Nourishing Destiny

Does radical transformation break the unwritten rules of our postmodern spiritual culture? In this dialogue between guru and pandit, spiritual teacher and founder of What Is Enlightenment? Andrew Cohen and integral philosopher Ken Wilber take a piercing look at the contemporary spiritual scene and ask us how serious we are about really changing. And, in fact, change itself defines the cutting-edge spirituality that they explored in our last issue where this new WIE feature made its debut. In that issue, these two pioneers explored the unorthodox conclusion that they each had come to: the bold claim that enlightenment is evolving. They discussed how the deep spiritual recognition of nonduality—the union of emptiness and form—takes on a new significance in light of the knowledge that the world of form is itself changing, ever-complexifying, forward-moving, and increasingly conscious.
