Invisible Helpers

2019 Reprint of 1915 Edition. According to the teachings of Theosophy, Invisible Helpers are "... those who are able to help in a non-physical manner those who are in need of aid, whether the living or those who have just died.." as well as those who help guide sufferers during the death transition. "In his book Invisible Helpers Leadbeater recounts numerous cases of people in distress who have been "miraculously" saved or helped by mysterious beings mistaken for "angels" but who were actually living people who were able consciously to assist others while they are in their astral bodies and their physical bodies are asleep. In many of the accounts, he referred to these as the "band of helpers" who were disciples of ADEPTS and who had the capacity to help even when out of their bodies. Leadbeater wrote that one can prepare oneself to be an invisible helper by developing certain qualities needed in treading the Path to discipleship, particularly single-mindedness, perfect self-control, calmness, knowledge, unselfishness and love."
