What is Evolutionary Enlightenment?

The San Francisco Regional Center of the Impersonal Enlightenment Fellowship will be presenting a video tape talk by Andrew Cohen on the subject of Evolutionary Enlightenment. Andrew Cohen is a modern day mystic whose ongoing inquiry into the meaning and significance of enlightenment is giving rise to a new spirituality, a comprehensive and profound liberation teaching for the twenty-first century. His message is not only to "be here now," but to "do here now." As Andrew says, "this body wasn’t built for silent absorption in the unmanifest, it was built to actively participate in the manifest universe, because that’s what it’s a part of. We’re all part of an evolutionary process. So when we begin to understand the experience of enlightenment in the context of evolution, what we want to do is to free the vehicle, the human personality, from its compulsive identification with the fears and desires of the ego, or the separate self, so that it will be able to wholeheartedly and unselfconsciously participate in the life process for the greatest cause there is. When we see through the ego, we discover a much deeper meaning in the life process, and then there’s a tremendous passion for actually being able to participate. And suddenly being alive and being who we are becomes a thrilling, very meaningful adventure." To find out more about the teachings of Andrew Cohen please visit: www.andrewcohen.org. We hope to see you there and enliven you holidays with spiritual and evolutionary passion.
