Lama Anagarika Govinda was born Ernst Lothar Hoffman in Waldheim, Germany (old kingdom of Saxony) in 1898, the son of a German father and a Bolivian mother.
In 1931 Govinda attended a Buddhist conference in Darjeeling, intending to affirm the purity of the Theravadin tradition against the Mahayana, which in his view, had degenerated into "a system of demon-worship and weird beliefs." He little realized that the trip was to alter his life.

The lama then goes on to make a second poetic comment about the potentialities of the nervous system, the complexity of the human cortical computer.
It is much more astonishing that not everybody remembers his or her previous death; and, because of this lack of remembering, most persons do not believe there was a previous death.
But the time has come to break the seals of silence; for the human race has come to the juncture where it must decide whether to be content with the subjugation of the material world, or to strive after the conquest of the spiritual world, by subjugating selfish desires and transcending self-imposed limitations.

 Swans Commentary: Letters to the Editor - letter48
I have heard distinguished teachers such as Lama Anagarika Govinda, my first Tibetan-trained teacher who came through Ceylonese Therevadan schools, make similar statements in supporting the widely held allegation that Gautama Buddha asked his people personally to check his teachings rather than take them on faith.
As there is no god, per se, in Buddhism, there is also little need for abject faith or reliance on teachers or teachings which strain the heart or demand allegiance for its own sake.
Lama Govinda always warned that a choice to step on a Buddhist path is irrevocable, that is, be very sure and very open to whatever comes as it comes.

The integration of lower states of consciousness into higher states is described by Lama Anagarika Govinda in his study of multi-dimensional consciousness and creative meditation:
Therefore the criterion of the consciousness or cognition of a higher dimension consists in the coordinated and simultaneous perception of several directions of movement within a wider unity, without destroying those individual features which had characterized the lower dimensions thus integrated.
