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.
The Creation and Evolution of the Self

On this webcast Elizabeth Debold and I will be examining the miraculous process of individuation, how it has evolved through time, and the possibility of actively guiding it into the future.
Individuation occurs when we develop the capacity to distinguish our psychological world from the external world, when we learn to distinguish between “self” and “other.” It is what gives us our sense of being “someone,” of “self” of “me-ness.”
Our uniquely human capacity to individuate has unleashed explosive creative potentials. It is arguably one of the most significant steps we have taken in our human development. But it also seems to be heading toward an evolutionary dead end. As we better understand the process of individuation, and its role in human development we will be better positioned to consciously guide the next step in our evolving sense of self.
