Charles W. Leadbeater has long been recognized as one of the greatest clairvoyants of the twentieth century. The Inner Life is a classic example of the discriminating use to which he puts his unique talents. Of course, no clairvoyant can claim to be authoritative, but in this book, the author once again demonstrates the unusual precautions he takes to guard against possible error. Additionally, he goes one large step beyond the average treatise on phenomenalistic events, for he provides a common sense philosophical rationale for the dramatic para-psychic events about which he writes. In the literary world, C. W. Leadbeater is best known for his book, The Chakras, one of the best-selling books on occultism yet to be published. With his close friend, fellow clairvoyant Annie Besant, he co-authored the Quest books, Man, Visible and Invisible and Thought Forms.
