Résumé

Résumé : " The term ` occultism' is one which has been much misunderstood. In the mind of the ignorant it was, even recently, synonymous with magic, and its students were supposed to be practitioners of the black art, veiled in flowing robes of scarlet covered with cabalistic signs, sitting amidst uncanny surroundings with a black cat as a familiar, compounding unholy decoctions by the aid of satanic evocations. Even now, and among those whom education has raised above such superstition as this, there still remains a good deal of misapprehension. For them its derivation from the Latin word occultus ought to explain at once that it is the science of the hidden; but they often regard it contemptuously as nonsensical and unpractical, as connected with dreams and fortune-telling, with hysteria and necromancy, with the search for the elixir of life and the philosopher' s stone. Students, who should know better, perpetually speak as though the hidden side of things were intentionally concealed, as though knowledge with regard to it ought to be in the hands of all men, but was being deliberately withheld by the caprice or selfishness of a few; whereas the fact is that nothing is or can be hidden from us except by our own limitations, and that for every man as he evolves the world grows wider and wider, because he is able to see more and more of its grandeur and its loveliness..."
Biographie : Charles Webster Leadbeater fut prêtre anglais. Puis il fit à Londres une rencontre déterminante avec le médium Helena Petrovna Blavatski. S'inspirant de la philosophie occulte des premiers Rose-Croix, des philosophes médiévaux et de l'étude de la mystique indienne et des religions orientales, Helena Petrovna Blavatski l'incita alors à rejoindre la société théosophique. Il en fut naturellement un des membres les plus éminents.
