The Seven Principles of Evolutionary Enlightenment
A two hour online teaching
with Andrew Cohen
Sunday 27th October 2019
In the last two teachings, we touched on the miracle of Intersubjective Nonduality, and discussed the different definitions of ego. We’ve discovered how it’s possible to come together beyond ego, and how enlightened awareness can transcend the boundaries of subjective interiority.
In coming together beyond ego, we gain direct access to the ascending drive of the Evolutionary Impulse. We realise that in this new evolutionary context, the ultimate goal of enlightenment is not personal attainment but a collective co-creative emergence.
From an evolutionary perspective, the only reason that we endeavor to live an enlightened life is so that we can become a vehicle for this new emergent consciousness – and specifically for its miraculous potential to give rise to a new culture beyond ego.
When the higher dimensions of intersubjective nonduality begin to manifest spontaneously, the collective intelligence that begins to express itself through us is capable of giving rise to this new cultural potential. Catalyzing such an emergence is the ultimate goal of Evolutionary Enlightenment.
The qualities of this collective intelligence can be simply expressed as seven fundamental principles. They can be thought of as catalysts for emergence, and simultaneously as the defining characteristics of intersubjective consciousness as it takes root and flourishes in the world.
The Seven Principles can be simply broken down in this way:
Purity of Motive & Integrity in Action Autonomy, Communion & Natural Hierarchy Evolutionary Tension & Creative Friction
In his next monthly online teaching, Andrew will give an in-depth introduction to the Seven Principles. We will learn how these principles can create the extraordinary potential for the Evolutionary Impulse to arise spontaneously in and through us – individually and collectively – in such a way that it can literally catalyze emergence.
The teaching will cover the following topics:
A detailed and practical introduction to the Seven Principles How we can learn to integrate these principles into our daily practice How the Seven Principles can help to give rise to a new culture beyond ego Why the Seven Principles are critical to living a spiritually-inspired life

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
