From Self To Cosmic Consciousness - Richard Maurice Bucke - Bog

Bag om From Self To Cosmic Consciousness

From Self to Cosmic Consciousness is a book written by Richard Maurice Bucke, a Canadian psychiatrist and mystic, first published in 1901. The book explores the concept of cosmic consciousness, which Bucke defines as a higher level of consciousness that transcends individuality and connects the individual with the universe as a whole. Bucke describes his own personal experience of cosmic consciousness, which he claims occurred in 1872 while he was walking home from work. He felt a sudden and intense illumination, during which he perceived the interconnectedness of all things and experienced a sense of unity with the universe. The book also includes accounts of other individuals who have experienced cosmic consciousness, including Walt Whitman, who Bucke believed was the embodiment of cosmic consciousness. Bucke argues that cosmic consciousness is a natural and evolutionary development of human consciousness, and that it has been experienced by individuals throughout history, although it has often been misunderstood or dismissed as madness. He suggests that the development of cosmic consciousness is essential for the future evolution of humanity, and that it will lead to a more harmonious and enlightened world.Overall, From Self to Cosmic Consciousness is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of consciousness and its potential for transformation. It offers insights into the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of human experience, and invites readers to consider the possibility of transcending the limitations of the self and connecting with a higher level of consciousness.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind, by Richard Maurice Bucke.
