More quotes by Andrew Cohen
As far as I'm concerned, the spiritual life is just like any other endeavor-you can succeed or fail. And when the goal is actual evolution beyond ego in an intersubjective context, success or failure is plain for all to see.
Andrew Cohen
When you meditate you discover over and over again that you are not a prisoner of your mind.
Andrew Cohen
We have to be willing to give up all the injustices of the past that did exist - and that do exist right now. When we become interested in liberation, we then become interested in that which transcends time.
Andrew Cohen
Our relationship to reality and to our experience is all based upon the ideas in our mind that we're always trying to live up to.
Andrew Cohen
We are all capable of greatness when we know without any doubt that we are directly connected to a higher purpose.
Andrew Cohen
It is not enough to be well-intentioned one must strive to put those intentions into action in a capable way. One must consider the effect his actions will have on others. Looked at like this, to persist in ignorance is itself dishonorable

There's nothing tantric about my particular view on life.
Andrew Cohen
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 Cohen
Most men are very attached to the idea of being male, and usually experience a lot of fear and insecurity around the idea of being a man. Most women are very identified with their gender, and also experience a tremendous amount of fear and insecurity.
Andrew Cohen
Freedom has no history.
Andrew Cohen
We really have to be willing to find out who we are instead of rebelling for the equal rights that we've been denied, that we do deserve.
Andrew Cohen
One of the most extraordinary things about being a spiritual teacher is the rare privilege of being able to look deeply into the very souls of many human beings at the same time.
Andrew Cohen
When a human being becomes so still that they begin to lose awareness of their gender, and they are simply looking into that abyss where there is no notion of self whatsoever, the world disappears. And that's really the only place to go. It's the only place to remain.
Andrew Cohen
Our true nature is free of any and all notions of gender, of any notions of difference whatsoever.
Andrew Cohen
If you know only one language, you're a prisoner, stuck in the tyranny of that one language.
Andrew Cohen
Whenever a human being ceases to live for themselves and begins to care about that which is greater than themselves, the personality begins to experience ecstasy, joy and spontaneous liberation. And that's found through doing, through action, through giving, through deeply embracing the human experience.
Andrew Cohen
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
