			==[[Tao Te Ching]]==

			What (Tao’s) skilful planter plants
			Can never be uptorn;
			What his skilful arms enfold,
			From him can ne’er be borne.
			Sons shall bring in lengthening line,
			Sacrifices to his shrine.

			Tao when nursed within one’s self,
			His vigour will make true;
			And where the family it rules
			What riches will accrue!
			The neighbourhood where it prevails
			In thriving will abound;
			And when ‘tis seen throughout the state,
			Good fortune will be found.
			Employ it the kingdom o’er,
			And men thrive all around.<ref>Lao Tzu; Tzu, Lao; Confucius; Confucius; Mencius; Mencius; Tzu, Chuang; Tzu, Chuang. The Four Chinese Classics: Tao Te Ching, Analects, Chuang Tzu, Mencius (Kindle Locations 603-615). Pandora's Box. Kindle Edition. </ref>

	In contact with the flux of cosmic consciousness all religions known and named to-day 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 not be a part of life, belonging to certain hours, times, 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 discourses. It will not depend on special revelations, on the words of gods who came down to teach, nor on any bible or bibles. It will have no mission to save men from their sins or to secure them entrance to heaven. It will not teach a future immortality nor future glories, for immortality and all glory will exist in the here and now. The evidence of immortality 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 will no longer exist nor will salvation be desired. Men will not worry about death or a future, about the kingdom of heaven, about what may come with and after the cessation of the life of the present body. 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 world peopled by men possessing cosmic consciousness will be as far removed from the world of to-day as this is from the world as it was before the advent of self consciousness.<ref>Bucke, Richard Maurice.

			===[[R. M. Bucke]]===

			R.M. Bucke refers to the utopian outcome achievable when humanity collectively achieves [[Cosmic Consciousness]], or pure and persistent [[Connection]]. Note the impact [[Connection]] has on human spirituality, taking it out of the control of the Churches and their priests, and putting it back in the hands of individual humans.

			The immediate future of our race, the writer thinks, is indescribably hopeful. There are at the present moment impending over us three revolutions, the least of which would dwarf the ordinary historic upheaval called by that name into absolute insignificance. They are : (1) The material, economic and social revolution which will depend upon and result from the establishment of aerial navigation. (2) The economic and social revolution which will abolish individual ownership and rid the earth at once of two immense evils: Riches and poverty. And: (3) The psychical revolution of which there is here question.

			Either of the two first would (and will) radically change the conditions of, and greatly uplift, human life; but the third will do more for humanity than both of the former, were their importance multiplied by hundreds or even thousands.

			The three operating (as they will) together will literally create a new heaven and a new earth. Old things will be done away and all will become new.

			Before aerial navigation national boundaries, tariffs, and perhaps distinctions of language will fade out. Great cities will have no longer reason for being and will melt away. The men who now dwell in cities will inhabit in summer the mountains and the sea shores; building often in airy and beautiful spots, now almost or quite inaccessible, commanding the most extensive and magnificent views. In the winter they will probably dwell in communities of moderate size. As the herding together, as now, in great cities, so the isolation of the worker of the soil will become a thing of the past. Space will be practically annihilated, there will be no crowding together and no enforced solitude.

			Before Socialism crushing toil, cruel anxiety, insulting and demoralizing riches, poverty and its ills will become subjects for historical novels.

			In contact with the flux of cosmic consciousness all religions known and named to-day 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 not be a part of life, belonging to certain hours, times, occasions.
