ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN –“Another artist, recognising ahigher  power above, gladly works as a humble apprentice beneath God’sheaven; then, however, his responsibility for everything that is written ordrawn, for the souls which perceive his work, is more exacting than ever. But,in return, it is not he who has created this world, not he who directs it,there is no doubt as to its foundations; the artist has merely to be morekeenly aware than others of the harmony of the world, of the beauty andugliness of the human contribution to it, and to communicate this acutely tohis fellow-men. And in misfortune, and even at the depths of existence indestitution, in prison, in sickness — his sense of stable harmony never desertshim.”          

ALEXANDER SOLZHENITSYN –“One artist sees himself as thecreator of an independent spiritual world;… but he crumples beneath it, for amortal genius is not capable of bearing such a burden.

At thefrontiers of human development, consciousness itself seems to be leaping beyondthe confines of individuation, dramatically revealing new, thrilling, andunimagined possibilities of higher integration.”   

Andrew Cohen –“But genuine spiritual awakening is also theexplosive emergence of the evolutionary impulse in human consciousness. Withthe submission of the ego and the surrender of the personal will, theindividual becomes aware of the presence of a powerful and unyielding energy.That energy is the movement of the life-force in a self-propelled state ofconscious evolution or becoming.”   

ANDREW COHEN –“Doubt is Maya’s face revealing itself. Itwill always try and tempt the weak-minded to turn tail and run… Serious seekersknow they must face whatever is to be faced, because they must, succeed. Theselucky few discover something very unexpected: Liberation in thisbirth.”   

ANDREW COHEN –“Doubt is Maya’s face revealing itself.

These lucky few discover something very unexpected:Liberation in this birth.”   

ANDREW COHEN –“Soul Consciousness The soul… in most of us,desperately needs to be developed. Too many of us live in a fractured state,deeply divided against ourselves. We exist in a self-generated vacuum of moralambiguity, where everything is relative and our attention is focused mainly onour emotional state… We need to embrace a kind of fearless vulnerability whereour transparency is our strength and the living experience of connection ispermanent, unbroken and inescapable.”   

ANDREW COHEN –“Spiritual progress itself is part of theillusion, even though it seems real. Something has happened, I’m changing, I’mgoing somewhere, something is happening to me. Finally one realises thatnothing happened, ever. You realise that all the drama of life was only adream. Even the waking up.”  

ANDREW COHEN –“The age of personal or individualenlightenment is over. In the 21st century, the context for deep, authentic,serious spirituality — transformational spirituality — is evolution, not onlyof the individual but beyond. I   for those at the leading edge, thepassionate pursuit and defenses of individualization have reached a dead end.The very movement toward higher development now calls for a leap beyond thepersonal sphere. The pursuit of enlightened consciousness has traditionallybeen the path of the heroic and extraordinary individual. But now theevolutionary imperative of our time seems to be compelling us to develop beyondwhat we could call personal realization to something else altogether. At thefrontiers of human development, consciousness itself seems to be leaping beyondthe confines of individuation, dramatically revealing new, thrilling, andunimagined possibilities of higher integration.”    

Andrew Cohen –“The source and ground of everything that hasbecome, and that is even now in a constant state of becoming, is that placewhere there is no time and where nothing ever happened. Nothing and Somethingcannot be separated because they are simply two sides of the same coin. That’sthe meaning of non-duality and that is what enlightenment is.”  

Andrew Cohen –“There are two fundamental components of theexperience of enlightenment. One is the profound and overwhelming discovery ofthe primordial ground of reality itself. That ground is where there is no time,where the unmanifest, unborn Self abides in the consciousness of absolute zero,or no thing whatsoever. In the awakened state, that primordial ground emergesin consciousness as the direct experience of everything being perfect just asit is.” 

ANDREW COHEN –“When you awaken to the creative principle,you discover that the whole point of being here is to participate fully,radically, consciously in the evolutionary process. So in what I callevolutionary enlightenment, the goal is not merely to transcend the world sothat you can be free of it, but to embrace the world completely, to embrace theentire process as your own self, knowing that you are the creative principleincarnate, and you have a lot of work to do. That is why, when you relinquishthe ego and say yes to the powerful impulse to evolve, you find that you are intouch with a source of strength and conviction that is boundless. As anindividual, you are instantaneously liberated, simply through taking that step,but that liberation is merely a byproduct of finally embracing theawe-inspiring burden of the evolutionary process itself.”
