The Evolutionary Enlightenment teachings of Andrew Cohen

The Goal: The Six Principles

When individuals who are living the Five Tenets come together, a higher consciousness begins to manifest spontaneously. Andrew Cohen's Six Principles of Evolutionary Enlightenment describe the qualities of this higher collective, or intersubjective, consciousness, and are the blueprint for a new culture beyond ego.

The Six Principles: Introduction

“These Six Principles describe the goal of this teaching: the higher consciousness that can emerge and the new world that we have the potential to create...”

Purity of Motive & Integrity in Action

“Purity of motive and integrity in action point to the living expression of egoless passion, which is the ever-untainted manifestation of the authentic self. ”

Autonomy & Communion

“In evolutionary enlightenment, the goal is to directly experience the ultimate non-difference between a powerful autonomy and profound communion.”

Evolutionary Tension & Natural Hierarchy

“Evolutionary Tension is the demand from the first cause itself to reach for higher orders of harmony and integration....Natural Hierarchy is a structure of perfect relationship.”

A New Being

“We have the potential to bring into this world a New Being. It is a new organism, a new consciousness made up of independent, autonomous individuals.“
