About this audiobook
The Astral Body and Related Phenomena by Arthur E. Powell, first published in London in 1927 by Theosophical Publishing House under the title The Astral Body and Other Astral Phenomena, is one of the most celebrated works of 20th-century Theosophical literature.
Powell, a former British Army officer and scholar of the Theosophical Society, accomplished a valuable work: he systematically collected and organized the teachings scattered throughout the works of Annie Besant and Charles W. Leadbeater, transforming them into a clear and accessible manual. The book explores the nature of the astral body—the seat of emotions and desires according to the theosophical view—and describes its composition, colors, and functions during wakefulness and sleep. Ample space is devoted to phenomena related to the astral plane: dreams, clairvoyance, thought-forms, life after death, and the entities that, according to this tradition, inhabit that invisible world.
The work’s main strength lies in its rigorous, almost encyclopedic structure, which makes it a reference point for anyone wishing to explore Western esotericism. It is part of a series that also includes The Etheric Double, The Mental Body, and The Causal Body, and is perhaps the most fascinating volume in the series.
A must-read for enthusiasts of spirituality and theosophy, and an interesting resource even for those who simply wish to learn about one of the most influential schools of thought from the early 20th century.
