Summary

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Charles Webster Leadbeater, an eminence of spirituality surrounded by controversy 


Originally published in 1895, "The Astral Plane" (AKA The Astral Plane: Its Scenery, Inhabitants & Phenomena) is a Theosophical Classic by British author Charles Webster Leadbeater describing what the Astral Plane is, its advantages, its dangers, what types of spirits inhabit it, what it is like, and how to get there.

"The Astral Plane" is an engrossing document of the public fascination with the paranormal at the turn of the 20th century. This work explains one aspect of theosophy, the metaphysical doctrine that seeks to find the unified truth buried in all of humanity's religions.

On this incredible guided tour of one of the "various planes of the universe," you'll meet black magicians, vampires, werewolves, elemental essences, fairies, and angels. You'll encounter phenomena including churchyard ghosts, mysterious bell ringing, clairvoyance, second sight, spirit photographs, slate writing, and levitation. And you'll learn why darkness is absolutely required at a séance.

    Before time was recorded by mankind there were the ancient gods of Mesopotamia. Before civilization emerged, before Empires grew, they came and created a hybrid slave race we now call humanity. 
     
    This is the story of the Anunnaki, the ancient gods. All religions, myths and mysteries emerged in these ancient times. Flying angels and chariots. Sky ships and miracles. Great constructions in an age supposedly named after stone. The facts do not fit the standard history. Instead, they fit a massive tale of a superior species that came to Earth, created a slave race to mine and serve, and then left behind mystery. 
     
    This is the story of those alien gods.

    Still struggling to help your ADHD child? 
    Do you see any or many of these signs and symptoms of ADHD in your child? 
    - Loses important things 
    - Disorganized 
    - Distracted 
    - No follow-through 
    - Avoids mental effort 
    - Doesn't listen 
    - Inattentive 
    - Careless 
    - Spacey 
    - Forgetful 
    - Poor focus 
    If you’re seeing more than a handful of these characteristics, you can’t ignore them.  
    These behaviors indicate a child who is not fully present and not able to embrace the joy available in life. With these behaviors, often they find it impossible to interact in a cooperative, productive, and fulfilling way with other people. They don’t do as well in school, and this affects their future career possibilities. 
    When your child acts up with the symptoms of ADHD, it can put you right on your “last nerve,” and you want a solution. But you’re also recognizing that simply giving your child a pill every day may not be the best or most responsible thing to do. 
    Sure, you can get specialized testing and simply “get a pill” 
    OR 
    You can be a real parent and learn the true MEANING of their behavior, as well as what you can do to help. 
    There IS a Solution to Help a Child with ADHD without Medication 
    I’m here to tell you that there IS a solution for the symptoms you’re seeing in your child. And we’re not talking about controlling or minimizing the symptoms of ADHD. That’s not nearly enough. 
    We’re talking about a real transformation where your child becomes truly happy, fulfilled, responsible, and, well, a human being again - almost always without the use of medications, which have a serious list of possible long-term side effects 
    You can do this, so let's get started.

    Public transportation is often presented as the backbone of modern cities, a vital system that connects people to jobs, schools, and essential services. Advocates promote it as an affordable, eco-friendly, and efficient alternative to private vehicles, reducing congestion and improving urban mobility. Governments and transit agencies highlight its benefits, claiming it serves the public good while advancing sustainability goals. However, beyond the polished image of well-maintained buses, sleek trains, and promises of convenience, there lies a far more complicated and often troubling reality.  
      
    The public is frequently told that mass transit is the key to reducing traffic and lowering pollution, yet many systems fail to deliver on these promises. Trains break down, buses run late, and commuters find themselves packed into overcrowded vehicles, often feeling unsafe. Meanwhile, taxpayers pour billions into these systems, only to see fare increases, service cuts, and poorly maintained infrastructure. The question arises: If public transportation is supposed to be a solution, why does it so often feel like a problem?  
      
    Another significant issue is safety. Crime rates on buses, subways, and train platforms have become a growing concern, with riders facing theft, assault, and harassment. Many transit systems lack sufficient security measures, leaving passengers vulnerable. The psychological stress of commuting through unsafe environments can be overwhelming, particularly for women, the elderly, and other vulnerable populations. Despite these risks, officials frequently downplay crime statistics, insisting that public transit remains a safe option.

    The Unification of Germany had a significant impact on the whole country, the empire, and the decades after that. It was the inauguration for Germany into the 20th century, and the dreaded World War I and World War II that were partially consequences of that unification. 
    On January 18th, 1871, in the Palace of Versailles in France, Germany was lawfully merged into the German Empire, a Prussia-dominated country state with federal components. Throughout the Franco-Prussian War, princes of German countries assembled there to declare King Wilhelm I of Prussia Emperor of the German Empire. 
    The Treaty of Verdun in 843 developed a confederated kingdom of German princedoms that had existed for over 1,000 years. Even so, till 1800, there was no development of a German country identity, owing to the independent nature of baronial states; most occupants of the Holy Roman Empire, beyond those straight governed by the emperor, determined themselves mainly with their prince, instead of with the Empire as a whole. Kleinstaaterei, or "small-statery," happened called a result of this practice. Improvements in transport and interactions brought these areas closer together by the nineteenth century. 
    Today, you can learn more about what made this unification so special, and how it led to other events in history.
