its companion Vortex immediately below to increase speed. “There are a number of young men who are robust and 
virile now who will not remain that way long. This is due to 
the fact that their particular voice, for several reasons which 
1 haven’t the time to explain now, never came down to the 
masculine pitch. But these young men, as well as the old ones, 
can definitely get results of a very wonderful nature by con- 
sciously lowering their voices. In the young men it will mean 
prolonged virility; in the older men, renewed virility. “Some time ago I came across a quite splendid voice exer- 
cise. Like all other potent things it is very simple. Whenever 
you are by yourself or where there is sufficient noise to drown 
your voice so that you will not annoy others, practice saying 
in low masculine voice, partly through the nose; 
‘Me—me—me—me—me.’ 
“Repeat it time and again. When you get it down quite low, 
try it in a small room, like the bath room. You can often make 
the room hum with your voice. Then try to get the same effect 
in a larger room. Of course, listening to this vibration of your 
voice is not entirely necessary; but often the vibration will 
cause the other Vortexes in the body to speed up, especially 
the one in the sex center and the two in the head. I might 
add that in old women, the voice also becomes shrill and should 
be toned down. Of course, a woman's voice naturally is higher 
than a man’s. If she should get it down as low as a man’s it 
would not be beneficial at all to her. It would speed up the 
Two Vortexes—the one in the throat and its companion, so as 
to cause her to act, look, think, and talk mannishly. By the 
same token, a mannish woman could wonderfully improve her- 
self by raising her voice to the level of a normal woman's. “T have known of men with high voices who partook of so 
much alcoholic beverages that they developed ‘whiskey’ voices 
—low and growling. To their amazement they began to be- 
come virile again. Usually they attributed their good fortune 
to intemperance or to a certain brand of whiskey, but neither 
intemperance nor whiskey did anything for them directly. —30—What happened was that the vocal cords were irritated and 
therefore inflamed and swollen. This lowered the voice and 
raised the speed of the Vortex in the throat, which in turn, 
raised the vibrations of the Vortex in the masculine center 
below, and brought about the renewed masculine vitality. “Now,” said the Colonel, after pausing a moment, “I want 
to speak on one more subject, which could be entitled ‘Putting 
off the old man.’ Lowering the voice and speeding up the 
Vortexes certainly has a lot to do in eliminating the ‘old man’ 
within us, but there are other things which help to make us 
much younger even though they do not directly affect the 
Vortexes. If it were possible suddenly to take a man out of a 
decrepit old body and place him in a brand-new youthful one 
about 25 years of age, I am confident that the old man he had 
allowed himself to become would cause him to remain old in 
most of his ways. It is true that he would perk up a bit 
around the ladies, outside of that I think he would remain old. “Getting old, of course, is brought about first by a lack or a 
complete absence of manly virility. But that is not the only 
cause. The world is full of old men around 60 who get a certain 
dubious pleasure out of acting old. This is all wrong. Regard- 
less of whether a man has full vitality at the present time or 
not he should do everything possible to eliminate the ‘old man’ 
that has crept within him. He must be dislodged and rooted 
out. Therefore, gentlemen, from now on get rid of the ‘old 
man’ within you. How to do it? It is very simple. Don't do 
the things old people do. With your new and ever-increasing 
vitality this should be easy. “The first thing to do is to straighten up. Stand like a man 
should. When you first started this class some of you were so 
bent over that you looked like question marks; but as vigor 
returned and spirits became better you began to straighten up. That was fine; but don’t stop now. Straighten right on up, 
start throwing your chest out, pull the stomach and the chin 
in, and right away you have eliminated 20 years from your 
appearance and 40 years from your mind. “Then eliminate ‘old man’ mannerisms. When you walk, 
know first where you are going; then start out and go there. Don’t dog-trot or run, and don’t shuffle along, but pick up your 
feet and stride. Keep one eye on where you are going and the 
other one on everything you pass. “At the Himalayan Lamasery there was a man, a European, 
whom you would have sworn was not over 35 years of age, and 
—31—who acted like a man of 25 in every respect. This man was 
over a hundred, and if I told you how much over a hundred 
you would not believe me. “Now about your weight. If you are underweight you can 
