Richard M. Burke's astonishing treatise on the human mind discusses
and attempts to explain mystical experiences in the context of
evolutionary change in the brain. During his mid-thirties, Burke
underwent a feeling of revelation and felt distinctly enlightened
for a short time. Although the period of enlightenment passed, it
had an immense impact upon Burke's outlook, steering his personal
and professional life in a directions he had never before
envisioned. He found the experience a permanent boon to his
well-being, and was able to work and enjoy life more than he
formerly had. This book attempts to explain the various mystical
feelings of enlightenment which humans have experienced over the
millennia of recorded history. Burke's opinion is that these
phenomena are becoming commoner over time, and represent an
evolution of the human mind. He postulates that these experiences
will become commoner as centuries go by, and become accepted as an
ordinary, then eventually as a necessary part of human life.
