A clairvoyant, Leadbeater wrote, is simply a person who develops "the power to respond to another octave out of the stupendous gamut of possible vibrations" and so is enabled "to see more of the world..than those of more limited perception." And what a world Leadbeater describes for us in these pages---a world of Master adepts and their pupils, untapped human powers and potentials, ancient mysteries, devas and nature spirits--in short, the unseen workings of the universe.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful book for seriuous occultism students,
By Eduardo Morales (MIAMI, FLORIDA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Inner Life (Quest Book) (Paperback)
While the book is not easy of reading, it is really worth as is a complete exposure of the theosopical ideas. It really answers such important questions as "why the ego had chosen to incarnate and why he does it continually", "which is the purpose of the every day life". It is a heavy book to be read slowly and most of its chapters should be subject to a deep meditation before could be completely assimilated.

Occult philosophy taught by a wise and good man,
By OAKSHAMAN "oakshaman" (Algoma, WI United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Inner Life (Quest Book) (Paperback)
_From his writings it is obvious to me that Charles W. Leadbeater was not only incredibly knowledgeable in the esoteric sciences, but he was also a genuinely good man (though both he and his generation of Theosophists still have their critics.) When a writer states outright that a good is only good if it benefits everyone, or that children contain the spark of the Divine and should be treated with the appropriate respect, their character is fairly obvious. This man was motivated by the desire to do good, not by any egoistic lust for influence and power. Then there was also the fact that he was extremely accepting and tolerant of spiritualists and mediums for a Theosophist of his day- but then he was also a world recognized clairvoyant in his own right.
_In spite of the fact that the two-volume set that this volume is condensed from was given as a series of "informal" talks it still isn't a light read. There are profound concepts dealt with in depth and detail- and plenty of formal Sanskrit terminology. The range of concepts is encyclopedic. Indeed, with the very detailed table of contents and the full index this volume serves very well as a reference book to classical Theosophical doctrine. In fact the frequent reference to the writings of Madam Blavatsky also makes it an exegesis on her works. _The length, the depth, the formal terminology can be overwhelming, but ultimately perseverance is rewarded. As the author himself put it, when a candidate has raised himself to the level of initiation there is no power that can withhold it.

Very Good,
By
This review is from: The Inner Life (Quest Book) (Paperback)
This book contains a lot of wisdom, however it takes some patience to read it and understand it. It is a gem though. Read the works of Samael Aun Weor to get a more complete view of the Theosophical Septenary, the Monad, etc.
