The Self And Its Sheaths

The Self And Its Sheaths: Four Lectures (1895) is a philosophical book written by Annie Wood Besant. The book contains a series of lectures given by the author on the topic of the human self and its various layers or sheaths. Besant explores the concept of the self as a multi-layered entity, consisting of not just the physical body but also various subtle bodies or sheaths that surround it. The author delves into the nature of each sheath, its functions and how it relates to the other sheaths. Besant also discusses the process of spiritual evolution and how it involves the purification and refinement of each sheath. The book is a comprehensive guide to understanding the complex nature of the human self and its spiritual journey towards enlightenment.
