Cosmic Consciousness by Richard Bucke:
I’ve read most of this book before, I’m excited to get back. This is a very famous and very exceptional book about consciousness and enlightenment (Illumination, Awakening, Liberation…). Its treatise about the development of consciousness of the universe alone is fascinating.
It’s also interesting because it’s a book about Enlightenment written from a psychology viewpoint, whereas most of those are from a mystical or religious viewpoint.
The book can be found for free, or on Amazon in various editions, including several Kindle versions, unusually. But sadly I have not found any audiobook edition. (Though admittedly audiobooks are more fitted for fiction than for this kind of book, which requires more chewing.)
