Description:... A Study on the Evolution of the Human Mind Cosmic Consciousness is considered to be one of the classic books on the mystical experience. Its author outlines the development of various faculties in the history of man and the growth of an individual. Bucke believed that "the evolution of the individual is necessarily the evolution of the race in an abridged form." He believes we are witnessing a continous psychical revolution and that people like Buddha, Jesus, Spinoza, Whitmand, to name a few, are the forerunners of the beings who will eventually inhabit the earth.
