Puhusm

Puhusm is a conceptual term that emerged from speculative fiction and has since been adopted by certain philosophical and artistic circles. It generally refers to a state of being or consciousness characterized by a profound, almost overwhelming sense of interconnectedness with all things. This interconnectedness is not merely intellectual but is experienced as a visceral, emotional, and spiritual unity. Individuals who report experiencing Puhusm often describe a dissolution of the ego and a perception of reality as a singular, dynamic entity.

The origins of the term are debated, but it is often attributed to the fictional writings of an obscure 20th-century author whose works explored themes of cosmic consciousness and existential unity. While not a scientifically recognized phenomenon, Puhusm has been analyzed in the context of altered states of consciousness, mystical experiences, and peak experiences. Some interpretations suggest it represents an ideal state of human awareness, while others view it as a potentially destabilizing psychological condition due to its radical departure from conventional self-perception.

In artistic contexts, Puhusm is sometimes used as a thematic element to evoke feelings of transcendence, unity, or the sublime. It can be a source of inspiration for music, visual art, and literature that aims to explore the boundaries of human perception and the nature of existence. Discussions surrounding Puhusm often touch upon concepts like pantheism, panentheism, and non-duality, though it remains distinct in its specific portrayal as an all-encompassing, felt experience.
