Living Enlightenment A Call for Evolution Beyond Ego by Andrew Cohen

Description: Living Enlightenment: A Call for Evolution Beyond Ego by Andrew Cohen *** Spiritual Book Gift with this order ***In "Living Enlightenment" revolutionary spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen explores the mystery and mechanics of radical transformation. Bringing together the transcendent wisdom of the East with the Western understanding of evolution, Cohen offers a vision of the purpose of enlightenment to challenge and inspire even the most disillusioned of seekers. Simple yet audacious, his claim is that the spiritual evolution of each one of us is not separate from the evolution of the whole human race. For Cohen, the path to individual liberation could never be a personal matter, but rather is 'the first step toward becoming a conscious participant in the evolutionary process'. In the miraculous experiential discovery of the enlightened perspective', he writes, 'our humanity is finally set free to manifest its evolutionary potential without inhibition'. Presented as far-reaching dialogue over twenty chapters, the book echoes an ancient form of spiritual discourse while engaging with some of the most complex questions facing modern seekers. What is enlightenment? And what does this profound attainment have to do with the reality of our human existence? Is it possible to be enlightened and still have a family, be in a sexual relationship, live an ordinary life? What is ego? And ultimately, what is the purpose of enlightenment? This is not a book that can be read from a safe distance. As the dynamic and unpredictable dialogue unfolds, "Living Enlightenment" offers a rare and intimate portrait of Cohen himself - his wisdom, spontaneity, and unquenchable passion for truth. And the reader finds him or herself pulled into the depths of our shared human experience as Cohen deconstructs the mind's objections with precision, insight, and humour, always calling on the heart to embrace the living possibility of liberation here and now. About the Author Andrew Cohen is a spiritual teacher, cultural visionary, and founder of the global nonprofit EnlightenNext and its award-winning publication EnlightenNext magazine. His original teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment redefines spiritual awakening within the context of cosmic evolution and highlights a new understanding of God or Spirit as the creative impulse toward change in both self and culture. After a transformative meeting with the renowned Advaita Vedanta master H.W.L. Poonja in 1986, Cohen began teaching internationally and almost immediately started reshaping the larger cultural conversation about the purpose and significance of enlightenment in our time. He founded EnlightenNext magazine almost twenty years ago as a forum for serious spiritual and philosophical inquiry, and has since become known for his unique capacity to foster culture-changing dialogues among leading thinkers from a wide array of traditions and disciplines.
