C. W. Leadbeater (February 16, 1854 Stockport, Cheshire, England - March 1, 1934 Perth, Western Australia), was an English clergyman, author, clairvoyant, and an early member of the Theosophical Society. His interest in occultism was stimulated by A.P. Sinnett's book, "Occult World", and he joined the Theosophical Society in 1883. The next year he met Helena Petrovna Blavatsky when she came to London. "When she accepted him [as a pupil], he gave up the church, became a vegetarian, severed all ties with England, and followed her to India." At this time he was the recipient of a few Mahatma letters which influenced him to go to India, where he arrived at Adyar in 1884. In India he wrote that he had received visits and training from some of Blavatsky's Masters. This was the start of a long career in the Theosophical Society.

NOTE: Leadbeater's date of birth of February 16, 1854 was given in the English census of 1861, 1871 and 1881. After his mother died, in May 1882, his date of birth was given as 17 February 1847 and it appears in the 1891 census. This was also the date he used in his passport. His reason for using a different date of birth is not known, although research about it continues.

I can't rate this book. I found out about it while reading another book about mistaken element discoveries and it referenced the idea of occult chemistry. So I picked this one up to see what it was about.

Interesting from a history of science/chemistry perspective for me; but, most of it was unreadable. I read the preface and part 1, then skimmed the book until I got to the appendix and then read it (sort of).

A note on this book. It was first published in 1919 so the copyright has expired. You'll find any number of different isbns for it because different people do a print-on-demand of books like this one. The quality can vary depending on how the reproduce it.… (mais)

Os textos do autor são sempre um bálsamo para quem se interessa pelos temas espirituais. Diferentemente de outras abordagens, a Teosofia traz uma aragem mental a assuntos que facilmente poderiam ser tratados com sentimentalismos e um excesso de energia emocional, que certamente afastariam os amantes do conhecimento sobre a vida invisível, coisa que tanta falta faz nesses últimos séculos de materialismo crasso.
