The Monad

Leadbeater's essay centres on the Monad, which he presents as the spiritual core of a human being. It traces how this inner essence develops as the soul advances, how it relates to the physical body, and the different levels of consciousness it moves through. Drawing on Theosophical teaching, he also considers the Monad's connection to the divine and the course it is believed to follow. The piece will appeal to readers interested in Theosophy, spiritual philosophy and the nature of the human soul. This edition reproduces an essay from the collection Monad and Other Essays Upon the Higher Consciousness.
