When, about 1850, the phenomenon of "table-turning" was exciting the attention of Europe and ushering in the other phenomena since known as "spiritist", Allan Kardec quickly divined the real nature of those phenomena, as evidence of the existence of an order of relationships hitherto suspected rather than known-viz., those which unite the visible and invisible worlds. Foreseeing the vast importance, to science and to religion, of such an extension of the field of human observation, he entered at once upon a careful investigation of the new phenomena: "It is a most curious thing! My conversations with the invisible intelligences have completely revolutionised my ideas and convictions. The instructions thus transmitted constitute an entirely new theory of human life, duty, and destiny, that appears to me to be perfectly rational and coherent, admirably lucid and consoling, and intensely interesting. I have a great mind to publish these conversations in a book; for it seems to me that what interests me so deeply might very likely prove interesting to others."

Henry Steel Olcott (1832-1907) was an American military officer, journalist, lawyer, Freemason and the co-founder and first president of the Theosophical Society.He was the first well-known American of European ancestry to make a formal conversion to Buddhism. His subsequent actions as president of the Theosophical Society helped create a renaissance in the study of Buddhism and Oriental religions.On the evening of January 14, 1882, Olcott delivered a public lecture on "The Spirit of the Zoroastrian Religion" at Bombay Town Hall. The broad wall of the hall was packed with educated Parsis, with nearly all the influential men of their community present. Olcotts arrival, as the newspapers reported, was greeted "with prolonged and thunderous applause," and all the salient points of his lecture were applauded loudly.We now offer our readers the full text of that lecture, as published in 1885 in the volume Theosophy, Religion and Occult Science.These reflections and considerations by Olcott undoubtedly constitute one of the most interesting expositions of Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrian spirituality.