throw off the years by increasing your weight. If you are 
overweight, which is a splendid sign of old age and senility, 
you can throw off more years by reducing the weight to nor- 
mal. Get rid of the enlarged abdomens, too, and you will look 
10 years younger immediately. “Here is something else which should interest all of you. Only two years ago I was as bald as the baldest man here. When vitality started coming back, one of the Lamas told me 
to massage my scalp good with a piece of butter twice a week. The butter up there was fresh, not a bit of salt in it. I took 
his advice and massaged my scalp with butter until it soon 
loosened up. I did this about one hour after a meal. The food 
elements in the blood were brought to the scalp by the circula- 
tion of the blood. The scalp was so thoroughly massaged that 
the blood vessels were dilated; the hair roots picked up the 
necessary nutrition and the hair grew, as you can plainly see. “Even though you may not care to become mystics at this 
time, you can throw many years off your mind, your attitude, 
and feelings. So start at once. Any effort you put forth will be 
rewarded, I can assure you. I have given you nothing but 
simple Rites and practices because the simple things will bring 
you health, youth, virility, and success when nothing else will. “It has been a most thrilling thing to see you men change 
and improve from day to day,” concluded the Colonel, “but now 
you know all there is need for you to know for the present. When you are ready for more information, the teacher will ap- 
pear. There are others who need this information much more 
than you gentlemen did and I must be on my way to them.” 
Of course, we were sorry to see our friend the Colonel 
depart. But we were glad and thankful for the priceless infor- 
mation he had given us. The thought that the Colonel was soon 
to help other men like ourselves find “The Fountain of Youth,” 
“The Philosopher's Stone,” “The Elixir of Life,” thrilled us. Truly, I thought to myself, THE EYE OF REVELATION is 
upon the world. —32—

“THE EYE OF REVELATION. ” is truly a revelation. It re- 
veals to you information which has been known and used by men 
in far-distant lands for more than 25 centuries, but which is now 
available to you for the first time. Information which has been 
thoroughly tried and tested and which has been proven beyond a 
doubt to be the greatest gift ever bestowed on man in this material 
plane of existence. Information that will stem the tide of pre- 
mature old age with its attendant weaknesses and senility. This is the information for which Ponce de Leon, and thou- 
sands of others down through the ages, would have given all they 
possessed: for with such information they quickly could have re- 
gained all that they had paid and more. “THE EYE OF REVELATION” produces remarkable mental 
and physical rejuvenation within a month. So much so, in fact. that one gains new hope and enthusiasm with which to carry on. However, the greatest results come after the tenth week. When 
you stop to consider that the average man has endured his afflic- 
tions from 30 to 50 years, to obtain such amazing results in such a 
short time as ten weeks sounds almost miraculous. There is positively no limit to the improvement and progress 
one can make with this information. As long as you live and prac- 
tice "THE EYE OF REVELATION” you will get more gratify- 
results. Not only will they be manifested in the material, but 
if the fortunate individual so desires he may improve his mental 
world as well as all the other worlds to which man is heir. MOST IMPORTANT: The information given in “THE 
EYE OF REVELATION” was, for twenty-five centuries, con- 
fined strictiy to men, Now, to the surprise and delight of all 
concerned, it has been found that women, too; get equally beneficial 
and amazing results. Now, after this long period of waiting every 
adult, man or woman, can go on to grand and glorious things. regardless of age, environment, or circumstances. Get started at once on the marvelous work of REJUVENA- 
TION. TRANSMUTATION, and YOUTHIFICATION. May 
success. health, energy, power, vigor, virility, and LIFE follow 
your footsteps forever. THE PUBLISHERS. THE EYE OF REVELATION —By—

PART ONE 
One afternoon I dropped into the Travelers Club to escape 
a sudden shower, and while seated in an easy chair waiting for 
it to clear up I fell into a conversation with a most interesting 
old gentleman; one who, although I did not know it then, was 
destined to change the whole course of my life. I call him an 
old man for that is exactly what he was. In his late sixties, 
he looked every year his age. He was thin and stooped, and 
when he walked leaned heavily on his cane. It developed that he was a retired British army officer, 
who had likewise seen service in the diplomatic corps of the 
