Cosmic Consciousness - Richard Maurice Bucke

Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind is a book written by Richard Maurice Bucke, a Canadian psychiatrist and philosopher. In this book, Bucke explores the concept of cosmic consciousness, which he defines as a higher form of consciousness that transcends the individual ego and connects the individual with the universe as a whole. Bucke argues that cosmic consciousness is a natural evolutionary development of the human mind, and that it has been experienced by individuals throughout history, including religious figures such as Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed, as well as artists, poets, and philosophers. He also suggests that cosmic consciousness can be achieved through various means, such as meditation, prayer, and spiritual practices. Throughout the book, Bucke provides examples of individuals who have experienced cosmic consciousness, as well as his own personal experiences. He also discusses the implications of cosmic consciousness for humanity, including the potential for a new era of spiritual and social awakening. First published in 1901, Cosmic Consciousness has since become a classic in the fields of psychology, philosophy, and spirituality, and has influenced many thinkers and writers in these areas.1905.
