About this audiobook
“The Hidden Side of Things” is a book by C. W. Leadbeater, first published in 1913. In this clear-voiced work Leadbeater sets out a series of clairvoyant observations and reflections on the unseen dimensions he argued underlie everyday life — the astral and mental planes, subtle beings and thought-forms, and the ways these hidden factors shape individual psychology and social events. Written in the accessible, didactic style familiar from his other Theosophical writings, the book surveys how unseen influences touch sleep, dreams, personality, moral development and the life of communities, offering practical counsel for spiritual discernment and ethical living. Placed in the wider context of early-20th-century Theosophy, the book helped popularise an esoteric map of the human and natural worlds that influenced spiritual seekers, occultists and some early New Age currents. While controversial in its claims and viewed skeptically by mainstream science, it remains a touchstone for readers interested in clairvoyant testimony, theosophical cosmology, and historical occult literature — useful for researchers, collectors and anyone exploring classical theosophical approaches to consciousness and the “hidden” background of daily life.
