Evolution and Occultism

""Evolution and Occultism"" is a book written by Annie Besant, a prominent Theosophist and women's rights activist. The book explores the connection between evolution and occultism, examining the ways in which spiritual and mystical beliefs intersect with scientific theories of evolution. Besant argues that the study of evolution can be enhanced by incorporating occult knowledge and practices, such as meditation and astral projection. She also delves into the spiritual implications of evolution, exploring the idea that human beings are evolving towards a higher spiritual consciousness. The book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between science and spirituality, and offers a unique perspective on the evolution of humanity.1913.
