PUBLISHER'S PREFACE

About the Book

"This is a Theosophical manual of the phenomena of lairvoyance, the mental viewing of things far removed in and/or time. leadbeater appeals to the fourth dimensio Akashic record, and the assistance of unseen spirit, as explanations of the phenomena. Students of the occult wi I find this a satisfying review, but more rationalist minded inve tigators will find this more of a counter-example of how to res arch psi."

(Quote from sacred-texts com)

About the Author

"C.W. Leadbeater (Feb 16, 1854 Stockport, Cheshire, Engl ndMarch 1, 1934 Perth, Western Australia), was an E glish clergyman, author, clairvoyant, and prominent early mem the Theosophical Society.

Charlesa€TM father, Charles Sr., was born in lincoln an his mother Emma was born in liverpool. He himself was b rn in Stockport, Cheshire, in 1854. Public records indicate that h was an only child. By 1861 the family had moved to London, here his father is listed as a "Railway Contractor's Clerk". Chari s 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, Carles had to seek work right after graduating high school to su port

his mother and himself. This he did in various clerical jobs. During the evenings he bec me largely self-educated. For example, he studied astrono y and had a 12-inch reflector telescope to observe the hea ens at night. And he learned French, Latin and Greek."

WHAT CLAIRVOYANCE IS

C afrvoya nee

CLAIRVOYANCE means literally nothing mor than "clear seeing", and it is a word wh ich has been so ely misused, and even degraded so far as to be employe to describe

the tricke ry of a mou nteba n k in a va riety show. Ev n in its more restricted sense it covers a wide range of phenom na, differing so greatly in character that it is not easy to give a definition of the word which shall be at once succinct and ac urate. It has been called "spiritual vision", but no rendering c uld well be more misleading than that, for in the vast majo ity of cases there is no faculty connected with it which has he slightest claim to be honoured by so lofty a name.

For the purpose of this treatise we may, perhaps define it as the power to see what is hidden from ordinary ph steal sight. It will be as well to premise that it is very frequently ( hough by no means always) accompanied by what is called clai audience, or the power to hear what would be inaudible to he ordinary physical ear; and we will for the nonce take our titl as covering this faculty also, in order to avoid the clumsiness perpetually using two long words where one will suffice.

Let me make two points clear before I begin. Fi st, I am not writing for those who do not believe that there is such a thing as clairvoyance, nor am I seeking to convince thos who are in doubt about the matter. In so small a work as t is I have no space for that; such people must study the any books containing lists of cases, or make experiments fo themselves along mesmeric lines. I am addressing myself t the betterinstructed class who know that clairvoyance ex sts, and are




2

ForgottenBooks.org

sufficiently interested in the subje to be glad of information as to its methods and possibilities; and I would assure them that what I write is the result of much areful study and experiment, and that though some of the p wers which I shall have to describe may seem new and won erful to them, I mention no single one of which I have not mys If seen examples.

Secondly, though I shall endeavou to avoid technicalities as far as possible, yet as I am writing in the main for students of Theosophy, I shall feel myself at iberty sometimes to use, for brevity's sake and without detail d explanation, the ordinary Theosophical terms with which I ay safely assume them to be familiar.

Should this document fall into th hands of any to whom the occasional use of such terms con titutes a difficulty, I can only apologize to them and refer hem for these preliminary explanations to any elementary Theosophical work, such as Mrs. Besant's Ancient Wisdom or an and His Bodies. The truth is that the whole Theosophical system hangs together so closely, and its various parts are s interdependent, that to give a full explanation of every term used would necessitate an exhaustive treatise on Theosophy s a preface even to this short account of clairvoyance.

Before a detailed explanation of clairvoyance can usefully be attempted, however, it will be nec ssary for us to devote a little time to some preliminary conside ations, in order that we may have clearly in mind a few broad cts as to the different planes on which clairvoyant vision may e exercised, and the conditions wh ich renders its exercise po sible.

