About Great Minds Series

way people earn their lives and manifest their innate tal-
ents through their professional engagement.
And it happens also, and what this book is set to em-
phasize, in psychology and psychoanalysis, for Franoise
Dolto, while having been a member of the Freudian psy-
choanalytic school, has created an approach to healing
psychotic children that was really unknown to the founder
of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud.

Hence the need to really look over the fence and get
beyond social, cultural and racial conditioning for adopt-
ing an integrative and holistic worldview that is focused
on more than problem-solving.
What this book tries to convey is that taking the exam-
ple of one of the greatest child psychoanalysts of our time,
we may see that its not too late, be it for our planet and for
us humans, our careers, our science, our collective spiritual
advancement, and our scientific understanding of nature,
and that we can thrive in a world that is surely more dif-
ferent in ten years from now that it was one hundred years
in the past compared to now.
We are free to continue to feel like victims in this new
reality, and wait for being taken care of by the state, or we
may accept the state, and society, as human creations that
will never be perfect, and venture into creating our lives
and careers in accordance with our true mission, and based
upon our real gifts and talents.

and Natya came all the way to India. Narianiah, being ex-
pelled from Adyar, considered with good reasons that An-
nie Besant had broken their agreement, and requested by
registered mail his children to be returned to India before
the end of August. He then began with a campaign against
her, Leadbeater, and the Theosophical Society in the Hindu,
on of the largest daily newspapers in India. Believing that
Narianiahs friends would kidnap the children, Besant hid
them in a large house, lent for that purpose by Lady De La
Warr. They stayed there for five months under the constant
watch of Jinarajadasa, Dick Clarke, Basil Hodgson-Smith
and Reginald Farrar, Mrs and Mr. Bright taking care of the
household.

giving any proof. He even swore that his own wife had an
affair with Wedgwood in his own house. The Sydney press
became interested in the story and one paper in particular
published the most absurd stories, and the attacks contin-
ued for a while. Tired of the denigration campaign, two
well-known members of the Theosophical Society went to
the Minister of Justice of New South Wales and requested
to investigate the stories. All the young people were inter-
rogated by the police and the incident is reported in a letter
from Krishnamurti to Lady Emily Lutyens dated June 2nd,
1922.
The enquiry didnt find the smallest evidence of wrong
doing supporting the accusations.

continues in the midst of his large family of some fifty
people. People with a good reputation, cultivated, nobility
coming from all parts of the world just to sit at the feet of
this pure and holy man. They consider his teaching as a
privilege, making the effort to share accommodation under
a common roof. When he walks on the street, strangers
look at him, his noble stature and his dignity, stunned by
the joy and the kindness shining around him. What a
beautiful old age!, said one day a passer-by.
Sydney was the center of the activities of the Liberal
Catholic Church in these days, and it began to grow and
expand in the whole world.

Review
When I first came in touch with theosophy, thirty years
ago, by reading Helena Petrovna Blavatskys Secret Doc-
trine and so much the more after December 1997, when I
joined the Theosophical Society of Adyar in Germany e.V., I
went to study the biographies of the notorious and more or
less famous founders of theosophy, Blavatsky, Leadbeater,
and Besant.
With regard to Leadbeater this in-depth lectures reas-
sured me that he was not that high-strung and scandal-
ridden Anglican Bishop he was painted in the media, but a
nobleman who made his lifes mission from his extraordi-
nary gift of clairvoyance, by systematically exploring its

self any more illusory than the physical world, but because
of the extreme unreliability of the impressions brought back
from it by the untrained seer. This is to be accounted for
mainly by two remarkable characteristics of the astral world
first, that many of its inhabitants have a marvellous power
of changing their forms with Protean rapidity, and also of
casting practically unlimited glamour over those with whom
they choose to sport; and secondly, that sight on that plane is
a faculty very different from and much more extended than
physical vision. An object is seen, as it were, from all sides at
once, the inside of a solid being as plainly open to / the view
as the outside; it is therefore obvious than an inexperienced
visitor to this new world may well find considerable diffi-
culty in understanding what he really does see, and still
more in translating his vision into the very inadequate lan-
guage of ordinary speech./3-4

Quotes
No one can get a clear conception of the teachings of
the Wisdom-Religion until he has at any rate an intel-
lectual grasp of the fact that in our solar system there
exist perfectly definite planes, each with its own mat-
ter of different degrees of density, and that some of
these planes can be visited and observed by persons
who have qualified themselves for the work, exactly as
a foreign country might be visited and observed; and
that, by comparison of the observations of those who
are constantly working on these planes, evidence can
be obtained of their existence and nature at least as
satisfactory as that which most of us have for the exis-
tence of Greenland or Spitzbergen. /2-3

Review
At a time when science was far from admitting any-
thing beyond the five senses and when it was firmly be-
lieved that all sensations and emotions were processed in
the brain, and when the luminous body was strictly denied
in science, Leadbeater provided clairvoyant scientific ex-
planations that today we know are true, but that at his
time were considered as pure esoterism. Leadbeater first
introduces in the aura, or the etheric body, explaining of
what it consists and what its function is:
Now this etheric double has often been called the vehicle of
the human life-ether or vital force (called in Sanskrit prna),
and anyone who has developed the psychic faculties can see
exactly how this is so. He will see the solar life-principle al-
most colorless, though intensely luminous and active, which
is constantly poured into earths atmosphere by the sun: he
will see how the etheric part of his spleen in the exercise of
its wonderful function absorbs this universal life, and spe-
cializes it into prana, so that it may be more readily as-
similable by his body; how it then courses all over that body,
running along every nerve-thread in tiny globules of lovely
rosy light, causing the glow of life and health and activity to
penetrate every atom of the etheric double; and how, when
the rose-colored particles have been absorbed, the superflu-
ous life-ether finally radiates from the body in every direc-
tion as bluish-white light./11

magic is all about, after all. A real master only needs to fo-
cus their thought and can trigger any desired effect. With
saints and yogis, it has been reported that their thoughts
can do miracles, such as producing matter instantly, shape-
shift their bodies, levitate the person in the air, or heal oth-
ers virtually as quickly as they think of it. Leadbeater ex-
plains:
The vast majority of people, if they will watch what they are
in the habit of calling their thoughts closely, will find that
they are very largely made up of a casual stream of this sort
that in truth they are not their thoughts at all, but simply
the cast-off fragments of other peoples./31

The Inner Life is a door-opener to all worlds beyond the visible and the
physical. Its a book that talks about things you perhaps wont think can
be true if you have not done research about the author.
Review
In fact, the insights of a clairvoyant into the reality of our
universe are so strikingly different from what mainstream
science and school wisdom tells you that you may doubt
this book is written in a scientific intention? But when you
read the first ten pages you will perhaps arrest your hur-
ried judgment because of the truly scientific style of the
author, a style that is so dry and unpretentious that its not

the Cabbala, for example), you may come to think that this
man was an impostor or that he had paranoid delusions.
No, he didnt have a deficient ego nor was he insane. This
is widely recognized by biographical research, and I have
studied several biographies of him, and also the beneficial
role he played in the life of the young Krishnamurti.
As copyright has expired because of time reasons, I

Quotes
To be psychic means to be able to bring through into
the physical consciousness something of the wider life;
it is therefore in the condition of the physical vehicle
that there is an inequality between the psychic and the
ordinary person, but when the physical is dropped
that inequality no longer exists./4-5
93
CHARLES WEBSTER LEADBEATER AND THE INNER LIFE
The length of a mans astral life after he has put off his
physical body depends mainly upon two factorsthe
nature of his past physical life, and his attitude of
mind after what we call death. During his earth-life he
is constantly influencing the building of matter into
his astral body. He affects it directly by the passions,
emotions and desires which he allows to hold sway
over him; he affects it indirectly by the action upon it
of his thoughts from above, and of all the details of his
physical life (his continence or his debauchery, his
cleanliness or his uncleanliness, his food and his
drink) from below. If, by persistence in perversity
along any of these lines, he is so stupid as to build for
himself a coarse and gross astral vehicle, habituated to
responding only to the lower vibrations of the plane,
he will find himself after death bound to that plane
during the long and slow process of that bodys disin-
tegration. On the other hand, if, by decent and careful
living, he gives himself a vehicle mainly composed of
finer material, he will have very much less post-

Let me add a remark here. Its not really true that en-
ergy fields were not recognized in the West. What is true is
that all direct knowledge about life was considered a her-
esy for centuries, which is why this research, together with
alchemy, herbal cures and even astrology had to remain in
the underground. Paracelsus has discovered in plants ex-
actly what the authors report here, a powerful energy field,
and he has even found how to potentiate this energy field

affirming that there is really only one cosmic energy field, and
not several. Now, how does this energy body, this aura,
look like? Karagulla describes it:
To the clairvoyant, the etheric body looks like a lu-
minous web of fine bright lines of force which, in a
healthy person, stand out at right angles to the sur-
face of the skin. Its texture may be fine-grained or
coarse, a characteristic which repeats itself in the
physical body type. Each organ of the body has its
etheric counterpart, through which the etheric en-
ergy circulates constantly./30
