Cohen’s message is simple, yet profound: Life is evolution, and enlightenment is about waking up to this fundamentally creative impulse as your own deepest, most authentic self. In Evolutionary Enlightenment, Andrew Cohen redefines spiritual awakening for our contemporary world—a world characterized by exponential change and an ever-expanding appreciation for the processes of evolution. Through five tenets for living an enlightened life, Cohen empowers you to wholeheartedly participate in the process of change, shaping your spiritual practice. Evolutionary Enlightenment not only makes deep sense of life today; it shows you how to play an active role in shaping the world of tomorrow. The universe, born 14 billion years ago, slowly evolved into matter, then life, then consciousness and culture, and finally you—a human being with the power to self-reflect and the freedom to choose. Are you ready to discover the timeless freedom of spiritual awakening, the vastness of this evolving cosmos, and most importantly, the enormous responsibility that each one of us holds for its future . . .
