Intersubjective Nonduality
A Practical Guide in Eight Parts
Beginning 12th October 2019
Dear Friend,
The challenges faced by human beings, as custodians of planet earth, could hardly be more critical. We are confronting what many have called “wicked problems” – problems of such overwhelming complexity that they seem almost insurmountable.
Our highest values as a species, the moral principles that we have worked so hard to build and protect, seem to be eroding. All over the world, political and cultural certainties that we once held to be inviolable are under attack.
Climate change and environmental destruction, economic turbulence, mass migration, and the re-emergence of destructive political forces that we thought we would never see again – this complex interplay of variables is a perfect storm with terrifying implications.
Our situation is deadly serious. Yet at a time when we so urgently need to come together, we seem to be travelling in the opposite direction.
Sensitive and intelligent people everywhere are asking themselves and each other, with growing desperation: what can we do?
In the presence of such wicked problems, when the tried and trusted pathways are falling apart before our very eyes, we need to turn in a new direction. We need to look again, and we need to do so urgently. We need to come together with others in a way that promises real answers.
Many speak of oneness or nonduality. But as a species we have as yet been unable to harness the truth of nonduality and put it to work for us in any practical sense, in the world of time and space.
Oneness, nonduality or unity consciousness is not an abstract or remote concept – it’s a living, breathing reality. When two or more human beings are able to experience the mystery of this discovery in a shared or intersubjective sense, something miraculous happens.
One of the most important contributions that Andrew Cohen’s revolutionary teaching has made to postmodern spiritual culture is the discovery of this completely new, emergent dimension of enlightened unity consciousness – an awakened, transcendent field of shared consciousness beyond ego.
Andrew calls this new dimension Intersubjective Nonduality.
In teachings of enlightenment, the experience of nonduality, found in deep states of meditation, is the discovery that there is only one. In these profound altered states, the illusory boundaries of the separate self dissolve and fall away. Time and space disappear, and there is no longer any distinction between subject and object.
The revelation of nonduality is that the ultimate nature of all things – seen and unseen, known and unknown – is one and not two. From this perspective, there is only unconditional and infinite freedom.
But in traditional teachings, the experience of nonduality – of enlightened awareness – is entirely subjective.
In Evolutionary Enlightenment, we discover that the experience of awakened consciousness can miraculously transcend the boundaries of subjective interiority. Through the developmental group practice of Intersubjective Nonduality we can access the mind of enlightenment itself in relationship with others.
In a group setting, when we learn how to deeply listen beyond all of our fixed ideas, strong opinions and personal beliefs, we discover an already awakened field of enlightened awareness. This intersubjective field seems to have a sentience of its own, within which the experience of both liberated autonomy and profound communion merge miraculously into one state.
Learning how to access this awakened field of shared consciousness is a cornerstone of Evolutionary Enlightenment. The practice of intersubjective nonduality allows us to have direct access to the ascending drive of the Evolutionary Impulse, as it communicates with itself through us, as us.
When any and all obstacles that keep us separate are repeatedly transcended, it’s possible to awaken a rare degree of optimism about what is possible for humanity. Evolutionary Enlightenment is ultimately about creating Manifest Nirvana - a new and uncharted world founded on the principles of egoless transpersonal communication.
In this mind-expanding eight part practical course, Andrew Cohen will show you why it’s absolutely critical at this time in history for awakened men and women to be able to access this new and emergent dimension of enlightened awareness.
Andrew will show you how, through simple but powerful practices, we can all learn to communicate directly from the mind of enlightenment itself. The teaching will cover the following topics:
What is Intersubjective Nonduality?
What are the precise instructions needed to gain access to this new and emergent dimension of consciousness?
What are the implications of this new consciousness for self and culture?
What is the true significance of spiritual friendship in this radical new terrain of enlightenment beyond the individual?
How learning to catalyze this new dimension of enlightened awareness directly reveals the extraordinary leading edge of human potential.
Why living a spiritually-inspired life – giving rise to Manifest Nirvana – is vital for our survival in a world on the brink.

What people say about Andrew Cohen
Andrew Cohen's teachings are brilliant in their simplicity. I have been a spiritual seeker for 25 years, and have experimented with multiple teachings. I find Andrew's approach, temperament and commitment to be not only powerful, but also fully approachable. His dual approach of merging traditional spiritual teachings with evolutionary spirituality cuts through much confusion and distortion. Andrew Cohen is a truly inspiring teacher.
– Rudy
As a scholar, I live in a world where people are passionate about articulating the nature of the dual world. Andrew Cohen is different – he is pioneering the articulation of the non-dual and the inter-penetration of these two realities. There is quite simply no other teacher who can do this right now. In a loud and confusing spiritual marketplace, Andrew is the real thing. His transmission will change your life forever, if you let it.
– Sally
I feel a deep sense of honor and joy having been a part of Andrew's first Evolutionary Enlightenment online course. His stable and enlightened presence allows room for the full discovery of me in a relative sense and also provokes an ongoing and living desire in me for true freedom and liberation.
– Karen
Evolutionary Enlightenment was the recognition of my own deeply felt truth. Awakening to the absolute is one thing – staying awake and becoming a conscious agent of evolution takes something else. Andrew shook me up by detecting a flaw in my thinking that I didn’t realise was there. I had lost my ability to totally surrender. The Universe needs me to want to be here – I can embrace this fully now. Thank you Andrew for unwaveringly following your calling.
– Andrea
Reading Andrew's brilliantly written book "Evolutionary Enlightenment" took me on a wild journey beyond time and space, and helped me to envision an extraordinary collective future. But his physical presence at a recent teaching enabled me to reconcile the relative mortal self with the eternal Self Absolute, as partners in the bliss of infinite creativity. This wonderful, unique and very simple fusion of radical teaching and deep meditation changed my perception about dealing with daily life forever!
– Henk
With Evolutionary Enlightenment, Andrew Cohen continues where other Advaita teachers stop. His unique way is an integration of Being and Becoming. All that sitting on a cushion and tuning in to the silence and the void is beautiful. But there is more. Beyond the silence, we are also the relentless momentum of creation itself. Silence is no longer an end in itself, but a way of tuning in to that which longs to manifest through you. After numerous journeys with so many teachers, deep inside I can sense that this is so true.
– Erica