Crown. There were few accessible places on the globe to which 
Colonel Bradford, as I shall call him, although that was not his 
true name, had not, at some time or other in his life, paid a 
visit, and warming under my attention he related incidents in 
his travels which were highly entertaining. Needless to say I 
spent an interesting and profitable afternoon listening to him. This was some years ago. We met often after that and got 
along famously. Many evenings, either at his quarters or at 
mine, we discussed and discoursed until long past midnight. It was on one of these occasions 1 became possessed of a 
feeling that Colonel Bradford wanted to tell me something of 
importance. Something close to his heart which was difficult 
for him to talk about. By using all the tact and diplomacy at 
my command I succeeded in making him understand that I 
should be happy to help him in any way possible, and that if he 
cared to tell me what was on his mind I would keep it in strict 
confidence. Slowly at first, and then with increased trust 
he began to talk. While stationed in India some years ago, Colonel Bradford, 
from time to time, came in contact with wandering natives 
from the remote fastnesses of the country. He heard many 
interesting tales of the life and customs of the country. One 
story, which interested him strangely, he heard quite a number 
of times, and always from natives who inhabited a particular 
—3—district. Those from the other districts seemed never to have 
heard it. It concerned a group of Lamas or Tibetan priests who, 
apparently, had discovered “The Fountain of Youth. ” The 
natives told of old men who had mysteriously regained health 
and strength, vigor and virility shortly after entering a certain 
Lamasery; but where this particular place was none seemed 
exactly to know. Like so many other men, Colonel Bradford had become old 
at 40, and had not been getting any younger as the years 
rolled by. Now the more he heard this tale of “The Fountain 
of Youth” the more he became convinced that such a place and 
such men actually existed. He began to gather information 
on directions, character of the country, climate, and various 
other tid-bits that might help him locate the spot; for from 
then on there dwelt in the back of his mind a desire to find 
this “Fountain of Youth. ” 
This desire, he told me, had now grown so powerful that he 
had determined to return to India and start in earnest a quest 
for the retreat of these young-old men; and he wanted me to 
go with him. Frankly, by the time he had finished telling me 
this fantastic story I, too, was convinced of its truth, and was 
half-tempted to join him, but finally decided against it. Soon he departed, and I consoled myself for not going with 
the thought that perhaps one should be satisfied to grow old 
gracefully; that perhaps the Colonel was wrong in trying to 
get more out of life than was vouchsafed to other men. And 
yet—a Fountain of Youth. What a thrilling idea it was. For 
his own sake I hoped that the old Colonel might find it. Months passed. In the press of every-day affairs Colonel 
Bradford and his “Shangri-La” had grown dim in my memory, 
when one evening on returning to my apartment, there was a 
letter in the Colonel’s own hand-writing. He was still alive. The letter seemed to have been written in joyous desperation. In it he said that in spite of maddening delays and set-backs 
he actually was on the verge of finding the “Fountain. ” He 
gave no address. It was more months before I heard from him again. This 
time he had good news. He had found the “Fountain of 
Youth”. Not only that but he was bringing it back to the 
States with him, and would arrive within the next two months. Practically four years had elapsed since I had last seen the old 
man. Would he have changed any, I wondered. He was older,of course, but perhaps no balder, although his stoop might 
have increased a little. Then the startling idea came to me 
that perhaps this “Fountain of Youth’ might really have 
helped him. But in my mind’s eye I could not picture him dif- 
ferently than ] had seen him last, except perhaps a little older. One evening I decided to stay at home by myself and catch 
up on my reading, maybe write a few letters. I had just set- 
tled down to comfortable reading when the telephone rang. “A Colonel Bradford to see you, sir,” said the desk clerk. “Send him up,” I shouted, and casting the book aside I 
hastened to the door. For a moment I stared, and then with 
dismay I saw that this was not Colonel Bradford but a much 
younger person. Noting my surprise the man said, “Weren’t you expecting 
me. ” 
“No,” I confessed. “I thought it would be an old friend of 
mine, a Colonel Bradford. ” 
“I came to see you about Colonel Bradford, the man you 
