Cosmic Consciousness

Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind is a book written by Richard Maurice Bucke, a Canadian psychiatrist, in 1901. The book explores the concept of cosmic consciousness, which Bucke defines as a higher level of consciousness that transcends the individual self and connects one to the universe. Bucke argues that cosmic consciousness is not a new phenomenon, but rather a natural and evolutionary stage in the development of the human mind. He examines the experiences of various historical figures, such as Buddha, Jesus, and Walt Whitman, who he believes have attained cosmic consciousness. The book is divided into three parts. The first part describes the characteristics of cosmic consciousness and how it differs from ordinary consciousness. The second part consists of case studies of individuals who have experienced cosmic consciousness, including Bucke himself. The third part examines the implications of cosmic consciousness for humanity, including its potential to bring about a new era of peace and enlightenment. Overall, Cosmic Consciousness is a seminal work in the field of spirituality and psychology, and continues to be widely read and discussed today.1905.
