In this presentation recorded live in New York City, Cohen sets a bold course, declaring at the outset his intention to impart an experiential sense of what consciousness is and why its unique evolution is so vital for our future. Over the course of the talk that follows, he describes the history of the human predicament beginning with the dawn of creation (we were there; we decided to set this whole event in motion) and traveling across the sea of time (we are literally the product of 13.7 billion years of evolution) to the present day. Having established this deep-time context, and humanity’s place at the leading edge of this tremendous developmental arc, Cohen asks the question: What are we prepared to do about it, individually and collectively? Are we ready to make a dramatic leap forward in order to advance the evolution of consciousness as ourselves, to become full participants not only in our own lives, but in the life of the universe itself? Join Cohen in this penultimate philosophical and spiritual quest to reveal—and to sincerely grapple with—the most important questions of our time.BIOAndrew Cohen, founder of EnlightenNext magazine, is a spiritual teacher and acclaimed author widely recognized as a defining voice in the emerging field of evolutionary spirituality. A life-changing awakening in 1986 brought Cohen to the end of his own search for liberation while simultaneously starting him on an exploration of the meaning and significance of enlightenment for our time. This has led him to a profound investigation of the human predicament and into dialogue with sages, saints, and spiritual luminaries from nearly every tradition and beyond.In 1992, Cohen released the first issue of EnlightenNext (formerly What Is Enlightenment), expanding his own inquiry through the public forum of a magazine and pioneering an innovative form of spiritual journalism reminiscent of classical Socratic dialogue. Over the last decade on the pages of EnlightenNext, Cohen has brought together leading thinkers—mystics and materialists, philosophers and psychologists—to call for a higher and wholly contemporary synthesis of the spiritual truths found in the East and the empirical rigor of the West. Through the magazine and his writings, Cohen is creating a new context for understanding enlightenment as a human evolutionary imperative. Together with a growing network of integral visionaries, including Ken Wilber and Don Beck, he is helping to define a culture of thought that places spiritual transformation at the center of any vision of transforming the world.–Michael Bernard Beckwith In the summer of 2004, EnlightenNext sent its staff to Barcelona, Spain, to cover the Parliament of the World’s Religions. Over the course of the event, EnlightenNext editors hosted “salons,” intimate gatherings where the collective conversation could delved more deeply into the issues at hand. On occasion, the conversation turned autobiographical, as participants spoke about their own search for, and discovery of, a greater truth in life. This interview features Michael Bernard Beckwith, recognized international humanitarian activist and founder and spiritual director of the Agape International Spiritual Center, as he recounts his own awakening to a higher power and purpose. He is joined by Rikke Byars-Beckwith, his wife and director of Agape International Choir.BIOMichael Bernard Beckwith is a world leader and teacher in the New Thought–Ancient Wisdom tradition of spirituality. He is the founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center, cofounder of the Association for Global New Thought, and the Season for Nonviolence, which are extensions of his vision of one human family united on a foundation of peace, based on the spiritual origin of every man, woman, and child.In 1986 Dr. Beckwith founded the Agape International Spiritual Center, a transdenominational community which today counts a membership of 9,000 devoted to the study and practice of New Thought–Ancient Wisdom. Agape’s outreach programs feed the homeless, serve incarcerated individuals and their families, advocate the preservation of the planet’s environmental resources, and globally build and support orphanages whose children have survived the ravages of war and AIDS.Dr. Beckwith’s renown as a harbinger of the world’s quest for peace has drawn into his visionary orbit those whose names are synonymous with this goal. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas K. Gandhi, shares with Dr. Beckwith the national co-directorship of A Season for Nonviolence. SNV promotes and teaches the principles of nonviolence embodied by Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and is endorsed by UNESCO on behalf of its Culture of Peace and Nonviolence Appeal by Nobel Peace laureates. Other notable supporters include Dr. C.T. Vivian, Dr. A.T. Ariyaratne of Sri Lanka, His Holiness the Dalai Lama of Tibet, Coretta Scott King, and Dr. Robert Muller.As cofounder and president of the Association for Global New Thought, Dr. Beckwith stands, along with other co-creative leaders, members, and friends, at the threshold of an evolutionary leap that dares to call an end to human suffering. As its voice, Dr. Beckwith guides activities such as AGNT’s annual Awakened World Conference, bringing together scientists, sociologists, spiritual leaders, economists, and international forecasters—individuals with proven track records in guiding humanity to its highest potential.Dr. Beckwith teaches meditation, scientific prayer, and speaks at conferences and seminars. He is the originator of the Life Visioning Process, a time-tested technique offering its practitioners a method for putting a stop to being a passive tourist in one’s life. He is author of Inspirations of the Heart (currently nominated as a finalist for the Nautilus Book Award), Forty Day Mind Fast Soul Feast, A Manifesto of Peace, and Living from the Overflow.– Swami ShankaranandaA native New Yorker, brilliant student, master chess player, and young university professor, put his life and career on hold to go to India in search of sages, swamis, and the lure of enlightenment. The year was 1970, and some of his fellow travelers were among the first westerners to partake of—and return with—the spiritual riches of the East. In this in-depth interview with EnlightenNext founder Andrew Cohen, Swami Shankarananda recounts his early spiritual experiences, first journey to India, and the transformative encounters he had with some of the most powerful spiritual teachers of the time. Today, Swami Shankarananda is one of the most renowned meditation teachers in Australia, and the proponent of a unique form of spiritual inquiry, called the Shiva Process, his original contribution to the practical application of enlightenment in the world.BIOSwami Shankarananda, Australia’s leading meditation teacher, is the director of the Shiva School of Meditation in Melbourne. He is the author of the best-selling books Happy for No Good Reason and Consciousness is Everything. Swami Shankarananda is recognized as one of the world’s most articulate spokesmen of the “new spirituality.” His Self-inquiry meditation makes it easy for everyone to have an immediate and direct spiritual experience.
