THOUGHT-FORMS/COMPLETE
THOUGHT-FORMS
BY ANNIE BESANT
AND C.W. LEADBEATER
FOREWORD
The text of this little book is the joint work of Mr Leadbeater
and myself; some of it has already appeared as an article in Lucifer (now
the Theosophical Review), but the greater part of it is new. The
drawing and painting of the Thought-Forms observed by Mr Leadbeater or by
myself, or by both of us together, has been done by three friends—Mr John
Varley, Mr Prince, and Miss Macfarlane, to each of whom we tender our cordial
thanks. To paint in earth's dull colours the forms clothed in the living light
of other worlds is a hard and thankless task; so much the more gratitude is due
to those who have attempted it. They needed coloured fire, and had only ground
earths. We have also to thank Mr F. Bligh Bond for allowing us to use his essay
on Vibration Figures, and some of his exquisite drawings. Another
friend, who sent us some notes and a few drawings, insists on remaining
anonymous, so we can only send our thanks to him with similar anonymity.
It is our earnest hope—as it is our belief—that this little
book will serve as a striking moral lesson to every reader, making him realise
the nature and power of his thoughts, acting as a stimulus to the noble, a curb
on the base. With this belief and hope we send it on its way.
ANNIE BESANT.
