Occult Chemistry: Clairvoyant Observations on the Chemical Elements

A scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into a unique blend of spiritualism and scientific inquiry, exploring the structure of chemical elements through the lens of clairvoyant observations. The authors aim to bridge the gap between traditional physical science and occult knowledge, presenting a radical view on atomic theory. The opening of this volume introduces the background and significance of the research conducted by the authors. It sets the stage for understanding the connection between the atoms of chemical elements and their internal structures, as observed through clairvoyant faculties. The narrative recounts the initial experiments where Mr. Leadbeater, under the guidance of the editor A. P. Sinnett, explores hydrogen and progressively more complex elements, finding astoundingly detailed structures that correspond to modern understandings of atomic weights. The text emphasizes the significance of these findings and positions occult observations as a potential complement to traditional scientific methods, suggesting a future where both approaches integrate more fully.
