Tertium-Organum-by-P-D-Ouspensky

even now
is manifesting itself in certain men, after appropriate 
preparation and training. 
This higher consciousness Edward Carpenter called 
cosmic consciousness. 
Carpenter travelled widely in the East, went to India and Ceylon and found 
there men - hermits and yogis - striving to achieve 
cosmic consciousness,
and 
he holds the opinion that the way to cosmic consciousness has already been 
found in the East. 
In his book 
From Adam's Peak to Elephanta, 
in the chapters: 'A Visit to a 
Gnani
and 'Consciousness without Thought', he says: 
The West seeks the individual consciousness - the enriched mind, ready 
perceptions and memories, individual hopes and fears, ambitions, loves, 
conquests -
the self, the local self, 
in all its phases and forms - and sorely 


doubts whether such a thing as an universal consciousness exists. The East seeks the 
universal consciousness, and, in those cases where its quest succeeds, individual 
self 
and
life thin away to a mere film, and arc only the shadows cast by the glory revealed 
beyond. 
The individual consciousness takes the form of 
Thought,
which is fluid and mobile 
like quicksilver, perpetually in a state of change and unrest, fraught with pain and 
effort; the other consciousness is not in the form of Thought. It touches, sees, hears, 
and is those things which it perceives -without motion, without change, without 
effort, without distinction of subject and object, but with a vast and incredible joy. 
The individual consciousness is specially related to the body. The organs of the 
body are in some degrees its organs. But the 
whole
body is only as one organ to the 
cosmic consciousness. To attain this latter one must have the power of knowing one's 
self separate from the body, of passing into a state of 
ecstasy
in fact. Without this the 
cosmic consciousness cannot be experienced.* 
All the subsequent writings of Carpenter, especially his book of free verse. 
Towards 
Democracy,
lead to the psychology of ecstatic experiences and depict the way by which 
man advances towards this 
principal aim of his existence, 
i.e. towards new 
consciousness. 
Only the attainment of this first aim will illumine for a man the past and the future; 
it will be vision, awakening. Without this, with only the ordinary, sleep consciousness, 
a man is blind; and he cannot hope to know anything except what he can feel with his 
blind man's stick. 
The psychological picture of the awakening of the new consciousness is given by Dr 
Bucke in his book 
Cosmic Consciousness. 
I shall quote in an abridged form a few fragments from this book. 

What is cosmic consciousness? 
Cosmic consciousness, then, is a higher form of consciousness than that possessed 
by the ordinary man. This last is self-consciousness and is that faculty upon which 
rests all of our life (both subjective and objective) which is not common to us and the 
higher animals, except that small pan of it which is derived from the few individuals 
who have had the higher consciousness above named. To make the matter clear it 
must be understood that there are three forms or grades of consciousness, (1) 
Simple 
consciousness, 
which is possessed by say the upper half of the animal kingdom. (2) 
Self-consciousness,
which man has over and above the simple

consciousness, which is possessed by man as by animals.* (3)