were expecting,” he answered. “Come in,” I invited. “Allow me to introduce myself,” said the stranger, entering. “My name is Bradford. ” 
“Oh, you are Colonel Bradford's son,” I exclaimed. “I have 
often heard him speak of you. You resemble him somewhat. ” 
“No, I am not my son,” he returned. “I am none other than 
your old friend, Colonel Bradford, the old man who went away 
to the Himalayas. ” 
1 stood in incredulous amazement at his statement. Then it 
slowly dawned upon me that this really was the Colonel Brad- 
ford whom I had known; but what a change had taken place 
in his appearance. Instead of the stooped, limping, sallow old 
gentleman with a cane, he was a tall, straight, ruddy-com- 
plexioned man in the prime of life. Even his hair, which had 
grown back, held no trace of gray. My enthusiasm and curiosity knew no bounds. Soon I was 
plying him with questions in rapid-fire order until he threw up 
his hands. “Wait, wait,” he protested, laughingly. “I shall start at the 
beginning and tell you al] that has happened. ” And this he 
proceeded to do. Upon arriving in India the Colonel started directly for the 
district in which lived the natives who had told of “The 
Fountain of Youth. ” Fortunately, he knew quite a bit of their 
—s5—language. He spent several months there, making friends 
with the people and picking up all the information he could 
about the Lamasery he sought. It was a long, slow process, 
but his shrewdness and persistence finally brought him to the 
coveted place he had heard about so often but only half- 
believed existed. Colonel Bradford’s account of what transpired after being 
admitted to the Lamasery sounded like a fairy tale. I only 
wish that time and space permitted me to set down here all of 
his experiences; the interesting practices of the Lamas, their 
culture, and their utter indifference to the work-a-day world. There were no real old men there. To his surprise the Lamas 
considered Colonel Bradford a quite novel sight, for it had been 
a long time since they had seen anyone who looked as old as he. The Lamas good-naturedly referred to the Colonel as “The 
Ancient One. ” 
“For the first two weeks after I arrived,” said the Colonel, “I 
was like a fish out of water. I marveled at everything I saw, 
and at times could hardly believe what my eyes beheld. I soon 
felt much better, was sleeping like a top every night, and only 
used my cane when hiking in the mountains. “A month after I arrived I received the biggest surprise of 
my life. In fact, I was quite startled. It was the day I entered 
for the first time, a large, well-ordered room which was used 
as a kind of library for ancient manuscripts. At one end of 
the room was a full-length mirror. It had been over two years 
since I had last seen my reflection so with great curiosity I 
stepped in front of the glass. “] stared in amazement, so changed was my appearance. It 
seemed that J had dropped 15 years from my age. It was my 
first intimation that I was growing younger; but from then on 
I changed so rapidly that it was apparent to all who knew me. Soon the honorary title of “The Ancient One” was heard no 
more. ” 
A knock at the door interrupted the Colonel. I opened it to 
admit a couple of friends from out of town who had picked this 
most inauspicious time to spend a sociable evening with me. 1 hid my disappointment and chagrin as best I could and intro- 
duced them to Colonel Bradford. We all chatted together for a 
while and then the Colonel said, rising: 
“I am sorry that I must leave so early, but I have an appoint- 
ment with an old friend who is leaving the city tonight. 1 hope 
I shall see you all again shortly. ” 
—6—At the door he turned to me and said, softly, 
“Could you have lunch with me tomorrow. I promise, if 
you can do so you shall hear all about ‘The Fountain of 
Youth. ’” 
We agreed as to the time and place to meet and the Colonel 
departed. As I returned to the living room, one of my friends 
remarked, 
“That is certainly a most interesting man, but he looks 
awfully young to be retired from army service. ” 
“How old do you suppose he is. ” I asked. “Well, he doesn’t look forty,” answered my friend, “but from 
the experiences he has had I suppose he must be that old. ” 
“Yes, he’s all of that,” I said evasively, and deftly turned 
the conversation into another channel. I thought it best to 
arouse no wonderment regarding the Colonel until I knew what 
his plans were. The next day, after having lunch together, we repaired to 
the Colonel’s room in a nearby hotel, and there at last he told 
me about “The Fountain of Youth. ” 
“The first important thing I was taught after entering the 
Lamasery,” he began, “was this. The body has seven centers, 
which, in English, could be called Vortexes. These are kind of 
magnetic centers. They revolve at great speed in the healthy 
body, but when slowed down—well that is just another name 
