About the author

C.W. Leadbeater

668 books127 followers
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.

To really understand this book, one needs to be familiar with theosophy and its tenets. The good news is that they have an extensive number of videos for free on their YouTube channel, which is primarily where I got my information.

The book itself isn't named correctly. Rather than a treatise on astral plane beings, it's more of a recruitment manual into Arhatship. It's clear and speaks truth but isn't for idle reading. Pablo Sender does a better job of explaining the Path in the aforementioned YouTube videos. The beginning of this book, however, was interesting, as it explained some angelic phenomena in practical terms (assuming one believes that it's possible to "practically" manipulate the astral realm.)

Not what I expected, but a decent read anyway. The stories and accounts of angels/projections are entertaining enough, though it’s very centered on human interaction rather than spirits of myth.

There seems to be a chapter missing in the kindle version from the original paperback copy I have. This book is excellent but it's unfortunate that parts are missing.

Please check the kindle version against the original. There are at least 2 episodes missing that I can remember. This is unfair to the reader

A book with an optimistic and hopeful message

The book, Invisible Helpers’, brings to mind that “We’re all walking each other home.” And while walking, we’re also helping others and are being helped by those who’ve walked this path ‘above’ us.

Mostly anecdotes displaying various aspects of remote viewing, a little bit of instruction for moral fortitude, and other relatively useless material. Not a complete waste of time.

Felt so dry to continue reading, lost track to what is being said. The first 15%, the last 20% of the book is were I read with interest.

A great book for the journey into harmony

Charles Webster Leadbeater è considerato il più grande chiaroveggente del XX secolo. Personaggio di spicco in ambito spirituale, fu guida del giovane J. Krishnamurti e di altri grandi pensatori tra cui A. Besant. Per anni Leadbeater ha desiderato spingersi oltre il limite sensoriale dello spazio e del tempo, per co­noscere ciò che già è ma che noi possiamo solo descrivere come ciò che sarà, con i limiti della percezione del presente. Ha dedicato la sua vita allo studio di ciò che resta inspiegabile alla scienza e ai grandi misteri del cosmo

Os textos do autor são sempre um bálsamo para quem se interessa pelos temas espirituais. Diferentemente de outras abordagens, a Teosofia traz uma aragem mental a assuntos que facilmente poderiam ser tratados com sentimentalismos e um excesso de energia emocional, que certamente afastariam os amantes do conhecimento sobre a vida invisível, coisa que tanta falta faz nesses últimos séculos de materialismo crasso.

A very interesting introduction to the work of those who want to dedicate themselves to help humanity. The book starts by telling a lot of stories and examples of cases of rescue and help by invisible helpers, and then proceeds with the explanation of the discipleship way according to Hindu and Buddhist traditions. Interesting and inspiring.

Gives a different aspect about "miracles" performed by "god". This book is only for the students of the occult.

Working through a number of Leadbetter books and this one
was worth the explanation of unexplainable events
that are assisted from the beyond...

Nice

It's an additional knowledge or I must say expanded version of what I learnt through Charles Leadbeater's books. More clarity.