We are constantly assured in Th osophical literature that all these higher faculties are pres ntly to be the heritage of mankind in general-that the pacity of clairvoyance, for




C afrvoya nee

example, lies latent in every one, nd those in whom it already manifests itself are simply in th t one particular a little in advance of the rest of us. Now thi statement is a true one, and yet it seems quite vague and u nr al to the majority of people, simply because they regard su h a faculty as something absolutely different from anythin they have yet experienced, and feel fairly confident that they themselves, at any rate, are not within measurable distance of ts development.

It may help to dispel this sens of unreality if we try to understand that clairvoyance, li e so many other things in nature is mainly a question of vib tions, and is in fact nothing but an extension of powers which we are all using every day of our lives. We are living all the whil surrounded by a vast sea of mingled air and ether, the latter in erpenetrating the former, as it does all physical matter; an it is chiefly by means of vibrations in that vast sea of mat er that impressions reach us from the outside. This much we II know, but it may perhaps never have occurred to many of s that the number of these vibrations to which we are capa Ie of responding is in reality quite infinitesimal.

Up among the exceedingly rapid vibrations which affect the ether there is a certain small sect on-a very small section-to which the retina ofthe human eye is capable of responding, and these particular vibrations produc in us the sensation which we call light. That is to say, we are apable of seeing only those objects from which light of that p rticular kind can either issue or be reflected.

In exactly the same way the ty panum of the human ear is capable of responding to a certain very small range of comparatively slow vibrations-slow eno gh to affect the air which surrounds us and so the only so nds which we ca n hear are




4

ForgottenBooks.org

tho e made by objects which are able to vibrate at some rate wit in that particular range.

In oth cases it is a matter perfectly well known to science that the e are large numbers of vibrations both above and below the e two sections, and that consequently there is much light tha we cannot see, and there are many sounds to which our ear are deaf. In these case of light the action of these higher and lower vibrations is easily perceptible in the effects uced by the actinic rays at one end of the spectrum and the rays atthe other.

As matter of fact there exist vibrations of every conceivable deg ee of rapidity, filling the whole vast space intervening bet een the slow sound waves and the swift light waves; nor is eve that all, for there are undoubtedly vibrations slower than tho e of sound, and a whole infinity of them which are swifter tha those know to us as light. So we begin to understand that the vibrations by which we see and hear are only like two tiny gro ps of a few strings selected from an enormous harp of pra ically infinite extent, and when we think how much we hav been able to learn and infer from the use of those minute fra ments, we see vaguely what possibilities might lie before us if w were enabled to utilize the vast and wonderful whole.

An ther fact which needs to be considered in this connection is tha different human beings vary considerably, though within rela ively narrow limits, in their capacity of response even to the very few vibrations which are within reach of our physical sen es. I am not referring to the keenness of sight or of hearing tha enables one man to see a fainter object or hear a slighter sou d than another; it is not in the lest a question of strength of visi n, but of extent of susceptibility.




C afrvoya nee

For example, if anyone will take a good bisulphide-of-carbon prism, and by its means throw a cI ar spectrum on a sheet of white paper, and then get a number of people to mark upon the paper the extreme limits of the spe trum as it appears to them, he is fairly certain to find that th ir powers of vision differ appreciably. Some will see the vio et extending much farther than the majority do; others will p rhaps see rather less violet than most, while gaining a correspo ding extension of vision at the red end. Some few there wil perhaps be who can see farther than ordinary at both en s, and these will almost certainly be what we call sensitive people-susceptible in fact to a great range of vibrations than are most men of the present day.

In hearing, the same difference ca be tested by taking some sound which is just not too high 0 be audible-on the very verge of audibility as it were-a d discovering how many among a given number of people re able to hear it. The squeaks of a bat is a familiar instance of su h a sound, and experiment will show that on a summer evenin , when the whole air is full of the shrill, needle-like cries of t ese little animals, quite a large number of men will be absol tely unconscious of them, and unable to hear anything at all.

Now these examples clearly show t at there is no hard-and-fast limit to man's power of response to either etheric or aerial vibrations, but that some among us already have that power to a wider extent than others; and it ill even be found that the same man's capacity varies on different occasions. It is therefore not difficult for us to imag ne that it might be possible for a man to develop this power, and thus in time to learn to see much that is invisible to his fello -men, and hear much that is inaudible to them, since we know perfectly well that
