Andrew Cohen: Evolutionary Enlightenment

[epicbattle7]

You are all searching answers, don't grasp onto the first people who spin your head with nonsense talk



[epicbattle7]

When sociopaths manipulate the vulnerable



[acuaman42]

Mr. Cohen assumes that humans have free will which is a big mistake. I suggest to the viewers of this video to read the latest book by Stephen Hawking, THE GRAND DESIGN, which is free on the net, on it, he proves that all this universe and millions of other universes are just holograms created by quantum interactions, so there is no evolution of any kind.

i dont know why people r so obsesed whit enlightenment do u even know what tha is ,burn to ur latest atom till nothingness ,wtf? what u didnt knew?

[gotrootdude]

Fungus and many types of extremophiles grow in total darkness.

[deftroniks]

The only thing we know is that we Don't know anything.

The only constant thing is change.

We don't need to buy any books to learn that.

[dataspongetube]

@deftroniks A most poignant analysis, could it be enhanced, perhaps, by changing the "anything" to "everything"?

[VegaBjorn]

Nu human is or can be "concious of conciousness". We ARE already conciousness and there is nothing else. If someone is concious of something, as if was being something outside of them, then there is a split, then there is dualism, which is always illusion. There is just oneness, effortless awareness. All is actually perfect. Don't indulge in teachings that are creating dualism. All dualism is illusion. You are already that which always was perfect. Bliss, peace stillness, love./Blessings

[TehNoxon]

@VegaBjorn How can you denounce dualism and all dualistic teachings and then sign off with "Blessings"? The very notion of a blessing is positive, which implies the existence of the negative. You may have some thinking to do. 500 million yin/yang tattoos can't be wrong! :)

[knaggelpuff]

@TehNoxon Positive and negative as in the yin/yang are interdependant on eachother. They are in the same circle and thus utlimately one and the same. Only seemingly are they split.

[DarkEyedJunko]

What the heck is this guy talking about? Sounds like a lot of new age babble to me.

Why should we take this guy as an authority on spiritual enlightment anyway?

[k9kev9]

And "God"? Whatever you call God, (Christ, Allah, even Pete Townshend) He/She/It is the same thing: Oneness. ENERGY. Asian culture had this figured-out eons ago.

[k9kev9]

You live to procreate. You procreate to pass-on your genes. Your genes are modified by your life-experiencES. Life is all about passing-on your experiences (preconsciously) so "the next level" of consciousness (not death, which is "the next level" of existence) can take human experience and make life livable. Take & Make. It's everyone's mission.

[k9forkids]

There is no "GOD"....there is only Oneness. We and everything thing you have seen and touched came from the same source. Light is Life and always has been. Try growing a Plant in Total darkness. Our Goal or purpose of life is to go through evolution...your mind is being distracted and controlled so you do no chose see the light.

[Ronanal]

quite some open doors are kicked open here............

[cscottblev]

that is all well and good....but is simply a perspective on THIS. THIS is all there is. and that is just a perspective on THIS.

THIS is all there is

and all there is is THIS....

THIS

[IsaacBG84]

2 Timothy 3:1-5 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

[eye10rant]

freeze the frame at 2:53!

[who000are000you]

Awakening is inevitable, but it is still a miracle.

[MalSplifing]

I think the My Legendary Self name tag says it all (about himself)

[MyLegendarySelf]

Interesting, but inescapably shallow and unsatisfying.

[rgn39]

What is it that evolves? My dreams differ but the in all these years I have not changed.

[bzdame]

I guess the endless stream of people walking inside a turning world is supposed to have some emotional effect on the viewer, but it's not very original. Cohen is clearly more enthralled with himself than is his audience. The corporate, white-guy-in-control approach is as stuffy and dated as it looks. Come down from your pulpit, Andy, and speak to us as equals.

[lincolnposte]

"...with and as the very force that created it."

Beatiful. That's it.

But searlv, hilariously, I think you meant 'asceticism', not 'aesthetic-ism'! You see, upon realizing the enlightened perspective, Andrew's aesthetic line somehow 'froze'. I mean come on, those horrible fitted suits? And hair and mustache? Can you say, busted by Erik Estrada on an episode of CHiPs circa 1979? Lol. Definitely out of the running for doing any teaching on 'aesthetism' were such a word to exist.

Mazel Tov!

[searlv]

All the great spiritual thinkers of our time (and indeed earlier times) teach the same - of universality of oneness. But it is amazingly difficult to achieve and this is where these thinkers should be focusing their teaching. Ancient paths to enlightenment, such s aestheticism are not realistic for the vast western population. Andrew, tune into the universe and show us more of the path that will allow us to directly experience the oneness. this creates permanent change.

[Ruberneck]

i believe this theory, however it is very hard to participate in this process as one feels somewhat alone in this endeavour. This form of spirituality is not as of yet, or should i say 'this level of awareness' is not yet part of our western world, it's not our culture, therefore one can feel somewhat alone in trying to embrace this...'thing!!'.  I feel i have the ability to be profoundly spiritual, but i was brought up in dark, drinking ireland..i am aware, but i feel no one else around is..

[Debunker12]

Is it just me or does this guy look like Jamie Kennedy dressed up??

[NicoleLLang]

Sounds like Eckhart Tolle and many others before Tolle. However, I think what Andrew is saying is present within current religious traditions, in terms of looking at the world through the lens of their vocation - yet to discover and be aware of their voication is another issue - it seems that some of us are just simply surviving without recognizing the creative priniciple among us.

[ManaAloha]

It can't be stopped. (so true) Embrace it - thanks Andrew and thanks for sharing some of Spiral Dynamics in WIE. It's made a difference in going from "me" to "We"
