Evolutionary Enlightenment Course
Adam
I started a new course a few weeks ago on Evolutionary Enlightenment. The class is held at the Window, which is London's center for the EnlightenNext organisation. We've been asked to write a short summary after each class, we're about to go in to the third class on wednesday so i'l post a few blogs on the first two classes to get my blog well under way... So, here goes, class 1:
The first thing that struck me during the class was when Patrick, our course leader, described how the company helping EnlightenNext through its restructuring and branding were so amazed at how quickly this transformation had happened that they would like to use EnlightenNext as a case study to help other companies through the same transition. This helped me to understand how these teachings can actually help in the ‘real world'. Barriers between people are melted and a more cohesive whole is created. With a realisation like this it is very exiting to think of the potential of teachings like this.
My own understanding of the basics of the teachings were definitely deepened during the class. It is an amazing discovery to find within your own self a part of you that is completely equal and the same as each and every other person on the planet (and even beyond!) regardless of surface difference like age, race or religion. Another interesting point that has recently come to light for me and that was further explained in the class was how emotions, thoughts and feelings are actually objects in consciousness, and that they can be seen and observed from this perspective.
I feel as if I should be more vocal when we are discussing, as it is the creation of a field of consciousness between us that is the ultimate goal of the teaching and not simply the individual's enlightenment.

Hi there Adam,
I totally recognize you story above. I have been a participant in the EE course in Octobre last year in Amsterdam. Since then my whole understanding of spirituality and personal transformation has changed dramatically. Let's say that I awakened to the fact that it is all about ACTION instead of all these great mindgames of the past.
You write: I feel as if I should be more vocal when we are discussing, as it is the creation of a field of consciousness between us that is the ultimate goal of the teaching and not simply the individual's enlightenment.
This is so important, because consciousness evolves through relationship.
Andrew says: The whole purpose of evolutionary enlightenment is for human beings to come together beyond ego in order to create an intersubjective structure that can support the evolution of the leading edge of the possible.
In Amsterdam we come together regularly with this purpose (read my blog if you are interested). And it is really happening, but every individual has to participate wholeheartedly. That is the individual's endeavor and so very unpersonal at the same time.
I wish you a very good course and … let's evolve together.
With warm regards,
Irene
