More quotes by 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
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
If you know only one language, you're a prisoner, stuck in the tyranny of that one language.
Andrew Cohen
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.
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
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
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
A lot of people in spiritual life use the awareness of difference, and the spiritual glorification of difference, as a justification to indulge in that which is ultimately unreal.
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
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
In the new enlightenment, the reason we are driven to become one with the life-process is not merely to experience some form of mystical oneness with everything. We strive to become one with it for the biggest reason there could be - so we can ultimately take responsibility for where it's going.
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
What would it be like to communicate from a part of your own self that is absolutely free from self-consciousness, that is fearless, uncorrupted, and passionately interested in the truth?.
Andrew Cohen
When you meditate you discover over and over again that you are not a prisoner of your mind.
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
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 you come together with your other half, you immediately experience a sense of wholeness and completeness.
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
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.
