In this lecture Dr Baker looks at the subject of atavism, how past influences of previous lives impinge upon the present life. This is a little explored area in esoteric studies. He explores the atavistic influences of both Nations and Individuals, the role of the Permanent Atom, and the relationship between atavism and mental illness. This lecture includes a discussion on the idea of our cosmic bank account, a reservoir that can both donate and receive energies for the person who treads the Path. (61 min)
