I found an old hardcover copy of this book in an antique store on the central coast of California. I didn't buy it then, but after reading only a few sentences of it at the bookstore, I ordered this paperback. The paperback is a nice larger size for reading and easier to read than the older book. It seems to be a forgotten about book, but for me, it is life changing and has propelled me into a new level of consciousness. I had a cosmic consciousness awakening just as described in this book in 2011, and I literally became a different person. This book describes my experience just as it happened, and happens to be a guide and support for me now. It allows me to be a "new species" of human and expand in a direction I didn't know about until I read this book, and I'm only 40 pages into it! I can only read a few pages at a time, because it all needs to be absorbed well before reading more.

heard Steve Jobs read a game changing book called “Cosmic Consciousness” so I found this one
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018Verified Purchase
I searched for a book about “Cosmic Consciousness” after I found list of books Steve Jobs read and how this one change is thinking and inspired him to develop a higher leveling of thinking and problem solving. It was said this was one of the books that totally changed his understanding of the world. So I had to great it. Wow, I had no idea what I was in for, This book seriously changed my perspective on the evolution of life, both past and future. Also the original writing of this book was over 100 ago. Current day writers and motivational gurus have clearly taken information from this book and delivered it in a new way.

As more or less a novice in the study of such topics, I found the readings to be both understandable and inspiring. It provided numerous pathways to yet more sources of understanding. I would recommend this reading especially to those of an agnostic nature who yet believe in a spiritual essence within us all. I chose the rating because this book is unique in my heretofore experience. Now on to “The Leaves”!

A remarkable study of people who experienced Cosmic Consciousness, written in 1905
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017Verified Purchase
This book was a remarkable study for it's time, written in 1905. It should be read by every theology and psychology student in college, who wants to understand deeper levels of consciousness. It is simple study in some ways and uses a simple method. Our methods and editing would make this a much different book today and would include woman and many authentic Indian saints of recent days past. (e.g. Autobiography of a Yogi). However for it's time, it' s a remarkable book. He at one place writes that the Indian yogi techniques are not legitimate...but did the author ever even travel to India? I assume not, whereas he would have been on a ship for months to cross the ocean. He did very well in light of his information. However, these days, there are many who have reached this state of Cosmic Consciousness...including sadhus in the Himalayas and some ordinary house-holders who don't advertise their level of spiritual development, and a few rare gurus (although most now have not reached this state!). I would of liked the author to tell the reader about his own interest in this topic and spiritual experiences but he does not mention it and focuses instead on other's experience.

Don't buy this Kindle edition. At the beginning it says: “The book pages were scanned and converted to EPUB format automatically. This process relies on optical character recognition.” Well.. that's obvious while trying to read this. I also read “This book was produced in EPUB format by the Internet Archive.” So, it seems this poorly scanned book can be downloaded for free at the Internet Archive.

This book had been continually in print since 1905. That tells you something right there. The author describes various spiritual journeys and experiences that average people have had throughout the centuries...
Many were spiritual aspirants ....and many were simple people who were suddenly catapulted into a new reality without any preparation. Truly a must read for anyone who wants to explore the Hidden Realities of our vast cosmos.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2014Verified Purchase
A complicated book and difficult to read partly because of its style and language ( early 20th cent) and also because of its overtones of racialism. However, if one can accept that the author was writing in and of his times then it has a lot to offer to anyone studying this . subject.We know a lot more now and new discoveries are being made everyday, the author was genuinely trying to understand and put out as clearly as his knowledge, and the time in which he lived, allowed.Comparing it with what we know now, and what is available in books, lectures, and teaching, it was amazing in his time and must have caused quite a stir among his colleagues.D.Ashcroft-Nowicki

Bucke Does Not Stop Here But Moves Into the Cosmos
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 26, 2014Verified Purchase
Bucke covers the subject with great authority and it has become a classic in the field of consciousness studies. But it is not a lively book that engages you. It has a certain dryness of the academic book. It is more a reference book for those who are doing research on the subject. I just remembered owning it years ago and having given it away I thought to re-acquire it.
