This is a Theosophical manual of the phenomena of Clairvoyance, the mental viewing of things far removed in space and/or time. Leadbeater appeals to the fourth dimension, the Akashic record, and the assistance of unseen spirits, as explanations of the phenomena. Students of the occult will find this a satisfying review, but more rationalist minded investigators will find this more of a counter-example of how to research psi. (Quote from sacred-texts.com)About the AuthorC.W. Leadbeater (Feb 16, 1854 Stockport, Cheshire, England - March 1, 1934 Perth, Western Australia), was an English clergyman, author, clairvoyant, and prominent early member of the Theosophical Society.Charles’ father, Charles Sr., was born in Lincoln and his mother Emma was born in Liverpool. He himself was born in Stockport, Cheshire, in 1854. Public records indicate that he was an only child. By 1861 the family had moved to London, where his father is listed as a "Railway Contractor"s Clerk". Charles Sr. died from tuberculosis in 1862, when Charles was only eight years old. Four years later another misfortune appears to have struck the family when a bank in which their savings were invested collapsed. Thus without finances for college, Charles had to seek work right after graduating high school to support his mother and himself. This he did in various clerical jobs. During the evenings he became largely self-educated. For example, he studied astronomy and had a 12-inch reflector telescope to observe the heavens at night. And he learned French, Latin and Greek.
