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.

Jeff Carreira and Carter Phipps, editor of EnlightenNext magazine, in the Guru and Pandit series discuss the evolutionary work that Andrew Cohen is engaged in with his students. This dialogue, from issue 35 of the magazine, is entitled “A Living Experiment in Conscious Evolution.” In this, the fourteenth, Guru and Pandit dialogue, Cohen shares how he has been working with his students while Wilber places this evolutionary experiment in an integral framework. It is a remarkable exchange highlighting the need for both “experience” and “theory,” the creative tension that is the hallmark of the long-standing relationship between Cohen, the guru, and Wilber, the pandit.
