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.
Aleister Crowley felt that powerful connection experiences (e.g., Samadhi) led to one's access to "genius" level intelligence. So much so that those who had them would be able to found new religions. [5]
