Adherents of theosophy, the esoteric philosophy popular at the turn
of the 20th century, believed that science and religion could be
reconciled, and here, in this 1920 book, the renowned spiritualist
Charles W. Leadbeater, a leader of theosophical thought, examines
the Catholic Mass from a theosophical perspective, demonstrating
how the rites and rituals of the Eucharist, Baptism, Holy Orders,
and the other sacraments harness a mystical magic that unites
worshippers in one divine spirit. Drawing on both traditional
spiritual belief about the power at work during the Mass and modern
concepts of a paranormal connection between the corporeal and the
otherworldly, this is a work that will intrigue those of great
faith as well as students of comparative mythology. 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.
First released in 1901, Thought-Forms was an in-depth exploration
on the visual manifestations of thoughts and the notion that they
exist as objects. Conceived by renowned theosophists Annie Besant
and C.W. Leadbeater, the book consists of 58 illustrations based on
Besant and Leadbeater's clairvoyant observations on how music,
emotions, experiences, and colors affect thought forms. Expanding
beyond its original readership, the book would have great influence
on twentieth-century art and go on to inspire many artists
including Wassily Kandinsky, Hilma af Klint, Piet Mondrian, and
Paul Klee. This updated edition features a new introduction by
famed occult author, Mitch Horowitz.
Charles Webster Leadbeater (1854-1934), ordained an Anglican priest
in 1879, developed interests in spiritualism and occultism (then
highly fashionable), and by the mid-1880s was a leading figure in
the recently-founded Theosophical Society. He travelled to India,
North America and eventually Australia on the Society's business,
his influence only temporarily dented by a furore in 1906-8
involving allegations of child abuse. Leadbeater believed he was
clairvoyant, and his many writings include this book, first
published in 1899 and reissued here in a fifth edition marking the
Theosophical Society's Diamond Jubilee in 1935. Leadbeater
primarily addresses readers convinced of the existence of
clairvoyance and familiar with theosophical terms. He argues that
the 'power to see what is hidden from ordinary physical sight' is
an extension of normal perception, and describes a wide range of
phenomena including intentional and unintentional clairvoyance,
premonitions, telepathy, and 'seeing' the past and the future.
