The Real and the Unreal

The Real and the Unreal by Annie Besant is a philosophical book that explores the nature of reality and the existence of the supernatural. The book is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the concept of reality and how it is perceived by different people, while the second part delves into the world of the supernatural and the occult.In the first part of the book, Besant discusses the different ways in which reality is perceived by different individuals, and how this perception shapes their understanding of the world. She examines the role of the senses, the mind, and the emotions in shaping our perception of reality, and argues that our understanding of reality is limited by our own subjective experiences.In the second part of the book, Besant explores the world of the supernatural and the occult, and discusses the existence of psychic powers, ghosts, and other supernatural phenomena. She draws on her own experiences as a member of the Theosophical Society, and argues that these phenomena are real and can be scientifically studied.Overall, The Real and the Unreal is a thought-provoking book that challenges readers to question their understanding of reality and to consider the possibility of the supernatural. It is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy, spirituality, and the paranormal.1923.
