A collection of recent talks at Manifest Nirvana
In the next in this series of talks, Andrew Cohen explores the two dimensions of experience that truly have the power to liberate, reminding us that ultimate freedom is never found in the maze of the mind, nor in our endless fascination with the frontal self. In the end, we must always be brought to our knees by a secret that is exploding beyond time, and that cannot be held or understood by the mind in any way.
In this episode of our bi-weekly series and our first event of 2023, Andrew Cohen speaks about new beginnings – our yearning for a fresh start, a second chance in life, or a spiritual epiphany…
What he says may surprise you!
In this episode of our bi-weekly series, Andrew Cohen looks at the delicate tension between pragmatic realism and absolute idealism. Can we cultivate a mature and rational idealism rooted in temporal reality, while never losing sight of the most elevated reference point – the unmanifest perfection that reveals itself in higher state experiences – as our “true north”?
Andrew Cohen invites us to explore our relationship to time with clear eyes and open hearts, asking us to consider what an evolutionarily awakened relationship to the past, present and future would actually look like. He highlights the importance of cultivating a conscious relationship to the significance of time, timelessness, and history – and points to the possibility of a future that embraces what has brought us to this moment while remaining radically unbound and free.
Andrew Cohen dives into the deep mystery of the choosing faculty, and describes how liberated choice-making is paradoxically a process of giving up control at the deepest level, and simultaneously taking full responsibility for the choices we make and the actions we take.
Join Andrew on this mind-expanding journey into higher consciousness, and discover what it takes if we truly want to become more conscious about the self we are embodying – and, even more importantly, the choices we are making in each and every moment.
Andrew Cohen dares us to consider the possibility that it is only through an encounter with the absolute that our souls can be compelled to evolve towards higher levels of human development – and it is only at these higher developmental frequencies that a divinely-inspired compulsion to align with the evolutionary impulse, and the evolution of the cosmos itself, finally appears.
Andrew Cohen invites us to explore the many different definitions and manifestations of freedom, pointing towards a new relationship to the whole idea of what freedom might mean. His evolutionary teaching adds a vertical dimension to our understanding, enabling us to reach an ever higher, more coherent, and subtle appreciation of freedom in both absolute and relative contexts. If you yearn for a more enlightened actualisation of your own freedom to choose, Andrew offers a simple and positive pathway towards greater clarity, redefining what freedom means at ground level, within the complex setting of our own lives.
Andrew Cohen defines the term coherence from the perspective of evolutionary becoming, urging us to consider the true meaning and significance of enlightenment in the 21st century. Are we prepared to liberate ourselves not merely individually, but collectively – to come together to create the conditions in which radical coherence becomes not only possible, but the very axis upon which our life turns?
Andrew Cohen invites us to dive into inspired uncertainty as a way to hold the overwhelming complexity of the relative world. Can we find the courage to deeply interrogate our subjective experience, and recognise that in a relative context there is no final truth?
