From 1895 to 1933 occultist C.W. Leadbeater and Annie Besant made a series of discoveries about the nature of atomic particles that physicists ignored for decades. The reason: Lead beater and Besant had conducted their research not in a laboratory but my means of extrasensory perception. They put themselves into a trance and then selected the atom of a particular element to examine in the mind’s eye.

As early as 1895 the two mystics published drawings of their vision of hydrogen atoms, the simplest that exist in nature. The pair saw the atom as a transparent, egg-shaped body that contained six smaller bodies in rotation. And inside each of the smaller bodies were three even smaller, heart shaped particles. Leadbeater and Besant called them the “ultimate physical atoms,” and said they were joined together by “lines of force”

At Odds with Scientists

At that time scientists believed that the hydrogen atom consisted of only two particles: a nucleus, consisting of a proton and an electron in orbit around it. By the 1920’s this theory had been modified. The electron was thought to be less a solid particle than an electrically charged sphere with extremely erratic behavior.

Yet this theoretical development did not help substantiate the claims of Besant and Leadbeater. They had described six distinct particles, not two.

Not until 1964, when two American physicists of minute objects name quarks, did the description the two physics had given 69 years earlier begin to make sense. But it would take more research in physics, and a dash of common sense, before the truth of their vision became apparent.

Before Their Time: In 1895 two English occultists employed extrasensory perception and drew (below) what they called “ultimate physical atoms”

The two kinds of atom – positive and negative – consisted of currents of energy that formed spiral whorls. The discovery’s full significance was not acknowledged until the 1980’s.

A True Likeness

In the early 1980’s, Dr. Stephen M. Phillips, a physicists at Cambridge University in England realized that Leadbeater and Besant would not have “seen” a single, solitary hydrogen atom. Hydrogen atoms occur only in pairs, as a hydrogen molecule.

Phillips concluded that the transparent sphere that Leadbeater and Besant reported was the orbit of the two electrons in the hydrogen molecule. The six inner particles – linked, the psychics said, in two triangles – were the three quarks that make up the protons at the centers of the two atoms. Te three “ultimate physical atoms” within them were subquarks; Phillips himself had recently helped to prove their existence.

The “lines of force” linking the “ultimate atoms” corresponded to the magnetic fields that bind subquarks together. Even the diagrams Leadbeater and Besant drew of the relations between their “ultimate atoms” were strikingly similar to the ones physicists use when representing the inner structure of quarks. The psychics’ accounts of the atomic structure of many other elements more complex than hydrogen were similarly confirmed.

Phillips regards the findings of Leadbeater and Besant as a conclusive proof of extrasensory perception. As points out, they could hardly have been making it up.
