Evolutionary Enlightenment Podcast
This series of EnlightenNext Evolutionary Enlightenment podcasts is created from edited recordings of weekly conference calls. Evolutionary Enlightenment, an original teaching founded by Andrew Cohen, provides a philosophical framework for understanding humanity’s role in the vast forward march of evolution. It is also a system of personal and cultural development, rooted in the profound revelation of spiritual enlightenment that has fueled Andrew Cohen’s work for the past twenty years. Each week’s episode focuses on one of the fundamental aspects of Evolutionary Enlightenment, exploring topics that include meditation, authentic leadership, enlightened activism, soul development, and the evolution of consciousness.

If we don’t look closely, most of us will assume that when we think we are actually creating thoughts, but if you look more carefully isn’t it more accurate to conclude that you are putting your attention on thoughts that are being created by your mind. Our perception of reality is entirely based on the choices we make about which thoughts we believe to be true. For this reason a critical examination of our relationship to thought is an essential foundation on the path of Evolutionary Enlightenment.

Monday, May 21, 2007Consciousness, Ego and Enlightenment
Download this episode (38 min)
What is enlightenment? This is the question that Katherine Miller and I are going to go into during this week’s conference call. Andrew Cohen has sometimes defined enlightenment as consciousness beyond ego. Consciousness means awareness or the ability to perceive. Ego in the sense that we are using it refers to the separate sense of self or whoever it is that we think we are. So enlightenment means the ability to perceive beyond whoever it is that we think we are. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of the statement. For most of us, even brief moments of insight this deep are rare and when they do occur we never forget them.
