"
To sum up the evidences of cosmic consciousness, or Illumination, as
reported in the case of Moses, we find:
The experience of great light as seen on Horeb.
The "voice" which he calls the voice of "The Lord."
The sudden and momentary fear, and humility.
The shining of his face and form, as though bathed in light.
The subsequent intellectual superiority over those of his time.
The perfect assurance and confidence of authority and "salvation."
The desire for solitude, which caused him to die alone in the vale of Moab.
The intense desire to uplift his people to a higher consciousness.
CHAPTER VIII
GAUTAMA--THE COMPASSIONATE
Gautama, prince of the house of Siddhartha, of the Sakya class, was born in
northern India in the township of Kapilavastu, in the year 556 B.C.,
according to the best authorities, as interpreted and reported by Max
Muller.
The Japanese tradition agrees with this, practically, stating that O Shaka
Sama (signifying one born of wisdom and love) was born as a Kotai Si, crown
prince of the Maghada country.
