C. W. Leadbeater, Theosophist

Anyone with even a passing interest in the weird has heard of that famous eccentric Madame Blavatsky and the Theosophical Society.

But less attention is paid to her interesting comrade, C. W. Leadbeater.

Read his pretty short book THE LIFE AFTER DEATH here.

Wikipedia says that Theosophy maintains the idea that the world as humans perceive it is illusory. So we're in The Matrix. The Wachowski brothers were right, before they became the Wachowski sisters.

Under no circumstances to be confused with H.W. Ledbetter a.k.a. Lead Belly.

Also, apparently The Other Side can't afford decent page margins or leading. Good grief, what a badly set book that is.
