Julian Flanders is a Londoner by birth and has spent a lifetime involved with books: reading, proof reading, editing and writing them. His specialist areas include mind/body/spirit, history, philosophy, politics, music and sport. As a firebrand youth, he often roused the good citizens of the city at election time, knocking on doors to discuss the latest issues. Now living in the countryside, he has more time for reflection, reading, writing and walking the dog.
C.W. Leadbeater (1854-1934) was a member of the Theosophical Society and an influential author on occult subjects. His most celebrated titles include Astral Plane and Devachanic Plane and The Chakras.
