Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind
By RICHARD MAURICE BUCKE, M.D.
New Edition, with a New Introduction by George Moreby Acklom
"For years" says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, "it was an adventure to try to catch sight of this book; and to own a copy meant eager search in America and Europe, with frequent disappointment, leading sometimes to final despair."
In reviewing the mental and spiritual activity of the human race. Dr. Bucke discovers that at intervals certain individuals gifted with the power of transcendent realization-or, as it is sometimes called, Illumination-have appeared. And their experiences constitute a definite advance in man's relation with the Infinite. Moreover, from available records, the author shows 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.
Dr. Bucke's book was accepted by Professor William James, of Harvard, as "an addition to psychology of first rate importance," and P. D. Ouspensky, the Russian philosopher, devoted an entire chapter of his great work Tertium Organum to an appreciative discussion of Cosmic Consciousness. It is a landmark in its particular field.”
