Vegetarianism and Occultism
Book •
C.
W. Leadbeater's 'Vegetarianism and Occultism' presents occult and Theosophical arguments for adopting a vegetarian diet as part of spiritual development.
Leadbeater explains how food affects the finer bodies (astral, mental) and contends that flesh foods build coarser matter, hindering clairvoyant faculties and moral progress.
He addresses both self-interested and altruistic reasons, asserting that abstaining from killing aligns one with evolutionary law and lessens harm to other beings.
The essay links dietary choices to the quality of subtle vehicles and post-death experiences, thus framing vegetarianism as both practical and ethical for aspirants.
It has been influential among students of Theosophy and Western esotericism debating diet and purity.
