Abstract	Based on close readings of Paul Richard’s writing on Japan after World War Ⅱ and his autobiography, this paper explores the ways in which Richard, defined by Kramer as an “anti-secularist pan Asianist from Europe,” constructed a past-driven time, a future from the past, to universalize Shintoism in the 1960s. This study first addresses the origins and complexity of Richard’s religious syncretism dating back to his spiritual experience in childhood as well as his encounter with Abdul Baha, the head of the Baha'i faith in France [sic]. Richard’s focus on the sun as a deity through analogies and experience of the infinite served as an underlying rationale that was integral to the formation of Asian thought and (biopolar) oneness for universalizing Shintoism. Moreover, this study shows that Richard drew from Einstein’s idea of “cosmic religion” to develop his notion of “cosmic consciousness” as a justification for Shintoism. Finally, this paper suggests that Richard’s cosmic consciousness, bolstered by (quasi) science, actually led to the recirculation of Japan’s imperial ideology.
