“The Guru and the Pandit" is a central pillar of every issue of What is Enlightenment? magazine. Featuring WIE founder and pioneering teacher of Evolutionary Enlightenment Andrew Cohen and integral philosopher and founder of Integral Institute Ken Wilber, these dialogues explore the contours of the Kosmos, from the broad strokes of evolution's arc to the subtlest strands of human spiritual experience. Together, they seek—and find—new and creative avenues of engagement with the manifest structures of consciousness itself—and then proceed to move them forward.

Appearing in front of members of Wilber's Integral Institute, Ken and Andrew speak about the multidimensional aspects of the spiritual quest and field a broad range of questions from the audience. Such fundamental questions as What is the role of meditation?, What is ego?, and Is being mindful enough to create real transformation? are answered. More practicum than theory, these dialogues begin to convey the new and evolving vision of spiritual life these two luminaries are creating and represent a bold departure from the East-meets-West fusion that has dominated the alternative spiritual movement for the last thirty years.
