The “you” who is chasing enlightenment will never become enlightened. Instead of striving towards some distant goal that you will never reach, Adyashanti invites you to stop and ask: How am I avoiding the enlightenment that is already present in each moment? How am I seeing separation where it doesn’t exist?

European Civilization, 1648-1945 (HIST 202) While the major philosophical projects of the Enlightenment are associated with the names of individual thinkers such as Montesquieu, Rousseau, and Voltaire, the cultural transformation in France in the years leading up to the Revolution should also be understood in the context of the public sphere and popular press. Alongside such luminaries as those associated with Diderot’s Encyclopédie were a host of lesser pamphleteers and libellists eager for fame and some degree of fortune. If the writings of this latter group were typically vulgar and bereft of literary merit, they nonetheless contributed to the “desacralization” of monarchy in the eyes of the growing literate public. Lawyers’ briefs, scandal sheets and pornographic novels all played a role in robbing the monarchy of its claim to sacred authority at the same time as they helped advance the critique of despotism that would serve as a major impetus for the Revolution. 00:00 – Chapter 1.

This 12-minute feature video is an inside look at Evolutionary Enlightenment in action—through Andrew Cohen’s own words and in the accounts of those who are participating with him in a living laboratory for conscious evolution. In November 2005, Andrew declared a “monumental shift” in his teaching work, which marked the emergence of a higher collective consciousness: “Many of my students have finally started to directly experience and express the very essence of what this teaching points to — a goal that until now I’ve seen only in the eye of my own mind and in rare, temporary bursts of intersubjective enlightened consciousness.” Now, in this multidimensional documentary, you’ll get a glimpse of what’s occurring at the cutting edge of Andrew’s teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment. You’ll hear people describing their experience of the authentic self which, infused with its own intelligence, insight, and directionality, may even be revealing the way to a higher order of human development . . .
