LEADBEATER is an example of an esoteric classic book first published in 1896 in the UNITED KINGDOM.A celebrated Theosophical classic filled valuable and well explained information.A Glimpse Inside‘Reference to the astral plane, or Kâmaloka as it is called in Sanskrit, has frequently been made by Theosophical writers, and a good deal of information on the subject of this realm of nature is to be found scattered here and there in our books; but there is not, so far as I am aware, any single volume to which one can turn for a complete summary of the facts at present known to us about this interesting region. The object of this manual is to collect and make some attempt to arrange this scattered information, and also to supplement it slightly in cases where new facts have come to our knowledge. It must be understood that any such additions are only the result of the investigations of a few explorers, and must not, therefore, be taken as in any way authoritative, but are given simply for what they are worth.’SynopsisCharles Webster Leadbeater, the author of this Theosophical masterwork, was a member of the Theosophical Society, a Co-Freemason, and an esoteric writer. Additionally, he was a co-founder of the Liberal Catholic Church. He became an associate of Annie Bessant after resigning from the Anglican Church due to his interest in spiritualism. He was a senior officer of the Theosophical Society and the author of more than 60 books and pamphlets.
