Geographic settings varied from Atlantis to India to South America and other sites of ancient civilizations, which were described graphically. The individual characters were assigned names from astronomy or mythology, which were carried across all the interlinking narratives. Each past life was presented in the form of a narrative describing personalities, relationships, and deeds. Most of the people purportedly surrounding Alcyone during these past lives had reincarnated to be present with him in his life as Jiddu Krishnamurti. Leadbeater used his clairvoyant abilities to examine the past lives of Krishnamurti and others, going back as far as 22,662 BCE. The series was entitled "Rents in the Veil of Time," and each article had a subtitle like "The Lives of Alcyone" or "The Lives of Orion."Īlcyone was the "star name" given to young Jiddu Krishnamurti by Charles Webster Leadbeater, author of these articles. Lives of Alcyone, or The Lives of Alcyone, was the title given to the books derived from a series of articles published in The Theosophist beginning in April, 1910.
