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.
