For as long as men could think and dream, they have
looked from the present into the future, hoping for a better,
a more complete, a more ideal life, for mankind. More than
50 years ago a Canadian put into a book his dream for the
future of the human race, and his belief of what that future
might sometime bring.
. This man, Richard Maurice Bucke, M.D., had a concept
of religion about which one hears little at least in the
everyday life of a western town, but which catches the
imagination. "Cosmic Consciousness" was the name which
the Canadian gave his book, and in it he put forth the idea
that just as mankind attained simple consciousness, such as
dogs and horses now have, and self consciousness, such as
humans have already attained, so will we eventually have
"cosmic consciousness" in which we will be aware of the
life and order of the universe, will attain intellectual enlight
ment and a high moral sense. (He believed that many
persons now have no moral sense whatsoever.)
He wrote "In contact with the flux of cosmic conscious
ness all religions known and named today will be melted
down. The human soul will be revolutionized. Religion
will absolutely dominate the race. It will not depend on
tradition. It will not be believed and disbelieved. It will
notbe a part of life, belonging to certain hours, times and
occasions. It will not be in sacred books, nor in the mouths
of priests.
"It will not dwell in churches and meetings and. forms
and days. Its life will not be in prayers, hymns nor dis
courses. It will not depend on special revelations, on the
words of gods who come down to teach nor in any Bible or
Bibles. It will have no mission to save men from their sins
or to secure them entrance into heaven. It will not teach a
future immortality nor future glories, for immortality and
all glory will exist here and now. The evidence of im
mortality will live in every heart as sight in every eye.
Doubt of God and of eternal life will be as impossible as is
now doubt of existence; the evidence of each will be the
same.
"Religion will govern every minute of every day of all
life. Churches, priests, forms, creeds, prayers, all agents,
all intermediaries between the individual man and God will
be permanently replaced by direct unmistakable intercourse.
Sin wiirno longer exist, nor will salvation be desired. Each
soul will feel and know itself to be immortal, will feel and
know that the entire universe with all its good and with all
its beauty is for it and belongs to it forever. The word
peopled by men posessing cosmic consciousness will be as
far removed from the world of today as this is from the
world as it .was before the advent of self consciousness."
Dr. Bucke believed that in the past a few of the world's
millions have attained some degree of this cosmic con
sciousness, and that one of these was Jesus of Nazareth.
Guests at the Dick-Couey wedding reception last Friday
night wondered aloud "how in the world did they bring
that cake to the church?" Potpourri inquired of the bride's
mother, who made the several-story elaborate confection,
and she said that the various layers and decorations were
made at home and then assembled at the church.
Mrs. Couey also made the bride's gown and the dresses
which- the three attendants wore. Mrs. Wayne Wakefield,
family friend, gave a helping hand on the gowns.
Friends, neighbors and even total strangers are always
eager to be helpful whenever a wedding is concerned. March
23 a clerk at Western Union received a cable which, at first
glance, was undeliverable. Search found no such name, no
such address. But it was apparently for a bride and brides
groom, and the clerk wished very much that it could reach
the couple on the wedding day. So she phoned florists and
the society editor, and by chance was given a clue. The last
call was to Mrs. Maisie Daily, Hillcrest orchards, who said
that no Carlsons lived on Foothills road, but that the Casson
family did. And in no time at all, Elizabeth Casson and May
nard C. Culmer received best wishes from a friend across
the seas.
"Who shall roll away the stone?" was the title chosen by
the Rev. Edwin T. Dahlberg of the National Council of
Churches and pastor of the Delmar Baptist church, St.
Louis, for an Easter message to Americans. The Rev. Dahl
berg spoke of the stone which sealed Christ's tomb, and caid
that Communism is like a gravestone "which seals up the
entrance to nations all the way from the Baltic to the Bal
kans, and from East Germany to Eastern Asia." The pastor
added that just as the words "He is risen; he is not here"
released a spirit of liberty and power through the earth
that Easter day, so Christianity still brings the promise of
equality and emancipation. He closed his message with the
words "What death principle in man shall successfully resist
the life principle in the risen Christ? Neither the bomb nor
the tomb! ... a redeeming science and religion should stand
together in the open doorway of the Nuclear Space Age to
day, challenging us to turn from our preoccupation with
death to the limitless potentials of life that are all around
us." O.S.
