Have you ever had the sense of being immersed in flames or rose-colored clouds? And at the same time bathed in an emotion of joy, assurance, triumph and salvation? Or like a flash there has been presented to your consciousness a clear vision in outline of the meaning and drift of the universe? Did it take for seconds or hours and gradually pass away? Have you ever had a sense of immortality? The simple and elementary feeling which could be rather compared to the certainty of your distinct individuality than an intellectual conviction such as comes with the solution of a problem? Have you ever felt that the times when the fear of death had haunted you vanished without any reason, just simply disappeared? And the same happened to the sense of sin? And it was not that you escaped from sin, but you no longer have seen that there is any sin in the world from which to escape.
Have you ever had a sense of the suddenness, instantaneousness of the awakening? Was it like a dazzling flash of lightning in a dark night bringing the landscape had been hidden into clear view? Have you ever been told: Oh, your appearance have changed, you illuminate, to your personality charm have been added, you've gone through some kind of transfiguration?If your answers to the most of the questions above are yes, you are the one in every million people who experienced the highest level of consciousness which human ever has possessed, at least as the Canadian psychologist Richard M. Bucke avers in his book titled "Cosmic Consciousness".
If he is correct right now there are six thousand people on the Earth who could be connected to the spiritual dimension. But if we surmise that there are different kinds of connections between any individual and the spiritual realm, then Bucke's assumption of the amount of people who have crossed the threshold and their mind and spirit are driven by the cosmic consciousness instead of self-consciousness is leastwise moderate. A number of signs betoken that any human being could at least temporally and/or on the lowest level bond to the spiritual realm in the course of his or her life. (The people whom Bucke was talking about and the symptoms of their supernatural experiments mentioned above definitely have been attached to the spiritual realm on the most intensive level which human consciousness is susceptible.) And anyone can improve the capability to override self-consciousness and enter to the area of cosmic-consciousness. And why does one want to do that? What is the benefit doing that?
"When we shift our awareness from self-consciousness where fear, impossibility or feelings of separation reside to cosmic consciousness, which is in total harmony with the universe and where none of those feelings exist, then anything is possible" - stated Rhonda Byrne who is most famous for publishing the book "The Secret". In the spiritual realm, in the presence of the Almighty we could receive godly impulses to improve our character. The biblical Spirit of the Lord and the Holy Spirit can be downloaded by anyone whom concede the moral impel to become a better person and ready to change his consciousness.
Imagine a world where all of the inhabitant do not even know what means the rancor, sorrow, uproar, intolerant, cruelty, badness, infidelity, roughness and self-indulgence because they are full of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. There is no foolishness, ignorance, misguidance, powerlessness because the Spirit of grace, wisdom and understanding, counsel and might, knowledge and of the fear of the Lord rest upon them.
So how can we shift our awareness from self-consciousness to cosmic consciousness? How can we be that one in every million? Jesus says: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
