Man Visible and Invisible

• Understand the colour-emotion correspondence system Leadbeater presents: the specific associations between particular colours (as he describes seeing them clairvoyantly) and particular emotional states, thought qualities, and levels of spiritual development — and how this system provides a practical key for reading the quality of consciousness reflected in the aura
• Grasp the structure of the multiple bodies: how Leadbeater describes the etheric, astral, and mental bodies as distinct vehicles — each corresponding to a specific plane of existence, each serving specific functions in the total human constitution, and each visible to clairvoyant perception with specific distinguishing characteristics
• Recognise the developmental progression: how the illustrations Leadbeater provides document the changes in the aura that accompany spiritual development — from the murky, irregular patterns of the undeveloped aura through the brightening and expanding patterns of the student to the magnificent, organised luminosity of the Master's aura
• Learn the dynamic properties of the aura: how the aura changes in response to different activities (meditation, emotional states, physical exercise, sleep), how it is affected by the proximity of other people's auras, and what the mechanisms are through which the aura radiates its characteristic energy to the surrounding environment
• Appreciate the historical significance: how Man Visible and Invisible established a detailed visual vocabulary for the human aura that has influenced not only Theosophical literature but the broader New Age understanding of the energy field — and how Leadbeater's specific claims about aural observation compare to contemporary scientific research into biofields
