The seven lectures presented here were delivered in New York for the purpose of presenting the testimony of science as to the relation of matter and of consciousness; to enable the hearers to observe the identical manifestation of these relations and of certain basic laws in successively higher states of being, and thus to bring to them a realization of the universality of the evolutionary process and its actuality; and to deal somewhat with the nature of the expanded states of consciousness and the enlarged life toward which all mankind is traveling. They thus were intended to serve as an introduction to the more detailed study and application of the laws of life and human enfoldment generally included in the term of "occultism." Chapters: The Field of Evolution; The Evolution of Substance; The Evolution of Form, or Group Evolution; The Evolution of Man, the Thinker; The Evolution of Consciousness; The Goal of Evolution; Cosmic Evolution.
