And that's found through doing, through action, through giving, through deeply embracing the human experience.

Almost all the ideas we have about being a man or being a woman are so burdened with pain, anxiety, fear and self-doubt. For many of us, the confusion around this question is excruciating.

To campaign against colonialism is like barking up a tree that has already been cut down.

I believe that any individual who has spiritually awakened in our time, to the degree that he or she finds a higher and deeper motive for living, is going to be driven to fight the good fight in one way or another... And in order to fight the good fight, we have to engage, we have to get into the ring, not just stand outside it and be philosophers.
Andrew Cohen
Image
We are all capable of greatness when we know without any doubt that we are directly connected to a higher purpose.
Andrew Cohen

The excitement that you were feeling about a special, unique path for yourself as a woman is all part of your identification with and attachment to being female. And that's ultimately all ego.
Andrew Cohen
