This classic book on mystical experience was originally published in 1901.
Bucke's personal experience with divine illumination led to his theory that we are witnessing a continued psychical revolution of the individual.
He believed that individuals like Buddha, Jesus, Spinoza, Whitman, and others were the forerunners of the beings who will eventually inhabit the earth.
