COSMIC AWARENESS Thus it can be seen that the purpose of life is the attainment of knowledge, the expansion of consciousness, a constant reaching upward and outward and inward toward a oneness with God. Browning wrote: Such men are even now upon the earth Serene amid the half formed creatures round Who should be saved by them and joined with them. In Palestine nearly two thousand years ago, a man looked at his neighbors and said, “Who hath seen me, hath seen the Father.” Adulterated and misconstrued, distorted and dogmatized, the magnificent consciousness of the man, Jesus, has been in the main but a confusing din on the ears of the deafened. “I and my Father are one.” One, one, one!
