A leading figure in the Theosophical Society, Leadbeater was a prolific author, writing on subjects ranging from Buddhism, Masonic history and the origins of Christianity through to the power of thought and the fourth dimension.

And what a world Leadbeater describes for us in these pages---a world of Master adepts and their pupils, untapped human powers and potentials, ancient mysteries, devas and nature spirits--in short, the unseen workings of the universe.

Both books were published by the Theosophical Publishing House in Wheaton (Quest Books) which also published all of Leadbeater's writings. Clairvoyance is an extraordinary human gift, and according to the author of the ...
