We're making far too big a deal out of our sexual preferences. It's just another form of narcissism, and I think it can be a big problem and a tremendous obstacle.
Andrew CohenOur true nature is free of any and all notions of gender, of any notions of difference whatsoever.
Andrew CohenWe are all capable of greatness when we know without any doubt that we are directly connected to a higher purpose.
Andrew CohenThis is our challenge at the beginning of the twenty-first century - we need to find the courage to see our own spiritual yearnings in the biggest possible context, in such a way that is going to compel us to finally transcend our self-concern. We need to find the heart to come together in such a way that will enable us to face the challenges before us. And to do this, we need a new spirituality. We need a new enlightenment.
Andrew CohenSpiritual experiences and their results are not meant for the individual. They are for the evolution of the whole race.
Andrew CohenIn an evolutionary context, the goal of the spiritual life is not peace; it's perpetual development. Evolutionary enlightenment is about the ecstasy that compels us to create the future. And it's not a future that's going to unfold by itself while we go back to sleep. It's a future that we forge the hard way through direct, conscious, intentional engagement with the life-process itself.