for old age, ill-health, and senility. There are two of these 
Vortexes in the brain; one at the base of the throat; another 
in the right side of the body in the region of the liver; one in 
the sexual center; and one in each knee. “These spinning centers of activity extend beyond the flesh 
in the healthy individual, but in the old, weak, senile person 
they hardly reach the surface, except in the knees. The 
quickest way to regain health, youth, and vitality is to start 
these magnetic centers spinning again. There are but five 
practices that will do this. Any one of them will be helpful, but 
all five are required to get glowing results. These five exercises 
are really not exercises at all, in the physical culture sense. The Lamas think of them as ‘Rites,’ and so instead of calling 
them exercises or practices, we too, shall call them Rites. ”  
  
  Rite No. | 
There are SEVEN Psychic Vortexes in the body. Vortex is located 
within the forehead; Vortex “B” is located in the posterior part of the 
brain; Vortex “C" is in the region of the throat at the base of the neck; 
Vortex “D" is located in the right side of the body above the waist line; 
Vortex “E” is located in the reproductive anatomy, and it is directly con- 
nected with Vortex “C” in the throat. Vortexes 
one in either knee. These Psychic Vortexes revolve at great speed. When all are revolving 
at high speed and at the same rate of speed the body is in perfect health. When one or more of them slow down, old age, loss of power, and senil- ity wet in, 
   RITE NUMBER ONE 
“The first Rite,” continued the Colonel, “is a simple one. It 
is for the express purpose of speeding up the Vortexes. When 
we were children we used it in our play. It is this: Stand erect 
with arms outstretched, horizontal with the shoulders. Now 
spin around until you become slightly dizzy. There is only one 
caution: you must turn from left to right. In other words, if 
you were to place a clock or watch on the floor face up, you 
would turn in the same way the hands are moving. “At first the average adult will only be able to spin around 
about a half-dozen times until he becomes dizzy enough to 
want to sit or lie down. That is just what he should do, too. That’s what I did. To begin with, practice this Rite only to the 
point of slight dizziness. As time passes and your Vortexes 
become more rapid in movement through this and other Rites, 
you will be able to practice it to a greater extent. “When I was in India it amazed me to see the Maulawiyah, 
or as they are more commonly known, the Whirling Dervishes, 
almost unceasingly spin around and around in a religious 
frenzy. Rite Number One recalled to my attention two things 
in connection with this practice. The first was that these 
Whirling Dervishes always spun in one direction—from left to 
right, clockwise. The second was the virility of the old men; 
they were strong, hearty, and robust. Far more so than most 
men of their age. “When I spoke to one of the Lamas about this he informed 
me that while this whirling movement of the Dervishes did 
have a very beneficial effect, yet it also had a devastating one. It seems that a long siege of whirling stimulates into great 
activity Vortexes ‘A,’ ‘B,’ and ‘E. ’ These three have a stim- 
ulating effect on the other two— ‘C’ and ‘D. ’ But due to 
excessive leg action the Vortexes in the knees—'E’ and ‘G’— 
are over-stimulated and finally so exhausted that the building 
up of the Vital Forces along with this tearing down causes the 
participants to experience a kind of ‘psychic jag’ which they 
mistake for something spiritual, or at least religious. “However,” continued the Colonel, “we do not carry the 
whirling exercise to excess. While the Whirling Dervishes may 
spin around hundreds of times, we find that greater benefit is 
obtained by restricting it to about a dozen or so times, enough 
so that Rite Number One can stimulate all the Vortexes to 
action. ”  
  
  
  Rite No. 2 
    
—10—RITE NUMBER TWO 
“Like Rite Number One,” continued the Colonel, “this second 
one is for further stimulating to action the Seven Vortexes. It is even simpler than the first one. In Rite Number Two one 
first lies flat on his back on the floor or on the bed. If prac- 
ticed on the floor one should use a rug or blanket under him, 
folded several times in order that the body will not come into 
contact with the cold floor. The Lamas have what might be 
called in English a ‘prayer rug. ’ It is about two feet wide and 
fully six feet long. It is fairly thick and is made from wool and 
akind of vegetable fibre. It is solely for the purpose of insula- 
tion, and so has no other value. Nevertheless, to the Lamas 
everything is of a religious nature, hence their name for these 
mats—‘prayer rugs. ’ 
“As I said, one should lie full length on his ‘prayer rug,’ or 
