Richard Maurice Bucke, Cosmic Consciousness

Richard Maurice Bucke’s Cosmic Consciousness is one of the spiritual classics. Richard M. Bucke, a highly respected Canadian psychiatrist, had a great illumination, a flash that he called “cosmic consciousness”. At that moment, he “realized that the cosmos is not dead matter but fully alive; that humans have a soul and are immortal; that the universe is built so that all things work toward the good, with everyone’s eventual happiness a certainty; and that love is the basic principle in the universe”.

“In a time of cosmic consciousness”, Bucke says, “religion would not exist, as there would be no need to profess belief or unbelief – everyone would have first-hand awareness of God and the perfect spiritual nature of the universe. The difference between that world and the world we know now would be like that between the dawn of humanity and the present”.
