Not to be confused with Walter Westley Russell. Walter Bowman Russell (May 19, 1871- May 19, 1963) left a legacy that centers around his unique Cosmogony, or concept of the universe, having spent many years writing about the nature of humankind's relationship to the Universal One and the degrees of consciousness. An American painter (of the Boston School), sculptor, natural philosopher, musician, author, and builder, his books and lectures place him firmly in the New Thought Movement. The NY Herald Tribune called him "the modern Leonardo", a Renaissance man for the 20th century. Although considered by some a polymath, Russell was not an academician. ...In May 1921 Russell experienced a transformational revelatory event that he later described in "The Story of My Illumining," a chapter in the 1950 edition of his Home Study Course. "During that period...I could perceive all motion," and was newly "aware of all things." Russell used the terminology of Dr. Richard Maurice Bucke in his book Cosmic Consciousness to explain the phenomenon of "cosmic illumination." Later he wrote, "It will be remembered that no one who has ever had [the experience of illumination] has been able to explain it. I deem it my duty to the world to tell of it." What was revealed to Russell "in the Light" is the subject matter of The Divine Iliad'', published in 1949. After 5 years of preparation, Russell was ready to challenge the field of theoretical physics with his new knowledge. He published The Universal One (1926) and The Russell Genero-Radiative Concept (1930) and defended his ideas in the pages of the NY Times in 1930-1931. From the debate with scientists came a tag-line for the Russell Cosmogony, the "Two-Way Universe" of gravitation and radiation. "Gravity and radiativity are opposite pressure conditions. They perpetually void themselves by giving to the other." ...The Russell Cosmogony is a new concept of the universe... (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Russell) undefined
