Evolutionary Enlightenment: An Interview with Andrew Cohen – part 1
Author, spiritual teacher and cultural visionary Andrew Cohen, in this first excerpt of an exclusive interview for Life Arts Media, discusses the very core of the teaching of ‘Evolutionary Enlightenment’ (which is also the title of his latest book).
The scientific theory of evolution and the eastern concept of enlightenment are a continuum in Cohen’s teaching.
The same creative impulse which began about 14 billions years ago with big bang, which gave rise to the Universe, is the same impetus that we as human can discover in deepest experience of our being, which drives us to innovate and create that which is new. Human consciousness, capable of looking back and cognise this process as well as of experiencing care and compassion for for all sentient beings and biological life, is the very edge of that impersonal evolutionary process. This idea, which becomes a profound experience through our own introspection, transcends thus the traditional scientific mechanistic view of the nature.

ShareDo You Know Yourself?
Do you know yourself? You are not your body, although you have a body. You cannot say I am my foot, but you can say I have a foot. You are not your emotions or feelings, although you feel them, you can say I feel such and such thing. But you don’t say I am this [...]

When Love sits with Love
Love is pure, it simply gives, it simply is, it flows, unbounded rivers of eternal bliss. When two who are love sit eye to eye, the Universe sits eye to eye with itself. Eons pass between them in moments, oceans encapsulated in droplets. Dimensions open before them, offering a multiverse of unlimited experience, with an [...]

The infinite Self looked for itself in everything arising out of itself. Uncovered and stripped to absolution, only itself remains. Without it nothing can be, known or seen, it is the life of all things, even inanimate. Nothing is real but this power that lives, all else is dreamt playing upon it. It fabricates all [...]

ShareMany Cultures, One Community
Now, at the youthful end of the 20 teens, the world is engaged in a flurry of activity, piety, consumption and self-realisation. Widespread belief in concepts like ‘healing’ and ‘synchronicity’ and the ‘illuminati’ combined with part-time, freelance employment patterns, seem to characterise the age. Indeed it feels very much like we are at the dawn [...]
ShareThe Tao & Social Action
Whether you believe movements like ‘Occupy Wall Street,’ or ‘We are the 99%,’ represent valid social concerns, what is clear is that they are representative of a growing global class struggle. Though you might believe that assessment is boastful, or even wishful thinking on the part of the protesters, it is, none-the-less, the position held [...]

Longing Is Not Love
When we create a situation where we long for something, what we really desire is a piece of ourselves that’s missing. When you meet someone who sets your world on its side and is not available – you are the one who is not available.

Comedians as Taoist Missionaries
I’ve worked as a paid stand-up comedian on the West Coast for 12 years. It’s fascinating, rewarding, and usually compelling – but it’s still work. Comedians joke around a lot and are usually fun people, but the job itself is not especially amusing. I’ve heard that dancing in strip clubs isn’t that sexy, either. My [...]
