About This Book

The authors present a systematic account of how mental states are said to produce visible, colored forms on a subtler plane, explaining mechanisms of vibration, form, and the symbolism of colors and shapes. They group thought-forms into classes, provide illustrated examples corresponding to emotions and intentions such as affection, anger, fear, ambition, and devotional states, and describe forms arising in meditation and in response to music. Interleaved are theoretical sketches about cosmic correspondences and moral reflections urging awareness of thought-power and its effects.
