Química oculta. Observaciones clarividentes de los elementos químicos

Rate this book
Cuando amanecía el siglo XX dos clarividentes exploraron en la constitución elemental y sutil de la materia en pos de develar el misterio de la composición y estructura íntima de todo cuanto existe. El resultado de esas investigaciones fue editado en aquella época como testimonio de las evidencias alcanzadas en el campo de la observación metodológica no ordinaria.

El volumen incluye gráficos y esquemas para representar lo que los dos exploradores psíquicos fueron rastreando y sacando a luz a medida que penetraban el velo de la materia. De los elementos materiales que la química de la época reconocía a la definición del “átomo ultérinmo”, el verdadero átomo en su sentido de simple e indivisible, propio de los niveles espirituales (el universo material y espiritual es la continuidad de una sola realidad),la investigación desarrolla un viaje experimental por los nunca antes revelados ámbitos ocultos de la forma y la sustancia.

Objeto de múltiples controversias durante casi un siglo, el libro ha terminado por ser reconocido como positivamente influyente, entre otras, en nociones tales como los isótopos radiactivos y la textura dinámica del campo cuántico de energía. Asombrosa pesquisa que la ciencia contemporánea ha comenzado a justipreciar y a emplear con una mayor apertura y liberalidad.

About the author

Annie Besant

2,122 books149 followers
Noted British reformer Annie Wood Besant vigorously supported socialism, birth control, trade unionism, and rights of women; the cause of independence interested her through her involvement with the theosophical society, and she moved and founded the home rule league in 1916 and served as president of the Indian national congress in 1917.

This prominent activist and orator wrote of Irish.

She, aged 20 years in 1867, married Frank Besant but separated over religious differences.

Once free of Frank Besant and exposed to new currents of thought, she began to question her long-held religious beliefs and the whole of conventional thinking. She began to write attacks on the way of the churches in lives of people. In particular, she attacked the status of the Church of England as a state-sponsored faith.

She quickly wrote a column for the National Reformer, the newspaper of the national secular society, to earn a small weekly wage. The society stood for a secular state and an end to the special status of Christianity and allowed her to act of its public speakers. Very popular public lectures entertained in Queen Victorian times. People quickly greatly demanded Besant, a brilliant speaker. Using the railway, she crisscrossed the country, spoke on all of the most important issues of the day, and always demanded improvement and freedom.

For many years, Besant befriended Charles Bradlaugh, leader of the national secular society. Bradlaugh, a former soldier, long separated from his wife; Besant lived with him and his daughters, and they worked together on many issues. He, an atheist and a republican, also tried to get elected as member of Parliament for Northampton.

She then prominently spoke for the national secular society, wrote, and closely befriended Charles Bradlaugh. In 1877, people prosecuted her and Bradlaugh for publishing a book of campaigner Charles Knowlton.

Besant and Bradlaugh, household names in 1877, then published a book of the American campaigner Charles Knowlton. It claimed that never happy working-class families ably decided not want of children. It suggested ways to limit the size of their families.

The scandal made them famous, and people elected Bradlaugh as member of Parliament for Northampton in 1880.

Actions included the bloody Sunday demonstration and the match girls strike of London of 1888. She led speakers for the Fabian society and the social democratic federation of Marxists. She topped the poll and won election to the school board of London for Tower Hamlets, topping the poll even despite few qualified female voters at that time.

In 1890, Besant met Helena Blavatsky, and over the next few years, secular matters waned. She joined as a member and a prominent lecturer on the subject. As part of her related work, she traveled. In 1898, she helped to establish the central Hindu college.

In 1902, she established le Droit Humain, the first overseas lodge of the international order of co-freemasonry. Over the next few years, she established lodges in many parts of the empire. In 1907, she led at international headquarters in Adyar, Madras (Chennai).

She also joined politics. When World War I broke in 1914, she helped to launch to campaign for democracy and dominion status within the empire. This led to her election in late 1917. After the war, she continued to campaign.

In 1922, she helped establish the Hyderabad (Sind) national collegiate board in Mumbai.

She fought, starting with freedom of thought, Fabians, and workers as a leading member of the national secular society alongside Charles Bradlaugh.

She continued to campaign until her death.

Who says good sci fi needs actual characters? This is an imaginary walk through of sub atomic physics, which its authors presented as real, but come now, what work of science fiction reminds you about the fiction part?

Joyful read. The book talks about how enhanced perception can help understand the structure of things just by meditating on them. Clairvoyance.

This is explained in Yogasutras of Patanjali as to how if you reach a state of consciousness you can just know an object by doing “samyama” ; CIA had also done similar experiments using something dubbed remote viewing.

This is certainly a good account and a direction towards future fusions of objective science and subjective science (spirituality + direct experience ) but perhaps this whole experiment may be repeated in front of an observation yet again to prove its replicability.

too much chemistry, too little occult.

This is pretty interesting if you want to see an alternative view of the elements (in terms of the periodic table), and I personally love stories with a well thought-out magic system, which this could be a great base resource for. I think I was expecting something with more alchemical process, whereas this is more theoretical atomic chemistry. if you're into the title, the appendix is pretty interesting.

I can't rate this book. I found out about it while reading another book about mistaken element discoveries and it referenced the idea of occult chemistry. So I picked this one up to see what it was about.

Interesting from a history of science/chemistry perspective for me; but, most of it was unreadable. I read the preface and part 1, then skimmed the book until I got to the appendix and then read it (sort of).

A note on this book. It was first published in 1919 so the copyright has expired. You'll find any number of different isbns for it because different people do a print-on-demand of books like this one. The quality can vary depending on how the reproduce it.
