Currently Reading

Cosmic Consciousness. RM Bucke.
A hundred+ year old classic written by a person with personal experiences with the topic. It is still interesting reading, and has some current points: (1) Cosmic consciousness happens, either as glimpses or as lasting experiences. (2) There seems to be an evolutionary unfolding which could make cosmic consciousness ordinary among humans in the near or distant future.
