	The New Age Files - Biogs and Info - Richard Maurice Bucke
		Bucke's achievements in these areas show that he was man who understood that the law of love is as effective in dealing with the mentally ill as with the rest of humanity.
		Bucke also recognized that the faculty of cosmic consciousness is normally acquired when the specimen of the race is at full maturity and that over the last few thousand years the frequency of individuals experiencing cosmic consciousness has been increasing.
		Bucke is indeed an excellent example of an individual who, for at least one brief moment, experienced cosmic consciousness and then proceeded to display the characteristics of a person who has had an overwhelming insight into the workings of the universe.

	Cosmic Consciousness by Richard Bucke (Excerpt)
		Bucke created his own psychology to cover what he saw as all the states of consciousness that are possible from the perceptual consciousness of lower animals to the illumined cosmic consciousness of the religious sage or mystic.
		Bucke's psychology is a whole domain of consciousness deeper than Jung's (although it skips over many facts that Jung brought out), and leaves Freud far behind, even though Bucke lived and died before the time of Freud or Jung.
		Bucke was a descendent of Sir Richard Walpole, and was in the position of superintendent of the Asylum for the Insane at London, Onterio, Canada, for 25 years.

	Einstein's God 5108
		Bucke represents a kind of genetic explanation for psychological phenomena that is as old-fashioned as phrenology.
		Bucke's collection of exceptional people is the evidence that allows us to reject the notion that the people we term spiritually liberated are merely true believers or religious fanatics.
		While both Bucke and Maslow were unique among their contemporaries in their recognition that a kind of mental health might exist that was better than the normal conformity, they were traditional in their belief that spiritual liberation is something that happens to a passive receptor rather than the result of a process.

		Bucke was a Canadian physician and student of the human mind who became one of Whitman’s most devoted friends and supporters in the poet’s later years.
		Though their visit was outwardly unremarkable, after parting Bucke found himself in a state of "mental exaltation." This feeling continued for the next six weeks, and Bucke’s devotion to Whitman continued for the rest of his life.
		Bucke’s role was not just that of a self-appointed disciple and intellectual/mystical apostle; he was also an extremely dependable, knowledgeable, and practical man, and a loyal friend.

	Richard Bucke (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.tamu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-23)
		Richard M. Bucke was born in 1837, near London, Ontario to quite-literate English immigrant parents.
		Bucke developed a theory involving three main stages of the development of consciousness: simple consciousness (that of animals); self-consciousness (that of the mass of humanity - encompassing reason, imagination, etc.); and cosmic consciousness (the emerging faculty and next region of human development).
		Besides Bucke's being part of the progressive movement concerned with the treatment of society's mentally disturbed individuals, his concept of Cosmic Consciousness took on a life of its own (not always very well understood, perhaps) and has drifted into the thought and writings of many other people.

	Cosmic Consiousness-The Intuitive-Connections Network
		Given the limitations of research at the time, Bucke poured through volumes of history and literature and concluded that there had been "at least 14 undeniable cases of complete and permanent Illumination" and many other cases of partial or temporary Illumination.
		Bucke was a proponent of the theory that Francis Bacon was the author of the sonnets and plays attributed to Shakespeare.
		Bucke's final chapter, called "Last Words," provides him the opportunity both to recapitulate his points, but also to diverge just a bit to points he didn't explore in the main chapters.

	phenomeNEWS - This Month's Article
		This month we examine a pioneering study of the evolution of the human mind: Cosmic Consciousness by Richard M. Bucke, MD, (E. Dutton and Co., Inc. 2969).
		His second chapter takes the discussion to the second step of mental evolution: self-consciousness, noting that “self consciousness would doubtless prove to be the primary and fundamental human attribute.” His arguments and data are often fascinating and range from the development of sensitivity to sound to the perception of colors.
		The second edition of Richard Bucke’s work includes chapters on each of the fourteen historical personages he believes to have experienced “Illumination” or “Cosmic Consciousness.” These chapters are highly interesting, providing readers with excellent biographical information that supports Bucke’s theory and often, numerous quotations, even somewhat lengthy citing from that individual’s work.

		Bucke states that Walt Whitman, Buddha, Jesus, and Francis Bacon all had cosmic consciousness.
		Knowledge of the subject is useful because "as a race we are approaching nearer and nearer to that stage of the self conscious mind from which the transition to the cosmic conscious is effected." (Bucke) If Bucke is right then one can be optimistic.

	Science News and Technology News: Top Stories
		At the end of the 19th century, Canadian physician Richard Bucke described a level of human development he called 'cosmic consciousness.' Dr. Bucke wrote about a state of 'enlightenment or illumination,' an experience of 'eternal life' paired with 'an indescribable feeling of elevation, elation, and joyousness.'
		In Bucke's day, the main obstacle to researching Cosmic Consciousness was the rarity of individuals who had actually achieved it.
		Dr. Bucke based his study on the experiences of Whitman and others-experiences that were often fleeting and intermittent, reported by subjects who were remote from him in space and time.
