About This Book

The authors present a systematic account of how mental states are said to produce visible, colored forms on a subtler plane, explaining mechanisms of vibration, form, and the symbolism of colors and shapes. They group thought-forms into classes, provide illustrated examples corresponding to emotions and intentions such as affection, anger, fear, ambition, and devotional states, and describe forms arising in meditation and in response to music. Interleaved are theoretical sketches about cosmic correspondences and moral reflections urging awareness of thought-power and its effects.

Annie Besant

Annie Besant (1847-1933) was a prominent British social reformer, theosophist, and advocate for women's rights. She played a significant role in the Theosophical Society, promoting spiritual and philosophical ideas that sought to bridge Eastern and Western thought. Besant authored numerous works, including 'An Introduction to Yoga,' where she explored the spiritual practices of yoga, and 'Annie Besant: An Autobiography,' which details her journey through activism and personal transformation. Her writings often addressed themes of religion, morality, and social justice, reflecting her commitment to reform and enlightenment. Besant's legacy continues to influence discussions on spirituality and social issues.
