The Ancient Wisdom

The Ancient Wisdom

The Ancient Wisdom is a book by Annie Besant.

In this book, Besant introduces and explains the Physical plane, Astral plane, Mental plane and other planes of existence.

"George Farthing" has criticized the book, because Besant has introduced new terms like "Etheric body" into the theosophical literature, which were not used by Blavatsky or the theosophical Mahatmas.
