About the author

Charles Webster Leadbeater was an influential 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, but resigned in 1906 amid a scandal. Accusations of his detractors were never proven and, with Besant's assistance, he was readmitted a few years later. Leadbeater went on to write over 69 books and pamphlets that examined in detail the hidden side of life as well as maintain regular speaking engagements. His efforts on behalf of the society assured his status as one of its leading members until his death in 1934.

Interesting in comparative Religion

[Jason McClure · Rating 4 out of 5]

a bit old-timey but great material if your into metaphysics

[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

A brief, clear, more-or-less first-person account of the structure and operation of the "mental plane" or Devachan--the place where we all wind up at the climax of our postmortem experience and remain until it is time for us to incarnate again. The heaven we experience is the heaven we create for ourselves by our actions on Earth.
