Brief Overview of the ‘Theory of Cosmic Consciousness’

I was recently led to read CosmicConsciousness: A Study in the Evolution of the Human Mind, a 1901 book written by the philosopher and psychiatrist in which the author Richard Maurice Bucke explores the concept of cosmic consciousness defining it as a higher form of consciousness than that currently possessed by most ordinary men. An interesting read. See https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Cosmic_Consciousness

In his book on Cosmic Consciousness, Richard Bucke stated that he discerned three degrees, of consciousness man possesses that have emerged over time:

• Simple consciousness, the initial level of consciousness that is possessed by both animals and mankind

• Self-consciousness, the next level of consciousness now possessed by mankind that encompasses ‘thought, reason, and imagination’.

• Cosmic consciousness, a higher form of consciousness than that currently possessed by much of mankind.

In summary, Cosmic Consciousness moves beyond Self Consciousness to a spiritual understanding that there is eternal life and that ‘God’ is the whole universe, the universe is God – that all things are interconnected.

Finally, in his book, Richard Bucke frequently references Jesus Christ and quotes many of his saying from the Bible. He claims Jesus was one of the early individuals to attain cosmic consciousness who tried to communicate what that meant to his disciples and millions of Christians over the centuries.

The following are some Other Notes on Cosmic Consciousness from a variety of selected articles referenced below.

• Cosmic Consciousness is a term often used to denote a higher or particularly spiritual level of awareness and consciousness. This type of awareness may be associated with an experience of “knowing God," transcending what we know using our five basic senses.

• “Cosmic consciousness” - Is there any phrase more taboo, more unspeakable in philosophy, than this? Nowadays, to speak of cosmic consciousness is to invite ridicule by many.

• Some philosophers argue that the entire universe is conscious, or to put it more broadly: that there is a Cosmic Consciousness.

• A mode of consciousness in which everything is experienced as ‘being one with everything else’.

• Cosmic Consciousness involves a direct, intuitive experience of the infinite field of awareness that underlies and pervades the entire universe.

• Some of the world's most renowned scientists are beginning to question whether the cosmos has an inner life similar to our own.

• Cosmic Consciousness will one day become an everyday experience for all of mankind.

North Shore Funding and Projects by Lake Marion

The following are excerpts from an excellent article published by the Manning Times about the North Shore community by Lake Marion near Summerton, SC. - see https://manninglive.com/stories/clarendon-to-receive-700000-grant-for-summerton-water-system,72644

A request on behalf of Clarendon County for a grant of $700,000 was submitted earlier this year. The purpose of the request was to make wastewater improvements to the Summerton area addressing the capacity deficiency for the planned North Shore Hotel Development project. 

The North Shore Hotel Development Project involves the construction of a planned SpringHill Suites by Mariott Hotels, consisting of 117 rooms and several cabins. According to the request submitted by SC Representative Pedalino, the current wastewater system prevents Summerton from having economical development projects from coming to the area because it is at maximum capacity. The $700,000 grant would help the local community to have the North Shore Hotel come to the community and for future development projects. 

Representative Pedalino’s request was granted. She said, “I am proud to have been able to get the funding for the project and to get the project off the ground. The county is going to complete the project. They are just waiting on the Town of Summerton to approve the county to hook up the Summerton water system once everything is complete. 

A statement from the county received reads as follows: “The project will be located on Gordon Road, adjacent to the North Shore at Lake Marion luxury condominiums. It will include a four-story, 117 room hotel, eleven cabins, a restaurant, and an area with single family residences. Access to Lake Marion will also be provided for these homes."

"The $700,000 from the recently passed State Budget for the project will come to the County, and County staff will use these funds to complete the project’s water and sewer infrastructure requirements. Then the completed improvements will be turned over to the Town of Summerton as a connected part of their water and sewer system. This will be a very exciting project for Clarendon County, and residents very much appreciate the Legislative Delegation working to land these funds.”
