Some Glimpses of Occultism, Ancient and Modern

by C. W. Leadbeater

About this book

C. W. Leadbeater presents an introduction to occult subjects from a Theosophical perspective. Based on lectures delivered in Chicago, the book relates its account of unseen worlds and human faculties to Christianity, Buddhism and the ancient mysteries.

The modern subjects include mesmerism, telepathy, mind cure, magic and the use of psychic powers. Further chapters connect these ideas with character, daily conduct and the future of humanity. First published in 1903, the work is presented in the complete second revised edition of 1909, with the original index and concluding material.