bed. Then place the hands flat down alongside the hips. Fingers should be kept close together with the finger-tips of 
each hand turned slightly toward one another. The feet are 
then raised until the legs are straight up. If possible, let the 
feet extend back a bit over the body, toward the head; but do 
not Jet the knees bend. Then, slowly lower the feet to the floor 
and for a moment allow all muscles to relax. Then perform this 
Rite all over again. “One of the Lamas told me that when he first attempted to 
practice this simple Rite he was so old, weak, and decrepit that 
he couldn’t possibly lift up both legs. Therefore he started out 
by lifting the thighs until the knees were straight up, letting 
the feet hang down. Little by little, however, he was able to 
straighten out his legs until at the end of three months he 
could raise them straight with perfect ease. “T marveled at this particular Lama,” said the Colonel, 
“when he told me this. He was then a perfect picture of health 
and youth, although I knew he was many years older than I. For the sheer joy of exerting himself he used to carry a pack 
of vegetables weighing fully a hundred pounds on his back, 
from the garden to the Lamasery, several hundred feet above. He took his time but never stopped once on the way up, and 
when he would arrive he didn’t seem to be experiencing the 
slightest bit of fatigue. I marveled greatly at this, for the 
first time 1 started up with him, I had to stop at least a dozen 
times. Later I was able to do it easily without my cane and 
with never a stop, but that is another story. ” 
—u—      
Rite No. 3 
    —n—RITE NUMBER THREE 
“The third Rite should be practiced immediately after prac- 
ticing Rite Number Two. It, too, is a very simple one. All one 
needs to do is to kneel on his ‘prayer rug,’ place his hands on 
his thighs, and lean forward as far as possible with the head 
inclined so that the chin rests on the chest. Now lean back- 
ward as far as possible; at the same time the head should be 
lifted and thrown back as far as it will go. Then bring the 
head up along with the body. Lean forward again and start 
the rite all over. This Rite is very effective in speeding up 
Vortexes ‘E,’ ‘D,’ and ‘C’; especially ‘E. ’ 
“I have seen more than 200 Lamas perform this Rite to- 
gether. In order to turn their attention within, they closed 
their eyes. In this way they would not become confused by 
what others were doing and thus have their attention diverted. “The Lamas, more than two and a half millenniums ago, dis- 
covered that all good things come from within. They discovered 
that every worthwhile thing must have its origin within the 
individual. This is something that the Occidental has never 
been able to understand and comprehend. He thinks, as | did, 
that all worthwhile things must come from the outside world. “The Lamas, especially those at this particular Lamasery, 
are performing a great work for the world. It is performed, 
however, on the astral plane. This plane, from which they 
assist mankind in all quarters of the globe, is high enough 
above the vibrations of the world to be a powerful focal point 
where much can be accomplished with little loss of effort. “Some day the world will awaken in amazement to what the 
unseen forces—the Forces of Good—have been doing for the 
masses. We who take ourselves in hand and make new crea- 
tures of ourselves in every imaginable way, each is doing a 
marvelous work for mankind everywhere. Already the efforts 
of these advanced individuals are being welded together into 
One Irresistible Power. A new day is dawning for the world— 
it is already here. But it is only through individuals like the 
Lamas, and you and me that the world can possibly be helped. “Most of mankind, and that includes those in the most en- 
lightened countries, like America and England, is still in the 
darkest of the Dark Ages. However, they are being prepared 
for better and more glorious things, and as fast as they can be 
initiated into the higher life, just that fast will the world be 
made a better place in which to live. ” 
—B—  
  
  Rite No. 4 
    
—4—RITE NUMBER FOUR 
“Now for Rite Number Four,” said the Colonel. ‘The first 
time I tried this it seemed very difficult, but after a week it 
was as simple to do as any of the others. “Sit on the ‘prayer rug’ with the feet stretched out in front. Then place the hands alongside the body. Now raise the body 
and bend the knees so that the legs, from the knees down, are 
practically straight up and down. The arms, too, will be 
straight up and down while the body, from the shoulders to the 
knees, will be horizontal. Before pushing the body to a hor- 
izontal position the chin should be well down on the chest. Then, as the body is raised the head should be allowed to drop 
gently backward as far as it will go. Next, return to a sitting 
