Being & Becoming: Exploring the Teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment

This collection of teachings by Andrew Cohen has been prepared especially for participants in the EnlightenNext Discovery Cycle - an integrated annual cycle of programs and events dedicated to the evolution of consciousness and culture. Originally published in 2009 as two volumes, this combined 2010 edition opens with a comprehensive new essay, "The Evolution of Enlightenment," by Andrew Cohen, in which he illuminates the difference between what he describes as "traditional enlightenment," and what he calls "the new enlightenment" or Evolutionary Enlightenment... In the excerpts selected for this book, edited from his talks and retreats, Andrew Cohen guides readers in an exploration of the two fundamental dimensions of reality seen through the lens of enlightened awareness; Being and Becoming. As he explains in the opening essay, together they make up an integral and truly holistic view on what enlightenment is and, as he makes clear, should be, for the twenty-first century.
