Leadbeater writes on the subject of meditation. He makes a distinction between meditation and contemplation, asserting that not everyone is suited to do either. He talks about using the ascended masters as sources of guidance and inspiration during attempts at meditation. He also discusses the benefits and pitfalls of collective meditation by a group of people. This is not a how-to guide, but a philosophical examination for the practitioner, as related to Theosophy in particular.

C. W. Leadbeater here writes about the concept of time, a popular topic of philosophical introspection at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. He imagines a reality where time is neither static nor linear, in spite of how we perceive it. He then ties all of this in with an individual's spirituality. This was originally a published edition of a lecture of his from 1913.

Leadbeater discusses the use and acquisition of psychic powers, although this is not a how-to or an instructional article. He is writing from a philosophical standpoint, addressing students of theosophy who may be experiencing psychic changes through the course of their education and meditations. He cautions students against forcing their psychic will upon others, even if they are doing so with positive intentions and with the other individual's best interests at heart.

Publisher's Summary

Leadbeater writes about the subject of occultism, attempting to reclaim the term from the reputation of being strictly related to practitioners of the dark arts. He writes that the occultist needs to extend his consciousness and his five senses in order to be in better touch with the world we live in. He writes about the evolution of man and what is expected of the student who may want to excel beyond his perceived earthly limits; as well, he touches on other theosophical topics.

What a waste

Slow reader. Nothing but surface information. Felt like a prelude; no substance. Save your 3 bucks.
