This work is the magnum opus of Bucke's career a project that he researched and wrote over many years. In it Bucke described his own experience that of contemporaries (most notably Whitman but also unknown figures like "C.P.") and the experiences and outlook of historical figures including Buddha Jesus Paul Plotinus Muhammad Dante Francis Bacon and William Blake. Bucke developed a theory involving three stages in the development of consciousness: the simple consciousness of animals; the self-consciousness of the mass of humanity (encompassing reason imagination etc.); and cosmic consciousness - an emerging faculty and the next stage of human development. Among the effects of this progression he believed he detected a lengthy historical trend in which religious conceptions and theologies had become less and less fearful. A classic work.
