Thought-Forms is a book by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, which is a study on the nature and power of thoughts. It has been translated into more than five languages.[1]
The authors state that thoughts have two effects: "a radiating vibration and a floating form".
Thought forms are divided into three classes:
The effect of music, emotions, and colors on thought forms is also studied in the book.
The effect of the music of Felix Mendelssohn (No. 9 of his "Songs without words"), Charles Gounod (Soldiers Chorus from "Faust") and Richard Wagner (Overture to "The Meistersingers") is studied. The music of Wagner produced a "marvellous mountain-range" on the thought forms.
