Andrew Cohen Interviewed in Israel part 1

During his Israeli tour in September of 2006 to inaugurate the new EnlightenNext center in Tel Aviv, Andrew Cohen was interviewed by Itay Mautner, a journalist from Mahut Hachayim (Essence of Life), a spiritual website.

They spoke about the nature of enlightenment, or spiritual freedom, and how the life conditions in Israel are not conducive for such freedom because Israelis are naturally preoccupied with survival. Cohen spoke about the urgent need to create a new moral and philosophical context for Israeli culture in order to overcome the materialism, narcissism, and cynicism that characterized secular society there at present. He emphasized the need to see life not in a limited national/cultural context, but as part of a very vast perspective—a 14-billion-year process.

Cohen is a bit like a 12 year old who has just discovered orgasm and is now teaching the neighbourhood what he found.He has no idea where it may lead, but hey,it feels so great, lets go for it...

it will be a bleak chapter in human history if he gets his way.

what is so great about blindly following the evolutionary impulse, eros, as he calls it. that impulse has now left us with 6.7 billion people on a dying earth,4 billion are underfed...hurrah for evolutionary impulse...

yeah but you can still "get somthing" even from the not so great teachers

[kevinherbert]

Romperjet: where do you hail from?

[kevinherbert]

The reason people in Israel is at war is becuase THEY CHOOSE TO BE AT WAR....the interviewer's inference that it's an inescapable part of being an Israeli is pewkinducing...the world is progressively against Israel becuase it is a repressive, apartheid regime.....currently under the control of right wing idiots..

[jcc152509]

Yeah he is a charlatan. Read some of the books that are critical of him and his teachings. An absolute douche bag.

Talk about an ego....
