The Devachanic Plane; or, The Heaven World: Its Characteristics and Inhabitants
London: Theosophical Publishing House, Ltd, ND, circa 1920's. Fourth Edition, Revised and Enlarged. 18mo, iii, 102, [2] pages, publisher's original white boards with black lettering. An influential work of early Theosophical literature by Charles Webster Leadbeater (1847–1934), a prominent English occultist, clairvoyant, and leading figure in the Theosophical Society. Originally published in 1896 as No. 6 in the *Theosophical Manuals* series, the work explores the nature of the Devachanic Plane, or Heaven World, as understood within Theosophical philosophy. Leadbeater describes the various subdivisions of the mental plane, their characteristics and inhabitants, and the experiences of human consciousness following physical death. Drawing upon Theosophical teachings and his claimed clairvoyant investigations, he examines the relationship between thought, spiritual evolution, and existence beyond the material world. An important contribution to the literature of Western esotericism, spiritualism, and the occult, reflecting the Theosophical movement's attempts to systematically describe the unseen dimensions of human existence. Some slight discoloration to the cloth, corners slightly bumped, previous owner's inscription and occasional marginalia, else in very good condition. Item #704
