[Dialogue] I confess

[John Cock]

Thank you, Jim W. "I think" (or "imagine," see below) is the key. Don't
quote me, but it could have happened. Maybe Cohen bumped into such RS-I
expression by someone we know, or got it from the same well we did, like the
one H. R. Niebuhr drew water from. Anyway, Cohen is making more and more
sense, and this book especially. Thanks, Darrell, for sending the quote, and
thank you, Jann M., for plugging the book when it came out last fall.
 
John C.
 
And thanks, Marshall Jones, for your e-mail yesterday. BTW, have you moved
back our way yet?

He had RS-I at age 19, in Paducha, taught by Slicker--I think.

Colleagues,
    Echoes from the past.
 

This quote from Evolutionary Enlightenment--A New Path to Spiritual
Awakening by Andrew Cohen (Select Books New York 2011, p. 205):

 

            The future is not a given.  What's going to happen is not
already known and is not predetermined.  The higher stages of consciousness
and culture that lie in front of us do not yet exist.  This sounds like a
simple point, but it is profound.  Many of us who are spiritually inspired
tend to subscribe to metaphysical worldviews that tell us that the higher
levels and stages of development are already laid out.  But they're not.
The newly emerging potentials in consciousness and culture have not yet
appeared with enough consistency to become self-existing levels, or new
"habits" in the interior fabric of the cosmos.  They only come into being to
the degree that you and I consciously participate together to develop those
higher capacities in ourselves . . .

            This is why the awakening human at the leading edge today bears
such a profound responsibility to be an evolutionary pioneer--to be the one
who is literally living in that place between the present and the future.
