Andrew Cohen, founder of What Is Enlightenment? magazine, is a spiritual teacher widely recognized as a defining voice in the emerging field of evolutionary spirituality. In this Voices from the Edge presentation recorded live in New York City, Cohen sets a bold course, declaring at the outset his intention to impart an experiential sense of what consciousness is and why its unique evolution is so vital for our future. Over the course of the talk that follows, he describes the history of the human predicament beginning with the dawn of creation (we were there; we decided to set this whole event in motion) and traveling across the sea of time (we are literally the product of 13.7 billion years of evolution) to the present day. Having established this deep-time context, and humanity's place at the leading edge of this tremendous developmental arc, Cohen asks the question: What are we prepared to do about it, individually and collectively? Are we ready to make a dramatic leap forward in order to advance the evolution of consciousness as ourselves, to become full participants not only in our own lives, but in the life of the universe itself? Join Cohen in this penultimate philosophical and spiritual quest to reveal—and to sincerely grapple with—the most important questions of our time.
