	The Evolutionary Enlightenment teachings of Andrew Cohen Quote of the Week Weekly quotes from the teachings of Andrew Cohen The Eternal Declaration Traditionally the bodhisattva says, “I vow to liberate all sentient beings before myself. And I won't accept my own enlightenment before all other sentient beings are liberated.” Liberated, in this sense, means you're not going to have to come back to the world of form; you'll be free forever. But the bodhisattva is a bodhisattva because they're willing to stick around in the world of form for eternity. So that makes them heroes. If the deep-time, evolutionary trajectory is towards consciousness, then the manifestation of that impulse in the awakening human is to help or facilitate the development or evolution of consciousness in the world—in the stream of time. But I've noticed that that impulse is an impersonal function of consciousness itself. It has no interest in or attachment to the fruits of its labors. Its interest is always in what has not yet emerged—in other words, in the unmanifest potential of the next moment. And when that unmanifest potential becomes manifest, the focus of attention automatically moves to the next unmanifest potential, and then to the next, ad infinitum, for eternity. So we could say it's a ceaseless, ecstatic, impersonal compulsion to bring the unmanifest into manifestation for eternity. So the postmodern bodhisattva vow would be: “I wholeheartedly commit myself to the evolutionary process and I will not cease to give myself to this process until all the matter in the universe has become enlightened. I vow to return again and again and again.” It's an eternal declaration through which one in a sense becomes God (or the creative principle) in action by vowing to shoulder the burden of evolution itself. And one is doing that consciously; one commits one's soul for eternity. For us mere mortals, a 14-billion year context seems like a very long time. I mean, we can't even imagine how long that is. But from the perspective of the first cause or the creative principle, from God's perspective, it's not very long at all—as a matter of fact, we're just getting started! For the human mind, this is inconceivable, but for that dynamic, creative, evolutionary God impulse, that's all it's interested in. And it's absolutely impersonal; it's a blind, impersonal passion towards consciousness. So when we begin to consider the implications of the postmodern bodhisattva vow for real, when we begin to consider what it is that we are saying yes to, it's easy to understand how we could become frightened—intimidated by facing directly into what it would mean to say yes to the universe, to life . . . forever. The truth is, we've been here from the beginning. That urge to become, to create the universe, is a choice that we made 14 billion years ago. Once again: we were all there. Of course, we've lost touch with this fact but as we begin to awaken to what I call the Authentic Self, which is that evolutionary impulse becoming conscious of itself, we begin to directly experience that ecstatic compulsion to evolve as consciousness and, by doing so, transform the world. And once you say yes, then there's no end to it. One has said yes to this process till the end of time.
