Annie Besant was one of the great female reformers of the early twentieth century, striving for women's and workers' rights at a time when both were considered 'inappropriate' for a well-brought-up young lady. Following a chance request to review Madame Blavatsky's 'The Secret Doctrine', Besant added esoteric research and practice to her many accomplishments, rising to a high position in the Theosophical Society, and eventually taking on the mantle of spiritual leader after Madame Blavatsky's death in 1891 In 'Esoteric Christianity' Besant explores the hidden teachings that - as with other...

De Britse Annie Besant hield in 1898 een aantal lezingen op diverse plaatsen in Nederland. De voordrachten waren in het Engels maar konden, omdat ze 'in snelschrift opgeteekend' waren, woordelijk worden vertaald. Op heldere wijze zet de spreekster uiteen wat de leringen inhouden van de theosofie - het 'Goddelijk weten', dat volgens Besant vroeger niet alleen religie maar ook wijsbegeerte en wetenschap omvatte, hoe de theosofie zich verhoudt tot het meer traditionele Christendom en zij vertelt 'het verhaal van den Christus', over zowel de geschiedkundige Jezus en de mystieke Christus. Volgens...

Annie Besant was born in 1847, and was a life long reformist, fighting for the causes of women, secularism, freedom of thought, birth control, socialism and workers rights. In 1889, she became involved with Theosophy, and after the death of Madame Blavastsky in 1891, she became a leading figure in the spiritual movement. These two books explain the interaction between the physical body, the mind, and the emotions, and the aura and the energies of the Universe.

For those intimidated by Madame Blavatsky's massive and complex tome, The Secret Doctrine, Annie Besant presents the basic tenets of Theosophical thought in a concise, easy to digest format. While a much easier read, this book still delivers the full spectrum and depth of the Theosophical philosophy.

Thought Forms is a book, by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, which is a study on the nature and power of thoughts. The authors state that thoughts have two effects: "a radiating vibration and a floating form." Thought forms are divided into three classes: That which takes the image of the thinker. That which takes the image of some material object. That which takes a form entirely its own, expressing its inherent qualities in the matter which it draws round it. The effect of music, emotions, and colors on thought forms is also studied in the book. The effect of the music of Felix Mendelssohn...
