More nonsense from Cohen on ‘evolutionary enlightenment’
An Introduction to Evolutionary Enlightenment
In relation to previous post, it is also important to see how New Age movements are coopted by monotheistic religions, and get turned into fakes.
Andrew Cohen is a fake ‘guru’ created to forestall real New Age movements which tend to be atheistic, behind a theistic front.
Cohen’s theme of evolutionary enlightenment is a pile of confusion, and we have commented on that many times here.
Cohen here discusses the notorious episode with his so-called teacher, and gives away the fact that he never reached enlightenment, a kind of ‘satori’, it seems.
Trying to wiseacre ‘enlightenment’ with a new brand is good for business, or if you are desperate like Cohen.
I would beware of him.
My teachings are about spiritual enlightenment — both what we could call traditional enlightenment, and also what I call the new enlightenment, or Evolutionary Enlightenment. Traditional enlightenment is what I learned from my teacher, but Evolutionary Enlightenment is what I have discovered and created in my own work over the last almost quarter of a century. During this time, I have discovered a new source of emotional, psychological and spiritual liberation that easily exists within anyone’s reach, anyone who has the eyes to recognize it and the heart to desire it. To put it simply, enlightenment is evolving. It is no longer found only in the bliss of timeless Being; it is found also in the ecstatic urgency of evolutionary Becoming.
