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.

Knowledge Is Power!

Whether the one seeking knowledge is a learner or strictly a browser, if you would, knowledge adds to one’s horizons. This enlightening book opens rooms for speculations and closes doors of wonders. For those wondering about that type of realm, this book serves as a great guide. Interesting read!

One of the better basic reads. Leadbeater has good vision, but strays into some Kabbalistic heirarchy - which is a real turn-off to me. Such wanderings are useless to any reader. He should always stick with observation. That's his forte.

This book mainly addresses really advanced and extremely rare clairvoyants. There is little to offer for those disciples who are seeking to develop their clairvoyance at an elementary level. You may not find a guideline on how to develop your clairvoyance. However, for those disciples who are willing to expand their esoteric knowledge, this book has a lot to offer. Also, those who are naturally born clairvoyants or have developed a good level of clairvoyance will find this book very helpful.

Leadbeater defines clairvoyance and catalogs the different kinds of "clairvoyant" experiences one can have. However, he never seems to get around to explaining how you can have these experiences despite the fact they are open and achievable by anyone.

[Ryan Hunter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very little instruction as to the methods of developing clairvoyance, he basically refers you to another of his books. Other than that his explanation of the various psychic faculties is in depth and thorough.

[WitchHaven Apothecary · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was an easy read, just not as informative on specifics on to how this occurs. Not much explanation. Edgar Cayce has more definitive information and specific advice and guidance as does Ted Andrews. Still worth the read as you can swiftly move through the pages.

A public relations article on the Great White Brotherhood of Adepts, with thickly layered white supremacy sentiments.
I read this book as part of an investigation into historical junk science.

Available on Project Gutenberg.

This book breaks down the various powers and uses for trained Clairvoyance. I found it to be very insightful and a glimpse of what is to come.

Legal pra ter uma ideia do tema da perspectiva da teosofia. As anedotas (os causos) me tiram um bocado desse tipo de leitura.

[Kelly · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'll be honest, I didn't get a lot of the material that dealt heavily with the scientific aspect/evidence of Clairvoyance, though not to the discredit of the author; in fact, he does a very good job of adapting the subject to his audience, especially considering this book was put out in 1899. No, I didn't understand simply because I've always had trouble grasping scientific concepts. With that said, it is still a very informative and worthy read. Oh, and hey, it's available for free over at Amazon.com.

[Douglas Milewski · Rating 2 out of 5]

Although this book begins with enough promise, surveying the different types of purported clairvoyance, the book winds up trotting out a great number of anecdotes. It's sorta like a student paper that has a few important things to say and then talks on end in order to meet word count. Clairvoyance, it seems, can do many powerful things, but mostly it just provides convenient revelations at unpredictable times.

Scientific explanation !!!

[Archana · Rating 1 out of 5]

Much of the content was related to astral travel than the ability to see.....may be relevant but I was hoping for a different information.

[Scott Yates · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent

This book is an educated explanation of the many types of clairvoyance. Very insightful and helpfully to anyone who has some understanding of metaphysics.
