Neville Spearman, 1979, Hardback in dust wrapper.
Illustrated by way of: Black and White Photographs;
From the cover: The letters of Wellesley Tudor Pole, founder of the Big Ben Silent Minute, of the Chalice Well Trust, author of The Silent Road, A Man Seen Afar, Writing on the Ground etc. , to Rosamond Lehmann, the well-known novelist.
Rosamond Lehmann writes: I was privileged to be his friend, confidante and collaborator during the last six years of his life. He wrote to me never less than twice a week. Apart from their liveliness, humour and affection, the letters reveal a wealth of teaching on deeply serious metaphysical and spiritual matters sometimes startlingly unorthodox and, no doubt, controversial. I feel that the time has come to share with others what he entrusted to me of the truth and meaning of a portion of his earthly mission. 1 do this in fulfilment of a promise made to him before his death.
Who was the man known to his many friends as TP? I dont know: no one, presumably, will ever know, except for certain fellow-initiates and Elder Brothers. Obviously he was a Master: an incomparable Seer, infinitely adept in out-of-the-body travelling; also an ordinary man with wide business interests, an Intelligence officer in World War I, lover of animals and of trees; a man with a practical interest in archaeological research and a surprising grasp of alchemy and ecology. He warned repeatedly of the threats of planetary pollution many years before this became the subject of general concern. In short, a man of formidable authority, as enigmatic as he was accessible.
In one letter he writes: I am only a visitor to this particular planet not one of its regular denizens. And again: I come and go when commanded so to do I am a modest and anonymous ambassador from elsewhere.
