Andrew Cohen: Being & Becoming

the evolutionary impulse is not about transcendence it's about radical engagement it's not about being free from the process it's about being the leading edge of the process see my point and the future that that sense of the omega point like something that's pulling you exactly in a different direction than the ground of being is pulling you it's in it's the opposite direction and it's a different gravitational pull the ground the being the experience of the ground of being will repeatedly tell us in the most important and very insignificant way that everything's already accomplished already perfect the authentic self will tell us that that there's no time to rest yeah no time it's absolutely urgent now don't you get it yeah wake up right but you see we need both because ultimately for to be balanced in all this we need to be grounded in the ground of being awake to it which means freeing a fundamental way from the process so we'll be in a position to be able to totally engage with it we need both we need both because there are some people that do have an appreciation for evolutionary spirituality but aren't grounded in the enlightenment dimension of the ground the being so there's nobody and versus the people who are very grounded in the ground of being but don't really get the evolutionary dementia even if they talk about evolution they're not really making sense you
