The Cosmic Consciousness Of Walt Whitman

The Cosmic Consciousness Of Walt Whitman is a book written by Richard Maurice Bucke that explores the spiritual and philosophical ideas of the famous American poet, Walt Whitman. Bucke, a Canadian psychiatrist and writer, was inspired by Whitman's poetry and sought to understand the source of his profound insights and visionary experiences. In this book, Bucke argues that Whitman possessed a form of cosmic consciousness, a heightened state of awareness that allowed him to perceive the interconnectedness of all things and to experience a sense of unity with the universe. Bucke draws on Whitman's poetry, as well as his own experiences and observations, to explore the nature of cosmic consciousness and its significance for human evolution. The book is considered a classic of mystical literature and a seminal work in the field of transpersonal psychology.THIS 24 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Cosmic Consciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind, by Richard Maurice Bucke.