position and relax for a moment before repeating the proced- 
ure. When the body is pressed up to the complete horizontal 
position tense every muscle in the body. This will have a 
tendency to stimulate Vortexes ‘F,’ ‘G,’ ‘E,’ ‘D’ and ‘C. ’ 
“After leaving the Lamasery,” continued Colonel Bradford, 
“I went to a number of the larger cities in India, and as an 
experiment conducted classes for both English people and 
natives. I found that the older members of either felt that 
unless they could perform a Rite perfectly, right from the 
beginning, they believed no good could come from it. I had 
considerable difficulty in convincing them that they were 
wrong. Finally I persuaded them to do the best they could and 
see just what happened in a month’s time. After a good deal 
of persuasion I was able to get them to do their best, and the 
results in a month’s time were more than gratifying. “T remember in one city I had quite a number of old people 
in one of my classes. With this particular Rite—Number Four 
—they could just barely get their bodies off the floor; they 
couldn’t get it anywhere near a horizontal position. In the 
same class were several much younger persons who had no 
difficulty in performing the Rite perfectly from the very start. This so discouraged the older people that I had to ask the 
younger ones to refrain from practicing it before their older 
class-mates. I explained that I could not do it at first, either; 
that I couldn’t do a bit better than any of them; but that I 
could perform the Rite 50 times in succession now without 
feeling the slightest strain on nerves or muscles; and in order 
to convince them, I did it right before their eyes. From then 
on the class broke all records for results accomplished. —15—  
  
  
  Rite No. 5 
    
—16—RITE NUMBER FIVE 
“The best way to perform this Rite is to place the hands on 
the floor about two feet apart. Then, with the legs stretched 
out to the rear with the feet also about two feet apart, push 
the body, and especially the hips, up as far as possible, rising 
on the toes and hands. At the same time the head should be 
brought so far down that the chin comes up against the chest. “Next, allow the body to come slowly down to a ‘sagging’ 
position. Bring the head up, causing it to be drawn as far 
back as possible. “After a few weeks, that is after you become quite pro- 
ficient in this movement, let the body drop from its highest 
position to a point almost but not quite touching the floor. The 
muscles should be tensed for a moment when the body is at 
the highest point, and again at the lowest point. Before the 
end of the first week this particular Rite will be one of the 
easiest ones to perform for the average person. “Everywhere I go,” went on the Colonel, “ folks, at first, call 
these Rites physical culture exercises. I would like to make it 
clearly understood that these are not physical culture exer- 
cises at all. They are only performed a few times a day; so 
few times that they could not possibly be of any value as 
physical culture movements. What the Rites actually do is 
this: They start the seven Vortexes spinning at a normal rate 
of speed; at the speed which is normal for, say, a young, strong, 
robust, virile man of twenty-five years of age. “Now in such a person the Vortexes are all spinning nor- 
mally at the same rate of speed. On the other hand, if you 
could view the seven Vortexes of the average middle-aged man 
—weak, unhealthy, and semi-virile, as he is—you would notice 
at once that some of the Vortexes had greatly slowed down in 
their spinning movement; and worse still, all were spinning at 
a different rate of speed—none of them working together in 
harmony. The slower ones allowed that part of the body which 
they govern to degenerate, deteriorate, and become diseased. The faster ones, spinning at a much greater speed would have 
caused nervousness and nerve exhaustion. All of them making 
the individual anything but a real man. “The only difference between youth and virility, and old age 
and senility, is simply the difference in the rate of speed at 
which the Vortexes are spinning. Normalize the different 
speeds, and the old man becomes a new man again. ” 
—7—Further Information   
When the Colonel had finished his description of the Five 
Rites I said to him, 
“Let me ask you some questions now. ” 
“Very well,” he replied. “That is just what I want you to do. ” 
“I feel that from your description I understand the Rites 
quite well,” I began, “but when and how often are they to be 
employed. ” 
“They can be used either night and morning,” answered the 
Colonel, “in the morning only, or just at night, if it is more 
convenient. I use them both morning and night, but I would 
not advise so much stimulation for the beginner until he has 
practiced them for about four months. At the start he could 
