Notes

Karl Hanes provides a case report of an individual who, during a connection event of great intensity and long durection, experienced "enhancement of his cognitive abilities"[1]

Bucke says "Along with the consciousness of the cosmos there occurs an intellectual enlightenment or illumination which alone would place the individual on a new plane of existence.[2]

Bucke also says "The world peopled by men [sic] possessing 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.[3]

Ikbal Ali Shah[4] claims that it has been known for generations that the mystical practices of Sufism induce greater intellectual power.
