SOME GLIMPSES OF OCCULTISM
The
Convention of the American Section of the Theosophical Society at Chicago,
Illinois, in September, 1902, at which I had the privilege of being present,
was for me the starting-point of a two years’ lecturing tour throughout the
United States in the interests of that Section of the Society – a tour
patiently and laboriously planned and worked out down to the minutest detail
with loving and painstaking care by its late and indefatigable General
Secretary, Mr. Alexander Fullerton.
It
was determined that before visiting the Branches in the far West I should spend
six months in Chicago, delivering a course of twenty-six lectures in Steinway
Hall on the Sunday evenings, and speaking at the Branch meetings during the
week. This course of lectures was designed to put before the public in broad
outline some of the principal teachings of Theosophy, and also to help men to
realize something of its scope and comprehensiveness by showing how wonderfully
all else is included in it – how it is the mighty truth underlying all systems
of religious thought, even those which differ as much on the physical plane as
do Buddhism, Christianity and the Ancient Mysteries, and how also it offers the
only rational and coherent explanation of the (Page 10) phenomena connected
with clairvoyance, telepathy, mesmerism, spiritualism, dreams and apparitions.
The titles of the lectures were as follows:
