Man: Visible and Invisible

Record summary

C. W. Leadbeater’s Man: Visible and Invisible, issued in the Theosophical milieu centered at Adyar, describes subtle bodies, planes, colors, and spiritual development, including entities positioned between ordinary human life and higher divine states. The book is useful for comparing the visual and classificatory language of modern occultism with religious accounts of angels, devas, and intermediary beings. Its illustrations and claims depend on alleged clairvoyant perception rather than reproducible experiment. Researchers should consult the first edition and distinguish later Theosophical reinterpretations.
