Moral Development

[buddhaneo]

Where there is no experimental activity, there will be no growth. Life is a great Experiment of God, so it makes sense to experiment, and thus cooperate with the creative/evolutionary impulse.

[jackebner]

why does every other sentence in both his magazine and videos contain the word "post-modern", that is just weird, I doubt he or his followers even understand what that means. I think he uses it as codeword for "I am the future". It's become like an old vinyl record skipping, someone needs to slap him on the side of the head to move him onto another thought.

I think the look on their faces says it all...

Life isn't a process, it's a drama.

From God, through God, to God. No "evolution" there. But, yes, a moral drama.

Absent from this lecture is the dynamic of the supernatural. Namely Grace, which is gratuitous.

I could go on and on.

He's saying a little with a lot of words. Reminds me of Tom Cruise on Scientology.

Just talking and talking and talking...ego, the process, evolution, morality, caring.

I think I'll go read some St. Teresa of Avila. Now there's a doer.

No, Cohen's not a complete charlatan, but he projects a lot of tension and vanity. An enormous ego there -- not nondual at all.

[ThePantherJoe]

Great. Everybody has to care! There is no GOD to do this for you. Everybody is responsable.

[babbibba]

There is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his Messenger. He is the All Knowing, the king of the heavens and earth, the creator of the universe and all things. People dont complicate your lives. it is very simple. Allah (God) is the King of the kings He created us to worship Him and obey Him. We do what He commands us, we are His slaves. We will be rewarded for obeying Him and Punished for disobeying Him. Go and find out whats the purpose of life. Welcome to the truth, ISLAM.

If I wanted a lecture on morality, I would start going to church. Isn't Andrew supposed to be enlightened? Why isn't he pointing people towards self-inquiry? All this talk of "moral development" is candy for the egoic mind; it will only cause the ego to identify with one's image as a "moral person".

[DanielRamosIII]

What he says is simplistic and this is what makes it profound, and this is also why it is easy to illegitimate his message. I just ask the people who are commenting to really ask themselves how they live? On the computer constantly, working at a job they don't like, eating all foods with out regard to their production, not knowing where their resources come from, not reflecting on their context and roles in society? Is this is how you live? This is the post-modern nightmare come reality.

Read the dialogues between Cohen and Wilber in "What is Enlightement," now, "Enlightenment Next." They say the same thing over and over and over again.

waanzinnig!! top!kan de paus nog een puntje aan zuigen

[3yahweh3]

A challenge to all Cohenians out there: write to me and try to convince me - the Skeptic - that Cohen's not a complete charlatan, dipensing half-thoughts and warmed-over Paul Tillich while giving the entire mess a catchy(and copyrighted!) handle: Evolutionary Enlightenment.

[garyco3]

Doesnt it mean then that others can take advantage of you?

So important. So many thanks for posting!
