Description
Book SynopsisWhat do ideas look like? This clairvoyant view of the shape, colour and atmospheric effect of mental energy includes black-and-white drawings and colour plates to convey a graphic representation of the power of thought.Prominent Theosophists, Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater, were pioneers in asserting that thoughts are, indeed, things. Originally released in 1901, THOUGHT FORMS is a seminal work on what thoughts look like. It had an impact far beyond the circle of its primary readers and greatly influenced leading artists such as Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky.Simple in style and clearly written, THOUGHT FORMS is a classic of the Theosophical tradition that has as much to say in our own day as it did a century ago. It lucidly sets forth a way to conceive of the invisible realms within and around us, with implications both for how we view the world and how we act in it.Discussion includes the meaning of colour, thought forms built by music and the nature of helpful thoughts.
