Two down - three to go!

Posted on Sep 20th, 2006 by Katherine : Pressure Cook-er Katherine
Class 2 of the Evolutionary Enlightenment course, Context is Everything, took us all out further on that edge of understanding, knowing and not knowing, flying and falling, than we expected. Afterwards, I discovered a couple of people from the class walking around wondering what had hit them and they weren't so sure of who they were anymore... It was a powerful message  to Wake Up! and realize our place in the Universe, to deeply consider our role in the evolution of the Universe itself, something Andrew Cohen calls "the Universe project". Just stretching our minds and bodies and souls to embrace, as fully as possible, the biggest context, from the biggest possible perspective, puts us there, teetering on that edge, scarily overwhelmed and compelled by that very impulse to evolve. The continually amazing thing to me is that you can get to a really deep, full understanding of these big questions - who am I really? what am I supposed to be doing here?, simply through taking your own experience so seriously and going so deeply into it, that you start to unravel them from what seems like the inside out, until you realize there is no inner and outer, what's inside is outside and visa versa! We are the Universe itself....

The class the other night was amazing!  I keep thinking to pinch myself with so much positivity and the chance to be able to go through the teachings like this with others … the way the class is structured and the well of experience you give, it all opens things up in a completely new way to learn and give oneself to the teachings from wherever we are.  From each class, in every moment, this pure potential is taking over like waves of greater awareness - absorbing us and we absorbing the awareness and forming a new way to BE!  It was so simple, but I really appreciated the way you spoke in the beginning of the class, that the first class is about the beginning stage of Andrew's teaching and that the whole of the material is literally countless hours of dialogue and experience over the 20 year span Andrew has been teaching the collective of hundreds, if not thousands of others … and here we are in this period of time, reaping the benefits of all of that, so that we too can keep growing and moving all of this forward.  It is beyond exciting!  Thank you!
Love, Sandra

The night was certainly a knock out blow for any small minded approach to LIFE.
How to respond to an ever deepening world crises brought on by our flagrant lack of care for the whole?
First ) to see why there was such a lack of care / which the diagrams showed so clearly the many personal contexts of conditioning.
Taking in at a very gut level how we are very minute parts of a vast impersonal evolutionary process and the forces at play in that process. Wanting to know who we are now / teetering on the edge of where the process has come so far and  simultaneously awakening to our responsibility  to choose to change,leaving the old behind , exploding old separate thought patterns and trusting in a wisdom  written in our hearts (like Whitman) for deeper  and deeper meaning, greater and greater aliveness, more and more clarity , perspective and action in service to an almost unbearable fire of love that started us on this trajectory Together 14 billion years ago.Thank you so much for giving us the benefit of your experience over the years with Andrew.  Love Ruth.
