usands of individuals and groups around the world, he is dedicated to creating nothing less than a revolution in consciousness and culture.
For years Andrew and Ken have been engaged in an ongoing dialogue about spirituality in today's world. Known as the "Guru and Pandit" series, this unfolding conversation has often been featured in the pages of EnlightenNext magazine (formerly What is Enlightenment?). In August of 2010 Andrew and Ken held a live event at Boulder Integral, where the two spoke for hours about the history of enlightenment, the relationship between enlightenment and evolution, and the future of spiritual life in this corner of this universe.
Here Andrew and Ken share their overall intentions for the discussion. Ken offers a brief history of enlightenment, then goes on to point out some crucial tweaks to the classical conception of enlightenment that could have only been realized in recent years.

While many popular forms of contemporary spirituality offer ways to feel better in the face of overwhelming change - to discover greater equanimity, detachment, or compassion - Andrew Cohen says that change is not something to be avoided, or merely tolerated, but an essential aspect of reality that needs to be consciously embraced.
Change is in fact the spiritual essence of life itself and the source of a new enlightenment.
