Where There Is No Other (Quote of the Week)

March 8th, 2010 by Andrew Cohen· 11 Comments · Consciousness, Cultural Evolution, Evolutionary Enlightenment, Evolutionary Spirituality, Quote of the Week, Spirituality

One Between Two

November 10th, 2009 by Andrew Cohen· 6 Comments · Cultural Evolution, Evolutionary Enlightenment, Quote of the Week

The goal of Evolutionary Enlightenment is the emergence of a miraculous potential that I call “intersubjective nonduality.” What does that mean? “Nonduality” is most commonly used to mean oneness, or not-two-ness. It points to the perennial spiritual revelation that there is no other. And “intersubjective” means between subjects. So “intersubjective nonduality,” to put it simply, [...]

June 25th, 2009 by Tom Huston· 8 Comments · Buddhism, Consciousness, EnlightenNext magazine, Integral Philosophy, Religion, Spirituality

On Monday night, EnlightenNext founder Andrew Cohen and many of his students engaged in a fascinating and powerful dialogue with Zen Master Genpo Merzel at the EnlightenNext World Center in Lenox, Massachusetts.

Vimala Thakar: Liberation Beyond Gender

May 5th, 2009 by Elizabeth Debold· 7 Comments · Consciousness, Cultural Evolution, Evolutionary Enlightenment, Spirituality

Why don’t we know more about Vimala Thakar? I’ve just written a memoriam for our next issue about Vimala, a fiercely independent enlightened sage who pioneered a truly integrated form of inner and outer transformation, and the more I think about who she was and what she stands for, the more strange it becomes that [...]

A Progressive Revelation of the Absolute (Think About This #51)

April 8th, 2009 by Tom Huston· No Comments · Evolutionaries, Evolutionary Spirituality, Idealism, Philosophy, Think About This

As the world continues to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Darwin’s Origin of Species, which to many people also signifies the origin of the idea of evolution itself, it seems worth noting—as we did in our article “A Brief History of Evolutionary Spirituality”—that the general concept of evolution began cooking in human consciousness long before [...]
