Andrew Cohen will guide us through an ever-deepening understanding of our relationship with the Absolute, building on the foundations laid in his previous session. This is an invitation to not only comprehend Enlightenment as the dissolution of separation but also to explore how we can live from that realisation in the evolving complexity of life. As always, Andrew’s teachings offer a powerful blend of philosophical insight and practical application, giving participants the tools to awaken to Spirit and integrate this understanding into their personal growth and daily experience.

In this bi-weekly teaching, Andrew Cohen invites us to explore the subtle and transcendent nature of the true self, recognizing the spirit as the silent witness that exists beyond the confines of mind and body. He reminds us that when we say “spirit is higher,” we acknowledge a perspective that transcends the temporary concerns of daily life, inviting us into a deeper understanding of our place in the cosmic process of becoming. This higher dimension is not distant but is the very core of our being, offering a vision of life that is expansive and interconnected. Cohen also illuminates the concept of non-duality as both an absolute singularity and a developmental continuum. While the ultimate truth is the seamless oneness of all existence, this realization unfolds progressively, guiding us through stages of increasing unity and clarity. By embracing both the eternal and the evolutionary aspects of non-duality, we are called to live a life of awakening, service, and profound transformation, committing to the continual expansion of consciousness.

In this bi-weekly teaching, Andrew Cohen invites us to reflect deeply on where we stand in our own journey—are we merely seeking to fulfill our personal desires, or are we ready to step into a greater context of meaning? He challenges us to see beyond the allure of self-actualization and recognize the call of self-transcendence. This shift is not about abandoning our individuality, but rather about realizing its fullest expression by becoming a conscious participant in the evolution of life itself. As we align with this higher purpose, we find that our own liberation is intricately woven into the liberation of all beings. Thus, Cohen’s teachings guide us not just toward personal enlightenment but toward a profound, collective awakening—a realization that the ultimate goal of our existence is not to become the best version of ourselves, but to transcend ourselves in the service of a greater, evolutionary purpose.

In this bi-weekly teaching, Andrew Cohen reminds us that enlightenment is not a solitary retreat into inner stillness, but a vibrant, ongoing dialogue with the world around us. “Realize and respond” calls us to continually integrate our deepest spiritual insights into the fabric of our daily lives, making every moment an opportunity to express the infinite potential we have awakened to. This teaching challenges us to embrace enlightenment as both a profound inner realization and a catalyst for meaningful, evolutionary action in the world.

Andrew Cohen delves into the profound significance of intersubjective nonduality, emphasizing its crucial role in awakening the “authentic Self.” He elucidates how this practice, rooted in Sri Aurobindo’s vision of a supramental consciousness, fosters a collective environment where individuals can transcend egoic boundaries and support each other’s spiritual growth. Through evolutionary dialogue and shared consciousness, Cohen illustrates how this collective practice can elevate the collective mind towards the enlightened state of the Buddha, transforming both individuals and communities towards their highest potential.

In this bi-weekly teaching, Andrew Cohen illuminates the path to living a deeply inspired and relevant life beyond compromise by emphasising the importance of the highest spiritual attainment. He guides us to reorient our values towards spiritual evolution, encouraging us to transcend our egoic limitations and align with the evolutionary impulse of the cosmos. By striving for the pinnacle of spiritual growth, we infuse our lives with profound meaning and purpose, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Cohen’s teachings inspire us to become beacons of light, uplifting not only our own existence but also contributing to the collective awakening of humanity, leaving compromise behind in favour of enlightened living.

In this bi-weekly teaching, Andrew Cohen delves into the profound paradox of spiritual evolution, where the infinite expanses of consciousness meet the tender vulnerability of our human experience. He guides us through the delicate art of holding these seemingly opposing realms in one non-dual embrace, illuminating the path to true integration. Cohen emphasises that true enlightenment is not an escape from our humanity but a deep engagement with it, where our openness to vulnerability becomes a powerful conduit for transcendent wisdom. Through his teachings, we learn to navigate the intricate dance between the boundless and the intimate, discovering a deeper, more compassionate way of being.

In this bi-weekly teaching, Andrew Cohen delves into the profound interplay between realism and idealism, illuminating how these seemingly opposing forces can harmonize to foster spiritual evolution. By grounding ourselves in the practical truths of our chaotic world while simultaneously embracing the boundless positivity of the spiritual impulse, we can navigate the complexities of this paradox. This synthesis not only anchors our aspirations in reality but also empowers us to envision and strive towards a more enlightened existence, merging the clarity of the present with the transformative potential of our highest ideals.

In this bi-weekly teaching, Andrew Cohen explores the nuanced measurement of spiritual progress, emphasising inner transformation over external achievements. He explains that true spiritual aspiration is driven by a yearning to align with the evolutionary impulse rather than seeking personal success. Success in spirituality, Cohen asserts, is not a static state but an ongoing journey of awakening, characterised by the ability to transcend ego, embody higher principles, and contribute to collective evolution with authenticity and love.
