Man Visible and Invisible
About this eBook
In religious art, the nimbus of glory is very often depicted about the heads of saints or holy figures.
—If there actually are such colored phenomena, what is their purpose?
—How constant are the colors of your aura?
—What happens to it when you have a sudden outburst of devotion? Of anger? Of fear?
In Man Invisible and Visible, the clairvoyant, author, and renowned Theosophist, Charles W. Leadbeater, shares his vision of humankind as a spark of the Divine, not merely physical creatures, as shown by the auras we project at different stages of emotional and spiritual growth.
This esoteric classic examines the invisible bodies of humans, showing how the colors of the aura change with different emotional states.
Charles W. Leadbeater is recognised as one of the greatest clairvoyants of this century. He was the author of The Chakras, still one of the most “in-demand” books on an occult subject. With fellow clairvoyant Annie Besant, he co-authored the famous book Thought Forms (1901). Leadbeater was one of the most respected researchers on such subjects because he took extraordinary pains to authenticate the results of his investigations.
About the author
Charles Webster Leadbeater (1854-1934) was a member of the Theosophical Society, author on occult subjects and co-initiator with J. I. Wedgwood of the Liberal Catholic Church. Originally a priest of the Church of England, his interest in spiritualism caused him to end his affiliation with Anglicanism in favour of the Theosophical Society, where he became an associate of Annie Besant. He became a high-ranking officer of the Society and remained one of its leading members until his death in 1934 at age 80. Between 1895 and his death in 1934, Leadbeater wrote over 69 books and pamphlets, became one of the best known speakers of the Theosophical Society, and served as Secretary of the London Lodge. Leadbeater remains well-known and influential in New Age circles for his many works based on his clairvoyant investigations of life, including such books as Outline of Theosophy, Astral Plane, Devachanic Plane, and The Chakras, and Man Visible and Invisible, dealing with, respectively, the basic principles of theosophy, the two higher worlds humanity passes through after “death”, the chakra system, and the human aura. His writings on the sacraments and Christian esotericism remain popular, with a constant stream of new editions and translations of his magnum opus The Science of the Sacraments. His liturgy book is still used by many Liberal and Independent Catholic Churches across the world.
