Publisher's Synopsis
One of Theosophy's most important works, Leadbeater here describes, in technical detail, the process of ascension through the physical realm, into the mental, astral, and causal worlds above, detailing the effect of behavior and thought on the process, and excoriating typical western ideas of death. Included here are also his thoughts on astral work involving students of such arts within mysticism, and how they may aid both the living and dead in the process.
