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.

More quotes by Andrew Cohen
There was just too much evidence, from too many witnesses, pointing too many fingers at Ryan and his colleague for either defense team to have been able to portray it as a coincidence or a witch hunt or anything short of widespread corruption. And that's why we see this verdict.
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
I'm not convinced that what are traditionally considered to be male energies or qualities or female energies or qualities really have as much to do with gender as many people think they do.
Andrew Cohen
Anyone who wants to be truly free must be willing to stand alone in the truth.
Andrew Cohen
Those of us who have transcended mythical belief systems know without any doubt that there is no God up in the sky. But when we awaken to what I call the evolutionary impulse - the mysterious passion to evolve, to become, to develop on every level-we rediscover who God is.
Andrew Cohen
Our true nature is free of any and all notions of gender, of any notions of difference whatsoever.
Andrew Cohen
Everybody wants to get enlightened but nobody wants to change.
Andrew Cohen
The executive branch maneuvered this result deftly.
Andrew Cohen
Stillness is training for action.
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
I am already inherently full and complete as I am. Man doesn't need woman and woman doesn't need man in order to experience his or her inherent fullness.
Andrew Cohen
When you come together with your other half, you immediately experience a sense of wholeness and completeness.
Andrew Cohen
The mess of the human condition is that fundamental trust has not yet been realized. The true value of profound spiritual experience lies in the discovery of that fundamental trust.
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 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
There's nothing tantric about my particular view on life.
Andrew Cohen
Its taken 14 billion years for matter to gain the capacity to become conscious of itself. If this is true, it wouldn't make any sense that the whole point of enlightenment would be to escape from the whole process at the very instant that the universe is beginning to awaken to itself.
Andrew Cohen
We have been very conditioned by the cultures that we come from and are usually very identified with the particular gender that we happen to be a member of.
Andrew Cohen
I'm suspicious of any man or woman who approaches their own liberation with any kind of gender bias
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
