@isellsoap1 It's as if he has it all worked out from an intellectual perspective, which is nothing more than another ego trip. I don't like this guy, he is highly manipulative and at the end of the day it's a money making venture which makes him little more than an entrepreneur.

This is the best description ever of the term, authentic self. In reading some of the posts, there is the detection of animosity towards what Andrew is saying. There is truth in the saying, the truth hurts especially when one is not ready or open to the recognition of truth. What Andrew says has very deep meanings incorporated into the statements and as such they can be misconstrued. Choose listening with an open consciousness. The meanings are very enlightening. cherylfncrae@gmail.com.

@supertruthful ur right he's just telling people to be themselves but in a moneymaking complex way...

@KopeckyOci

he does look scared for some unknown weird reason. all drymouthed and whatnot.

[SuperTruthful]

I don't buy what he is selling. A bit contrived to me.

@cspace1234nz ya for a long time I didn't know what to think of this guy, but he is a great person to jump onto stage wisdom, that's for sure.

[KopeckyOci]

He looks scared...And like he's condescendingly talking to a naughty child.

[daycart0]

I find this guy to be annoying.

@cherylmcrae28 so all of us who disagree with Andrew's "truth" are just not ready or open enough to perceive his wisdom? How arrogant! And how convenient - you just dismiss these people with a "one size fits all" put down, rather than accept that others may have a legitimate argument.

people.the ego is a good thing. if you can train yourself to manipulate it, youre on to something big. the trouble is that the ego is also great at disguising itself as the real self.this is where it gets to us. know it well enough. and wel be fine.

This guy it SO repetitive, and his message is extremely simplistic. I would definitely categorize this as spirituality for total dummies! Andrew Cohen is a fraud.
