Cosmic Consciousness
by Richard Maurice Bucke
[1901]
This is an attempted scientific study of illuminated individuals. Bucke provides three dozen very consistent examples of 'cosmic
consciousness.' Some of these are the usual suspects, and others are
contemporary case-histories which Bucke collected.
Bucke proposed that these enlightened figures
are evolutionary jumps, the precedecessor of a more advanced species.
