Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic study in the evolution of the human mind is a pioneering work as valuable today as when it was first published in 1901. At that time, it was enthusiastically acclaimed by both William James and P. D. Ouspensky. It has long been accepted as a landmark in the field of mysticism. In reviewing the mental and spiritual activity of the human race, Dr. Bucke discovers that at intervals certain individuals have appeared who are gifted with the power of transcendent realization—or Illumination. Their experiences constitute a definite advance in man’s relation with the Infinite. Moreover, the author shows from available records that this transfiguring endowment of Illumination is on the increase, and he gives full details of practically all the cases on record up to the time when the book was written.

Book excerpt: Man is essentially a spiritual being.

Download or read book Cosmic Consciousness written by Richard M. Bucke and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildly arrogant, stunningly bombastic, and undeniably fascinating. This 1901 work-the masterpiece of an eclectic genius whose life encompassed medical science, mystical transcendence, and prospecting for gold-posits a higher form of sentience that only a few humans have ever achieved, among them Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Dante, William Blake, and the author himself, of course. As Bucke shares his metaphysical experience of the "cosmic consciousness" and offers evidence for the few instances in history of its occurrence ("it may as well be frankly stated at once that the view of the present editor is that Francis Bacon wrote the 'Shakespeare' plays and poems"), the reader may well be moved to throw this bizarre and highly intriguing book furiously across the room... if the reader can put it down at all, that is. Canadian mystic and doctor RICHARD MAURICE BUCKE (1837-1902) was a pioneer in the medical treatment of mental illness; his famous friendship with Walt Whitman was the subject of the 1992 movie Beautiful Dreamers. He also wrote Man's Moral Nature (1879) and an 1883 authorized biography of Whitman.

Download or read book Dr Bucke Revisited written by Pearl Hawkins and published by Athena PressPub Company. This book was released on 2004 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Bucke, a Canadian, died shortly after his treatise on cosmic consciousness was published in 1901, just as the author's grandmother, Edith Walters, was about to begin her cosmic conscious journey. Edith Walters was the product of the 1904 Welsh Religious Revival that reverberated around the world. An advanced soul, she was to found her own church, The Church of Nazareth, and to teach by personal example and by spiritual interpretation of the Holy Bible what Bucke had expounded via an intellectual treatise: The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. In essence, this is the same message taught by every mystic since the beginning of recorded history. Bucke takes one bold step further by identifying that statement as an evolving spiritual faculty inherent in human beings. He sees it as an evolutionary process, increasing in strength through the centuries, from when we first danced around the totem pole to the full Brahmic Splendour experienced by ordinary folk today. Survey 2003, Part Two of this book, supports Bucke's view, whilst calling for long-term, in-depth research into this neglected area of human experience. Enlightenment, Born Again, Illumination, Conversion, Transfiguration, Brahmic Splendour, Cosmic Consciousness; different names from different cultures to describe the same event the world over. The Western mind is decidedly sceptical about 'God matters', especially the scientific establishment. Though fiercely resisted (and still is), that was all set to change during the first quarter of the twentieth century when quantum physics turned the worldview upside down. Physicists are finding it increasingly difficult to avoid the profound implication of particle interaction with consciousness. As Professor Walters observed, 'We are the stuff of which stars are made.' The cosmic code has arrived in a way we least expected.

Download or read book Richard Maurice Bucke s Cosmic Consciousness written by Jeff Carreira and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh look at a modern spiritual classic. This is an edited, updated and interpreted edition of Richard Maurice Bucke's spiritual classic Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind. Bucke originally published his magnificent treatise in 1901 and it has been read, admired and even revered ever since. In this edition you will find the same insights and inspirations of the original text written in modern language and edited with modern sensibilities. The purpose here is not to improve upon the original, but to make its great wisdom more accessible to readers and spiritual seekers of today. When Jeff Carreira first encountered the book Cosmic Consciousness, he found a vision of conscious evolution that rang deeply resonant with his own spiritual experiences while contextualizing them within a vast narrative of universal history. Of course, the language and ideas of even a work as great as this can become dated with time. Languages change, new ideas develop, and many readers find the original text difficult to approach. Often the wisdom of spiritual classics is simply incorporated into the books and insights of present-day authors with minimal reference to the original source. This edition offers a different possibility. It attempts to preserve the wisdom and logical flow of the original book in a creatively edited and interpreted text that can be freshly appreciated by a new audience. This edition of Cosmic Consciousness is offered to honor the spirit and brilliance of the original.

This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard M. Burke's astonishing treatise on the human mind discusses and attempts to explain mystical experiences in the context of evolutionary change in the brain. During his mid-thirties, Burke underwent a feeling of revelation and felt distinctly enlightened for a short time. Although the period of enlightenment passed, it had an immense impact upon Burke's outlook, steering his personal and professional life in a directions he had never before envisioned. He found the experience a permanent boon to his well-being, and was able to work and enjoy life more than he formerly had. This book attempts to explain the various mystical feelings of enlightenment which humans have experienced over the millennia of recorded history. Burke's opinion is that these phenomena are becoming commoner over time, and represent an evolution of the human mind. He postulates that these experiences will become commoner as centuries go by, and become accepted as an ordinary, then eventually as a necessary part of human life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cosmic Consciousness: The Man-God Whom We Await The Self and Symbol Thou most Divine! above all women Above all men in consciousness. Thou in thy nearness to me Hast shown me paths of love. Yea; walks that lead from hell To the great light; where life and love Do ever reign.

There was the suddenness, the instantaneousness, of the awakening of the new life. At the time of his illumination he was at the typical age--namely, thirty-five years. Chapter 11. William Blake. Born 1757; died 1827. If Blake had Cosmic Consciousness the words written above as to the vastly greater scope and variety of this than of self consciousness will receive from his case illustration. The few short extracts from his writings, below quoted, almost prove that he had the Cosmic Sense, which he called "Imaginative Vision" 95: 166, and he must have attained to it within a very few years after reaching the thirtieth of his age. There do not appear to be any details extant of his entrance into it, but his writings may fairly be allowed to prove the fact of possession. I. W. M. Rossetti, in the "Prefatory Memoir" to "The Poetical Works of William Blake" 52, gives an admirable sketch of Blake's actual life and apparently a fair estimate of his abilities and defects. The following extracts therefrom will materially assist us in the inquiry now before us; that is: Had Blake Cosmic Consciousness? The difficulty of Blake's biographers, subsequent to 1863, the date of Mr. Gilchrist's book, is of a different kind altogether. It is the...
