Masters and the PathAugust 30, 2006 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
To Whom This May Concern,
An open mind and heart, plus the desire to greatly enrich one's life, are all you need to bring to this book - then prepare yourself for some rather startling truly marvelous results. Masters and the Path provides the means to be our own instruments in dramatically and positively changing our lives. I read this book many years ago (borrowed), and have always kept an eye open looking for an original hardcover copy for myself. I was very excited to find a source, Kessinger Publishing's Rare Prints, to order through Amazon (albeit a reprint). Overall, the book is a clear and practical guide while simultaneously being inspiring and uplifting.
Sincerely,
Elaine McCulloh Kessinger e.kessinger@att.net
A Stunning Accomplishment!September 5, 2005 4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Breathtaking in scope and monumentally inspirational, it filled me with such awe and respect for those who have gone the distance and have earned the respectful right to be called "master."
An Outstanding WorkAugust 26, 2005 5 out of 8 found this review helpful
This is a must read for anyone interested in higher spiritual attainment. This book was lovingly given to us from one of the leading Theosophists of his day. Outstanding!
A wonderful set of insights from a pioneer of the New Age.April 6, 2001 8 out of 10 found this review helpful
CW Leadbeater (CWL) was one of those early Theosophists who has had a profound influence on New Age thinking and Spiritual Philosophies. Several of his books were "simply" written and can be considered as landmarks for introducing new (if not ancient) ideas into the West. The Masters and the Path was written some years after the time of CWL's "falling out" with parts of the Theosophical Society, and indeed many theosophists even today have not fully forgiven him.
However, CWL had a curious mixture of eccentric and profound spiritual qualities, and it was the latter that shone through in this particular book. What is timeless about this book is not (for once) portrayal of new aspects of knowledge as he did in his "Chakras", or "The Astral Plane" or "Man, Visible and Invisible", which were all good books. The Masters and the Path is the only book by CWL that gives a real insight into the man's spirituality, and his motives in his spiritual growth.
In my view, the energies driving this book, especially in its first half, show the author in a state close to initiation at some level. Hence, his sharing this part of himself is a priceless glimpse for any genuine student of the Path. Growth in understanding as distinct from growth in knowledge comes through this book.
It is now over 70 years since CWL's passing, and perhaps 80 years since he penned the words of this book. CWL will be remembered for his contraversy; his clairvoyance that was under scrutiny by sceptics, his misdemeanors and his "discovery" of Krishnamurti. However, I think this book above all of his others, shows his truest contribution to the Spiritual Cause.
