has gloss | eng: Cosmic consciousness is the concept that the universe exists as an interconnected network of consciousness, with each conscious being linked to every other. Sometimes this is conceived as forming a collective consciousness which spans the cosmos, othertimes it is conceived of as an Absolute or Godhead from which all conscious beings emanate. Throughout history, there have been many renditions of universal unity, connectivity, and the spectrum of considered possibility of mankind. The idea bears similarity to the ancient Buddhist concept of Indras net, Teilhard de Chardins conception of the noosphere, James Lovelocks Gaia theory, to Hegels Absolute idealism, Satori in Zen , and to some traditional pantheist beliefs. It is also reminiscent of Carl Jungs collective unconscious . Many of those who have used psychedelics such as LSD and Psilocybin mushrooms have asserted that they have had direct experience of the cosmic consciousness, although some have suggested that naturally occurring mystical experiences and those induced by psychedelics are of a different nature. |
