| Summary | "The Astral Plane" by C. W. Leadbeater is a theosophical manual written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide a comprehensive overview and clarification of the astral plane—specifically its scenery, inhabitants, and the phenomena associated with it—making the often complex and esoteric concepts accessible to a broader audience. The book discusses various entities that inhabit this plane, such as living beings, spirits of the deceased, and elementals, thereby delving into the intricacies of life beyond the physical realm. The opening of "The Astral Plane" introduces the purpose of the manual and establishes the foundational understanding of this alternate realm, known in Sanskrit as Kâmaloka. It emphasizes the reality of the astral plane and its significance in the study of Theosophy. Leadbeater discusses the different subdivisions of the astral plane, describing the nature of vision and perception in this dimension, and hints at the complexities and challenges encountered by those who seek to explore or experience it. Throughout this portion, he highlights the diversity of life forms found within the astral realm and sets the stage for a detailed exploration of its characteristics in the chapters to come.
