sorenl, nice..of course it's nice...i am just wondering whats new about it?

where's the difference here and all the truth and wisdom i have read 30 years ago in old Indian sriptures,( Vedas) written down 5000years ago?..i have read in all the books like from Yogananda, Shrila Prabhupada, Rudolf Steiner,Krishnamurti, and many old schools like the theosphy etc, or newer, like Ken Carey or Eileen Caddy and many other spiritualists...

..am i missing something?

I think the news in Andrews approach to Enlightenment is that it is not a personal matter anymore. Great masters and cultures have evolved consciousness to a point in which we experience our selves as highly individuated entities. The leap that Andrew sees in his vision humanity has to take, is for these highly individuated Egos, caught in narssicism and selfconcern, to come together beyond Ego to create a new culture.

The evolution of consciousness becomes a collective endeavor between you and me just because we decide this is the most important thing there is to do right now. Enlightenment is no longer just a state of consciousness, but a new structure or stage in consciousness from where we create the future together.

Beautiful video Soren! The very notion that consciousness is evolving through me and that I am responsable for the next step in evolution is the most thrilling and at the same time implicating realisation possible. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your comment. And yes it is thrilling and implicating and we are in it together.

It's been said many times before, and yes it's been written for thousands of years, however how often is it actually done? How often do people make the actual effort to escape from ego and actually accomplish it? Extremely rare. No one wants to let go of ego, it's just as hard as facing death itself. Yet afterwards you become completely alive.

[harlequinhybrid]

That's good what he's saying about participating in consciousness and helping to evolve society forward, but whether you like it or not you already are.

The true founders of an integral, evolutionary spirituality were Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Go straight to the source rather than to shallow rip-offs.

Joshua,

The door is open to all. Can't lead you thru, but can be there when you get there. Your first order of business is to accept these possibiities as a reality. You will then start to see deeper truths. Everything is true, just on deeper levels. Once that begins to resonate with you, will be able to start shedding your ego self and begin to get more in touch with your higher self.

My heart smiles at yours.
