description: Dr Bucke, a Canadian, died shortly after his treatise on cosmic consciousness was published in 1901, just as the author's grandmother, Edith Walters, was about to begin her cosmic conscious journey. Edith Walters was the product of the 1904 Welsh Religious Revival that reverberated around the world. An advanced soul, she was to found her own church, The Church of Nazareth, and to teach by personal example and by spiritual interpretation of the Holy Bible what Bucke had expounded via an intellectual treatise: The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. In essence, this is the same message taught by every mystic since the beginning of recorded history. Bucke takes one bold step further by identifying that statement as an evolving spiritual faculty inherent in human beings. He sees it as an evolutionary process, increasing in strength through the centuries, from when we first danced around the totem pole to the full Brahmic Splendour experienced by ordinary folk today. Survey 2003, Part Two of this book, supports Bucke's view, whilst calling for long-term, in-depth research into this neglected area of human experience. Enlightenment, Born Again, Illumination, Conversion, Transfiguration, Brahmic Splendour, Cosmic Consciousness; different names from different cultures to describe the same event the world over. The Western mind is decidedly sceptical about 'God matters', especially the scientific establishment. Though fiercely resisted (and still is), that was all set to change during the first quarter of the twentieth century when quantum physics turned the worldview upside down. Physicists are finding it increasingly difficult to avoid the profound implication of particle interaction with consciousness. As Professor Walters observed, 'We are the stuff of which stars are made.' The cosmic code has arrived in a way we least expected.
