The ego cannot see God. Why? Because God, or whatever name we want to use for the absolute principle, has no beginning and no end. The very nature of ego is limited—it represents a false boundary around the self-sense. And that illusory sense of limitation can never perceive that which is beginningless and endless. So that is why, in order to know God, we have to transcend the ego. We have to remove all boundaries from the self-sense, through the conscious cultivation of an infinite, unlimited perspective or context for our own human experience. Then we will be able to perceive God, because our own perspective will become one with the limitless nature of that absolute principle itself.

Hi Everyone,

I just spent quite a weekend together with 50 or so other men and women (close spiritual comrades) as we explored with our teacher Andrew Cohen an insight of Andrew's that is beginning to redefine our work together. It has everything to do with a view on Enlightenment that should indeed be measurable for those interested in beginning to try to define with objectivity and serious scrutiny what Enlightenment might look like through the lens of AQAL....

Andrew writes about it here.. so please do check it out...

looking forward to comments... and more later...
