Long description
Andrew Cohen is a controversial character. Enlightened teacher, evolutionary philosopher, revolutionary idealist and vocal cultural critic, he has sparked both rage and passion in the post-modern spiritual world. Uncompromising in his call for human transformation, people either love him or hate him. No one feels neutral. Why is it that Andrew Cohen has so angered some and so inspired others? Why is it that as a spiritual teacher with no tradition behind him he was invited to address the Parliament of World Religions in 2004? It is because of his ruthless deconstruction of cultural givens, his relentless quest to see things as they are and explore them in the light of liberated consciousness and his unyielding demand for integrity.In Eleven Days at the Edge: A Journey into Evolutionary Enlightenment , you will join the author on a retreat with Andrew to find this out firsthand, and also to discover a radical new spiritual paradigm that reinterprets the traditional revelation of enlightenment in the context of an evolving universe. The emergence of this paradigm helps us to discover that intersection between our spiritual longing, and our care for the world, where both are radically empowered to reach heights that neither could reach alone.