use them the full number of times in the morning, and then in 
the evening he could gradually build up until finally he is doing 
the same amount of practice as in the morning. ” 
“Just how many times a day should a man use these Rites. " was my next question. “To start with,” said he, “I would suggest you practice each 
Rite three times a day for the first week. Then increase them 
by two a day each week until you are doing 21 a day; which 
will be at the beginning of the 10th week. If you cannot prac- 
tice Rite Number One, the whirling one, the same number of 
times as the others, then do it only as many times as you can 
without getting too dizzy. The time will come, however, when 
you can practice it the full number of 21 times. “T knew of one man who required more than a year before he 
could do it that many times. But he performed the other four 
without difficulty, gradually increasing the number until he 
was doing the full 21 on all four. He got very splendid results. “Under certain conditions,” added the Colonel, “there are 
some who find it difficult to perform Rite Number One at all, 
to begin with. But after having done the other four for about 
six months they are amazed at how easy it is to do Number 
One. Likewise with the other Rites. If for any reason one or 
more of them cannot be used, do not be discouraged; use what 
you can. Results, in that case, will be a little slower, but that 
is the only handicap. “If one has been recently operated on for, say, appendicitis, 
or is afflicted with hernia, he should be very cautious in prac- 
ticing Rites Number Two and Five. If one is very heavy, he 
—18—should be cautious in the use of Number Five until his weight 
has been greatly reduced. “All five of the Rites are of importance. Even though he 
may not be able to perform them the prescribed number of 
times the individual may rest assured that just a few times 
each day will be of benefit. “If, at the end of the fourth week, one finds that he cannot 
perform every one of the Rites the required number of times 
he should note carefully the ones which he is forced to slight. Then, if he is performing the Five Rites in the morning he 
should try to make up the deficiency in the evening. Or if he 
is performing the Rites in the evening he should endeavor to 
find time in the morning to catch up. In either event he should 
not neglect the other Rites, and above all he should never strain 
himself. If he goes about performing the Rites in an easy, 
interesting manner it will not be long before he finds every- 
thing working out satisfactorily, and that he is doing the Rites 
the required 21 times a day. “Some people, acting on their own initiative, invent little 
aids for their practices. An old fellow in India found it im- 
possible for him to perform Rite Number Four properly even 
once. He wouldn't be satisfied with just getting his body off 
the floor; he was determined that it should reach a horizontal 
position as the Rite prescribed. So he got a box about ten. inches high and two and a half feet long. Upon this he put 
some bedding folded to the right size, and across this padded 
box he lay flat on his back. Then, with his feet on the floor 
at one end and his hands on the floor at the other he found it 
quite simple to raise his body to a horizontal position. “Now while this little ‘stunt’ may not in itself have helped 
the old gentleman in performing the Rite the full 21 times, 
still the psychological effect of being able to raise his body as 
high as the much stronger men was undoubtedly quite stimu- 
lating and may have been quite beneficial. I do not particularly 
recommend this old man’s aid, although it may help those who 
think it impossible to make progress in any other way; but if 
you have an inventive mind you will think of ways and means 
to help you in performing the more difficult Rites. “These Rites are so powerful that if one were left out en- 
tirely while the other four were practiced regularly the full 
number of times, only the finest kind of results would be 
experienced. Only one Rite alone will do wonders, as evidenced 
by the Whirling Dervishes of whom we spoke. Had they spun 
—19—around only a limited number of times, they would have found 
themselves greatly benefitted, although they may not have 
attributed their improved condition to the whirling. The fact 
that they whirled from left to right and that the old men, who 
no doubt whirled around less than the younger ones, were 
virile and strong is ample proof that just one Rite will have 
powerful effects. So if any one finds that they simply cannot 
perform all five of these practices or that they cannot perform 
them all the full number of times, they may still know that 
good results will be experienced from what they are able to do. ” 
“Does anything else go with these Five Rites.
