From Self To Cosmic Consciousness

By Richard Maurice Bucke

Book Overview

""From Self To Cosmic Consciousness"" is a philosophical and spiritual book written by Richard Maurice Bucke. It explores the concept of cosmic consciousness, which refers to a higher state of awareness and understanding that transcends individual ego and connects one to the universe as a whole. Bucke argues that this state of consciousness is not limited to a select few, but is attainable by anyone who is willing to undergo a transformative experience. He draws upon the experiences of various historical figures, including Buddha, Jesus, and Walt Whitman, to illustrate the potential for cosmic consciousness in humanity. The book also delves into the scientific and psychological aspects of this phenomenon, exploring the role of brain function and the impact of meditation and other spiritual practices. Overall, ""From Self To Cosmic Consciousness"" offers a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the human potential for spiritual growth and transcendence.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind, by Richard Maurice Bucke.
