Introduction to Evolutionary Enlightenment
(Based on teachings of Andrew Cohen)
(May 17th Chennai; May 18th Bangalore) (2008)
 
 
Evolutionary Enlightenment is an original nonsectarian spiritual path for the 21st century. It unites the transcendent freedom of enlightenment with the innate human desire to change and to evolve.
 
Developed by spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen, the teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment presents a revolutionary new potential for individual and collective human development at the emerging edge of consciousness. It is about passionately engaging with Life from a liberated and free perspective. This teaching provides a new vision for humanity – a possibility for evolving mature human beings, who have become transparent and authentic, dropping all the veils of false separation, to engage in the development of consciousness and culture.
 
This talk will explore some of the dimensions of the teaching like Ground of Being, Ego (the separate sense self), Authentic Self (the part of us that cares passionately about evolution), the significance of meditation, the Choosing Faculty and the ultimate purpose of this human birth itself. This introduction will hence be the start, to help you to discover:
  • How we can create a new culture, founded on enlightened consciousness and higher values
  • How we can contribute to a positive future through your own transformation and ongoing development
  • Why we find it so difficult to consistently evolve and come together with others
  • What is required for each of us to make the shift from experiencing powerful spiritual insights to actually building a new and more evolved culture between us

A Brief History of Evolutionary Spirituality:
 
History as a whole is a progressive, gradually self-disclosing revelation of the Absolute –  an ever greater expression of "universal Spirit" within the realm of time and space. The motive force behind the evolutionary process is understood as consciousness itself.
 
Some of the champions of the revolutionary concept of "spiritual evolution" are Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Sri Aurobindo and Ken Wilber, to name a few. Teilhard saw the potential for human beings to come together in a higher integration or "megasynthesis" of a new evolutionary potential. Sri Aurobindo was the first to synthesize the modern understanding of evolution with the timeless revelation of enlightenment and pioneered the idea that human beings are capable of aligning their lives with the trajectory and purpose of the universe itself.
 
Andrew Cohen and his students are on a quest to find out what would human life based on the principles of "evolutionary spirituality" look like
