Evolutionary Nonduality, at least as it is taught by Andrew Cohen, is ultimately about recognizing that we are not separate from the entire process of cosmic evolution. We tend to relate to the idea of evolution as if we are a thing – a separate object – that exists within an evolving process, something like [...]

Evolution and Andrew Cohen
Evolutionary Enlightenment is the spiritual teaching that has been developed by Andrew Cohen over more than two decades. That teaching has grown to include an evolutionary cosmology that very closely resembles that held collectively by the American Pragmatists, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James and John Dewey.
