Leer Occult Chemistry: Clairvoyant Observations on the Chemical Elements online gratis (en inglés)

"Occult Chemistry: Clairvoyant Observations on the Chemical Elements" by Annie Besant et al. is a book first published in 1908. Written by two prominent Theosophical Society members, it claims that chemical elements can be observed through clairvoyant vision using the "third eye." The work presents illustrated descriptions of atoms' supposed etheric counterparts based on observations conducted between 1895 and 1933. Critics have dismissed it as pseudoscience, though it remains a curious intersection of occultism and early atomic theory. (This is an automatically generated summary.)

The deep interest and importance of the research which this book describes will best be appreciated if introduced by an account of the circumstances out of which it arose. The first edition, consisting mainly of articles reprinted from the Theosophist, dealt at once with the later phases of the research in a way which, though intelligible to the occult student, must have been rather bewildering to the ordinary reader. These later phases, however, endow the earlier results with a significance that in the beginning could only be vaguely conjectured. I am the better entitled to perform the task that has been assigned to me--that of preparing the present edition--by reason of the fact that it was in my presence and at my instigation that the first efforts were made to penetrate the mystery previously enshrouding the ultimate molecule of matter.

I remember the occasion vividly. Mr. Leadbeater was then staying at my house, and his clairvoyant faculties were frequently exercised for the benefit of myself, my wife and the theosophical friends around us. I had discovered that these faculties, exercised in the appropriate direction, were ultra-microscopic in their power. It occurred to me once to ask Mr. Leadbeater if he thought he could actually see a molecule of physical matter. He was quite willing to try, and I suggested a molecule of gold as one which he might try to observe. He made the appropriate effort, and emerged from it saying the molecule in question was far too elaborate a structure to be described. It evidently consisted of an enormous number of some smaller atoms, quite too many to count; quite too complicated in their arrangement to be comprehended. It struck me at once that this might be due to the fact that gold was a heavy metal of high atomic weight, and tha
