"Thought-Forms" by Annie Besant and C. W. Leadbeater is a study that asks the reader to consider that thoughts are forces that shape what we experience. Written in the early 1900s, the book suggests our thoughts have substance and create figures of influence. The writers use descriptions and images to help the reader visualize concepts to show thoughts can transmit energy into the world and affect the person thinking as well as what is around them. The book starts with the idea that science is getting closer to proving that thought is a major player in our experience. They propose that we can see thought-forms, particularly in relaxed and meditative states. The writers use personal stories and a tone of scientific authority to give the reader a look into how thoughts are both ideas and something that lives and affects reality according to the emotion behind it.
