Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating subject of the evolution of the soul, commencing with the notion that humanity emerged from lower animal forms, a theory first explored by Darwin. The author questions Darwin's theory of the 'survival of the fittest', proposing instead an idea of accumulation of experience. This accumulation of experience begins at the most basic level and gradually develops over millions of years, with the soul, latent or existing in a primitive state, acquiring mental and physical mechanisms. The author daringly speculates beyond the known historical timeline, exploring concepts of mind, soul, and spirit, and the ultimate goal of spiritualization and perfection. They draw connections between the author's theories and the historical and literary context of occultism - a study long regarded with suspicion and fear, but one that has witnessed a resurgence in interest in recent years. The author navigates the complexities of this resurgence, contrasting the true essence of occultism with the impostures that have plagued its reputation. Ultimately, this book presents profound insights into the journey of the soul, offering fresh perspectives on the evolution of humanity and the potential for spiritual growth.
