Privatisering is een simpel idee: publiek eigendom overzetten naar private eigenaarschap levert krachtigere prikkels voor managers om efficienter te werken en te innoveren. Personalisering is net zo simpel: door gebruikers centraal te zetten binnen de dienstverlening, door het mogelijk te maken dat klanten deelnemers worden in het ontwerp en de logistiek, zal dienstverlening veel effectiever zijn doordat het miljoenen mensen mobiliseert om actief medeproducenten te zijn van diensten die voor hen van belang zijn.
'Charles Webster Leadbeater and the Inner Life' (Great Minds Series, Vol. 9)-2017 Revised, Updated and Reformatted Edition-is a study about one of the greatest and most gifted clairvoyants the world has seen. As Leadbeater's gift of clairvoyance is the center point of this study, two book reviews have been added that are of equal importance, Shafica Karagulla's study 'The Chakras' (1989) which was done in collaboration with Dora van Gelder, and Dora van Gelder's own first person report, 'The Real Life of Fairies' (1999). Both books were published by the Theosophical Publishing House in Wheaton (Quest Books) which also published all of Leadbeater's writings. Clairvoyance is an extraordinary human gift, and according to the author of the present book, it should be recognized officially within modern science, for this would yield a wealth of information hitherto unknown to most of our scientists, while the lay public is perhaps more open to recognize such talents. In fact, polls in the United States have shown that 70% of the population believe in psychic powers, and only 30% are among the 'skeptics' which is quite a revealing fact. Leadbeater was not born with it, but, as the short biography reveals, learnt is through a very developed yogic master from India. This was different for Dora van Gelder who was a natural clairvoyant from childhood, who had an extraordinary speciality. The very reason why she published the book with Karagulla, an M.D., about the chakras, was that she had the unique ability to make a clairvoyant medical diagnosis, perhaps for the first time in modern history. While today such gifts are more widely known and accepted within our larger scientific paradigm, this was not the case yet at their lifetime. The book comes with extensive book reviews and quotes, and comments, as well as illustrations.
Charles Webster Leadbeater ( 16 February 1854 - 1 March 1934) was a member of the Theosophical Society, author on occult subjects and co-initiator with J. I. Wedgwood of the Liberal Catholic Church. Originally a priest of the Church of England, his interest in spiritualism caused him to end his affiliation with Anglicanism in favour of the Theosophical Society, where he became an associate of Annie Besant. He became a high-ranking officer of the society, but resigned in 1906 amid a sex scandal. Accusations of his detractors were never proven, and after Annie Besant became President of the Society, he was readmitted in 1908. Leadbeater went on to write over 69 books and pamphlets as well as maintain regular speaking engagements. His efforts on behalf of the society assured his status as one of its leading members until his death in 1934. Early life: Leadbeater was born in Stockport, Cheshire, in 1854. His father, Charles Sr., was born in Lincoln and his mother Emma was born in Liverpool. He was an only child. By 1861 the family had relocated to London, where his father was a railway contractor's clerk. In 1862, when Leadbeater was eight years old, his father died from tuberculosis. Four years later a bank in which the family's savings were invested became bankrupt. Without finances for college, Leadbeater sought work soon after graduating from high school in order to provide for his mother and himself. He worked at various clerical jobs.During the evenings he became largely self-educated. For example, he studied astronomy and had a 12-inch reflector telescope (which was very expensive at the time) to observe the heavens at night. He also studied French, Latin and Greek. An uncle, his father's brother-in-law, was the well-known Anglican cleric William Wolfe Capes. By his uncle's influence, Leadbeater was ordained an Anglican priest in 1879 in Farnham by the Bishop of Winchester. By 1881, he was living with his widowed mother at Bramshott in a cottage which his uncle had built, where he is listed as "Curate of Bramshott". He was an active priest and teacher who was remembered later as "a bright and cheerful and kindhearted man". About this time, after reading about the s ances of reputed medium Daniel Dunglas Home (1833-1886), Leadbeater developed an active interest in spiritualism................
