Cosmoconsciousness, or cosmic consciousness, is a term used to characterize a transcendence of the limits of self-consciousness. As an ultra-state of illumination of the mind, the roots of the conception are embodied in the quest for a spiritual connection with multi-dimensional cosmos. SOURCE: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
There are a couple of issues with this statement that we have to understand.
First - do you think humans can transcend the limits of self-consciousness?
Second - do you believe there is a multi-dimensional cosmos?
Once these first two are understood and theoretically accepted, the next step is how do you get there?
For many, the journey to experiencing cosmic consciousness involves practices such as yoga, meditation, prayer and acts of faith. It is said that in a state of Cosmic Consciousness, the human mind is elevated beyond the awareness of the self and the ego, and enters a place of oneness and unity with the universe.
However, that is easier said than done...
There are Buddha and Hindu priests that spend their entire lifetimes in meditation trying to attain a state of cosmic consciousness.
Obviously, you are not going to spend your entire lifetime as much of that has already passed.
Besides, it is very difficult getting beyond our own EGOS and it is very difficult trying to eliminate our minds of all thoughts.
We are an achievement oriented, goal oriented, wealth-oriented society that has been indoctrinated in us all from a very early age.
These orientations must be the first to go...
