The Hidden Side of Things
BY
C. W. Leadbeater
THE THEOSOPHICAL PUBLISHING HOUSEA DYAR, MADRAS 20, INDIAFOREWORDTHIS book has been in contemplation, and even in process of construction, for the last ten or twelve years, but only nowhas it been found possible to publish it. It has lost nothing by thedelay, for a student of the occult never ceases to learn, and I know agood deal more in various ways now than I did twelve years ago, eventhough I see still more clearly than ever what an infinity of further knowledge stretches before us for our acquiring.Much of what is written here has appeared in the form of articles in
The Theosophist 
and elsewhere ; but all has been revised,and considerable additions have been made. I trust that it may helpsome brothers to realise the importance of that far larger part of lifewhich is beyond our physical sight -- to understand that, as the LordBuddha Himself has taught us:
The unseen things are more.
