The Crest-Wave of Evolution A Course of Lectures in History, Given to the Graduates' Class in the Raja-Yoga College, Point Loma, in the College-Year 1918-19   By: (1879-1937)

Book cover

The Crest-Wave of Evolution by Kenneth Morris is a thought-provoking and enlightening book that delves into the depths of human history and evolution. Originally a series of lectures given to the graduates' class in the Raja-Yoga College, Point Loma, during the academic year of 1918-19, this book offers a unique and comprehensive perspective on the subject.

One of the standout features of this book is its meticulously researched content. Morris seamlessly blends historical facts with spiritual insights to present a detailed analysis of the evolution of humanity. His vast knowledge of different cultures, their myths, and their religious traditions adds a rich depth to his arguments. Each lecture is filled with fascinating anecdotes and references that make the subject matter incredibly engaging.

Moreover, Morris's writing style is a true delight. His prose flows effortlessly, making complex ideas and concepts accessible to readers of all backgrounds. He maintains a conversational tone, which keeps the lectures from feeling like a dry academic exercise. The author's passion for the subject matter shines through in every chapter, making it easy for readers to become fully absorbed in the material.

Throughout the book, Morris expounds on the idea of evolution as an ongoing spiritual journey. He argues that the evolution of our consciousness is just as important, if not more so, than our physical evolution. This central theme adds a refreshing and thought-provoking perspective to the concept of evolution, expanding beyond simple Darwinian principles.

One of the slight drawbacks of the book is its dense and sometimes complex nature. The depth of Morris's research, while commendable, can occasionally make certain passages feel overwhelming. This complexity may require some readers to spend extra time digesting the information or referring back to earlier sections to fully grasp the author's points.

Nevertheless, The Crest-Wave of Evolution is a truly remarkable book that challenges conventional thinking about evolution and offers a fresh perspective on human history. Kenneth Morris's expertise in blending historical knowledge with spiritual insights creates a captivating narrative that will leave readers contemplating the depths of their own consciousness. This book is a valuable addition to any intellectual's library and a great resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the human journey.
