An Answer To An Attack Upon Theosophy, The Theosophical Society And Some Of Its Leaders, Written And Endorsed By The Bishop Of Madras And Seven Missionaries.

According to esoteric teachings we have an energy body of lighter, less dense material that is connected to our physical bodies. Those who can see it call it the aura and can sometimes tell the state of a person's health by the way it appears. Those who use its energy refer to the force as prana, chi, vital force, orgone or a number of other names. There are seven chakras, or energy points, where this energy collects in the etheric body. Working with the chakras and these spiritual energies can play a big part in the psychic development and enlightenment of those sensitive enough to work on these levels. This book shows you how. Subjects include a chapter on each chakra center; also Prana or Vitality, Force-Centres, Kundalini, Healing, Mediumship, Birth, Death, Mesmerism, Magnetisation of Objects, Ectoplasm, and more.

The writer attempts to supply a clear and simple study of the principal teachings - as he understands them- of the portion of the body of ancient knowledge now called theosophy, which particularly relates to man, and which will be neither too vague nor too difficult for the beginner.

A second, wiser self guides us through life. Without it we would not go far, for it is what makes us human. In the first years of life -- before memory and ego -- it guides us to stand upright and to learn to speak and think. Then we exchange this wisdom, which is still connected to the spiritual hierarchies, for our ego-consciousness. Yet it remains ever-present, and through meditation we can consciously connect to it.

How does the story of Christianity and the tenets of the faith fit into the grand scheme of transcultural spirituality? In this inspiring book, first published in 1904, the renowned spiritualist Charles W. Leadbeater places Christianity into the larger context of human religious experience-with a specific eye toward demonstrating how adherents of theosophy, the esoteric philosophy popular at the turn of the 20th century that attempted to reconcile science and religion, could maintain their Christian faith. Seekers after spiritual wisdom and students of comparative mythology will find this a fascinating read. British author CHARLES WEBSTER LEADBEATER (1854-1934) was ordained as an Anglican priest, but later joined the prominent Theosophical Society and traveled to India to study alternative spiritual and occult practices, eventually settling into his life as a clairvoyant and author. His other works include Man Visible and Invisible and The Science of the Sacrament.
