The Cosmic Consciousness Of Walt Whitman - Richard Maurice Bucke - Bog

""The Cosmic Consciousness Of Walt Whitman"" is a book written by Richard Maurice Bucke, which explores the spiritual and mystical experiences of the famous American poet, Walt Whitman. Bucke, a Canadian psychiatrist, was deeply interested in the concept of cosmic consciousness, which he defined as a state of heightened awareness and spiritual enlightenment. In this book, he argues that Whitman was one of the few individuals who had achieved this state of consciousness, and that his poetry was a reflection of this mystical experience. Bucke draws on Whitman's own writings, as well as the accounts of those who knew him, to provide a detailed analysis of his spiritual journey. He also discusses the broader implications of cosmic consciousness, and how it can lead to a more profound understanding of the nature of reality and the human experience. This book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of spirituality and literature, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the works of Walt Whitman or the concept of cosmic 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.
