Cosmic Consciousness: The Man-God Whom We Await - Softcover

Reseña del editor

“Sex is an eternal verity. The entire Cosmos is bi-sexual. Everything in the visible universe; in the manifest, is the result of this universal principle.”

“The book can be recommended for careful reading....Ali Nomad is intensely interested in the rather abstruse question of bisexuality, which he thinks of as applying to Deity, to humanity, to the future perfection of the race, and to the forgotten antiquities of the race; and he finds in Swedenborg’s books, especially in some of his visions, material that seems to confirm him in his idea, presumably certain statements concerning angels and the matter of the sex of angels.” -New Church Review, Volume 22, 1915

A profound, life changing classic in the field, "Cosmic Consciousness" includes revelatory chapters on the following: The New Birth; Man's Relation to God and to His Fellow Men; Areas of Consciousness; Self-Ness and Selflessness; Instances of Illumination and its After Effects; Examples of Cosmic Consciousness, Who Have Founded New Systems of Religion; Moses; Gautama; Jesus; Paul; Mohammed; Swedenborg; Modern Examples; Illumination as Expressed in the Poetical Temperament; methods of Attainment. This is a special book that touches on many different levels.

Man is essentially a spiritual being. The source of this spiritual Omniscience we may not, in our finite intelligence, fully cognize, because full cognition would preclude the possibility of finite expression. The destiny of man is perfection. Man perfected becomes a god. Mortality is the manifest--the stage upon which "man in his life plays many parts." Immortality, is what the word says it is--godhood re-cognized in the mortal. "Im" or, "Om"--the more general term--stands for the Changeless. Birthless. Deathless. Unnamable Power that holds the worlds in space, and puts intelligence into man. Always there must remain the Unknownable--the Absolute. "Om," therefore, is the word we use to express this Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent power. The object of this book is to call attention to some of the more pronounced instances of cosmic Illumination, and to classify them, according as they have been expressed through religions enthusiasm; poetical fervor; or great intellectual power. But we have also one other argument to make, and this we present with a conviction of its truth, while conceding that it must remain a theory, until proven, each individual, man or woman, for himself and herself. The postulate is this: immortality (i.e. godhood) is bi-sexual. No male person can by any possibility become an immortal god, in, of and by himself; no female person can be complete without the "other half" that makes the ONE. Each and every SOUL, therefore, has its spiritual counterpart--its "other half," with which it unites on the spiritual plane, when the time comes for attainment of immortality.
