[Yorgos · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent and eloquent exposition on evolution and spiritual issues, along the Theosophical lines and influenced by the work of C. W. Leadbeater.
Well written, with an understandable and easy language.
Great work.

This is series of 5 books edited by Colonel Arthur E. Powell. He very methodically combined information from a number of theosophical authors in the early part of the 20th century. These books are a wealth of esoteric information. They are more head centered than heart centered. However these books must be read in the following order: Etheric Double, Astral Body, Mental Body, Causal Body, and Solar System. Each builds on the last. Although not all are mentioned in Goodreads, I recommend ordering the Quest book editions. You can get them on Amazon or from Quest Books.

I will add more later.

This is by far the best book on the subject of esoteric philosophy that I have had the pleasure to read. Mr Powell talks about the solar system as a God in the making, and how all life on the planets contributes to the collective thrust of that endeavor. The main reading follows the line of thinking of the Theosophical society, good source of information
