St. Paul called it \"the peace that passeth understanding\" and R. M. Bucke named it \"cosmic consciousness.\" In Zen Buddhism, the term for it is satori or kensho, while in yoga it is samadhi or moksha, and in Taoism, \"the absolute Tao.\" Thomas Merton used the phrase \"transcendental unconscious\" to describe it; Abraham Maslow coined the term \"peak experience\"; Sufis speak of fana. Gurdjieff labeled it \"objective consciousness\" while the Quakers call it \"the Inner Light.\" Jung referred to individuation, and Buber spoke of the I-Thou relationship.

Ouspensky, Alan Watts, Kenneth Wapnick, Richard Maurice Bucke, Abraham Maslow, and many more, and asks the question; What is the Highest State of Consciousness?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908733314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908733313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White Crow Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.10d","brand":"John White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988054409471,"sku":"9781908733313","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04d81e83-2caa-4d7a-903f-2d607bb36290.jpg?v=1683292361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-highest-state-of-consciousness-john-white-9781908733313","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
