Thought Forms (1905) by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater

Summary: Thought Forms: A Record of Clairvoyant Investigation, is based on the idea that ‘thoughts are things’ and that a person's emotions emit colorful auras of pattern and form. Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant attempt to help us conceive this truth by describing their clairvoyant observations to painters who produced the 58 illustrations contained in the book and then by providing their interpretations of those illustrations.
At the core of the book is the idea that thoughts are not just abstract mental concepts, but are real and tangible forms that have a powerful influence on the physical world. The authors argue that every thought we have creates a corresponding "thought form" that exists in the ether and has a real and tangible impact on the world around us.
Throughout the book, the authors explore the different types of thought forms that exist, including those that are positive and negative, and those that are related to different emotions and states of consciousness. They also offer practical advice for using the power of thought to create positive change in the world.
Charles Leadbeater and Annie Besant wrote that, “It is well for us ever to bear in mind that there is a hidden side to life-that each act and word and thought has its consequence in the unseen world which is always so near to us, and that usually these unseen results are of infinitely greater importance than those which are visible to all upon the physical plane.”
Thought Forms is considered to have had a major influence on abstract artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Piet Mondrian, Hilma Af Klint, and Paul Klee.
Annie Besant was a well respected orator, writer, social rights activist, and president of the Theosophical Society based in Adyar, Chennai, India from 1907 to her death in 1933. Charles Webster Leadbeater was known for his writings, his clairvoyant observations, and his raising and educating of Jiddu Krishnamurti. Leadbeater went on to write over 60 books and pamphlets and gave lectures until his death in 1934.

Books are vessels that contain all the information we need to learn/unlearn and remember. I used to be financially depressed until I read a book that made me realized that the secret to making a million is making better investments.

If only you guys had a grasp of the conspiracy then you would be highly suspect and critical of the writings of Pedo Leadbeater and Fraudulent Besant. Research how Alice Bailey and Annie Besant contributed to the supposed volumes which they attributed to the hand of Blavatsky and the numerous editions involving complete reactions of original passages and concepts found in Secret Doctrine. Blavatsky warns of the evil cabal that controls society, but only the true Theosophist students would know and take heed of such warning. Most of the prints of Blavatsky, including Manly p. Hall's writings, have been greatly altered, those prints especially of the later decades which preceds their deaths/hall's murder.

[@Alusnovalotus]

21:39 So, this is how telepathy works? We send out the thought form with the *feeling* that our present state has and it can be sent to another’s “antenna”. The more focused the feeling that is encrypted in that thought form, the clearer the picture that can communicate itself to another. That’s why I can’t understand the pictures that flash in my head when I visit places until it’s happening. There are no words, just thought forms that are left behind!!!
