My principle purpose in republishing the 1946 edition of theEye of Revelationwas to preserve it
for history. That goal, if not achieved, has at least been greatly advanced:
After two years, sales of my reprint edition, while not spectacular, remainsteady. It was brieflya top tenbest seller of Booklocker.com's ebooks.
Sales of the scans of the 1939 and 1946 editions, while less thanspectacular, remain steady,also.
So, it is likely that both the 1939 and the 1946 editions will not be lost in the next 20 years or
so. More, however, remains to be done.
No one is more surprised than I that research into the "back story" of the Five Rites has proved
so fruitful. And there is promise that more "fruit" will fall from the tree. Just knowing the
history of the Five Rites will help preserve them. It will make folks want to preserve them.
Ultimately, my hope is that the medical profession will research the Rites and document just
how effective they are.
