Andrew Cohen

Andrew Cohen

Andrew Cohen

Andrew Cohen
Everybody wants to get enlightened but nobody wants to change.
Andrew Cohen
I'm suspicious of any man or woman who approaches their own liberation with any kind of gender bias
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
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
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
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
