Evolutionary Enlightenment 101
Part I: 51% — The Magic Number
Do you know what the magic number is in spiritual physics?
The Authentic Self is the evolutionary impulse. The Authentic Self is Eros, which we experience at the highest level of our being as the urge to innovate and create that which is new. The Authentic Self is the spiritual impulse, the mysteriously felt urge to evolve at the level of consciousness itself. It’s experienced as a compulsion to become more conscious, more awake—more in touch with life at the deepest level. And it’s the drive toward the new enlightenment—what I call Evolutionary Enlightenment.
It’s the drive to become one with the life-process
This potential becomes even more powerful and significant when the profound awakening of and to the evolutionary process happens in and through several people at the very same time.
It’s the evolution of self, culture, and cosmos through the individual.
Now we can change the world from the inside out.
When we awaken to the Authentic Self and cross that 51% threshold, we no longer have any choice. In fact, we realize, from now on, that that’s the only reason we’re alive.
Consciousness is the timeless, formless ground of everything that is. It is beginningless and endless
The highest realization, therefore, was that being in the world was not ultimately different than transcending it. In this new understanding, to transcend the world meant one had seen through the veil of appearances, the most fundamental of which was the appearance of duality
In the electric ecstasy and tactile immersion of erotic love, the mind can become transparent, and through that transparency the formless nature of Spirit’s true face can powerfully shine
every one of us as individuals, is part of a creative process. And it’s a dynamic process that is going somewhere, that is evolving.
