Summary

A classic modern study of the mystical experience, this pioneering work remains as valuable today as it was upon its 1901 publication. Prompted by his firsthand experience, the author explores the phenomenon of transcendent realization, or illumination. Numerous case studies offer intriguing, real-life particulars of individuals who experienced personal epiphanies.

Author Biography

Canadian author Richard Maurice Bucke (1837-1902) was a progressive psychiatrist who wrote numerous professional papers in addition to three book-length studies. Cosmic Consciousness is his best-known work.
