Andrew Cohen Quote of the Week - Creative Friction

 

 

 

quote of the week

 

Creative Friction

 

 

When individuals experience spiritual inspiration and awaken to the

evolutionary impulse, one expression of that awakening is a desire to come

together with others who share that same passion. That desire comes from the

authentic self, which is the energy and intelligence that created the Universe

becoming aware of itself at the level of consciousness. The authentic self

thrives on the creative friction of human beings coming together beyond the

personal sphere. Usually when individuals come together, what they share is that

which is personal. But when the authentic self is the guiding force, the ground

of relationship is no longer personal, and it is only on that ground that

conscious evolution occurs.

 

The evolution of consciousness does not occur only through individual

meditation, when consciousness contemplates itself in stillness. Consciousness

also evolves in the creative friction of human relationship, especially when

that engagement is ignited beyond the personal sphere. Just as planets collided

for new elements to be born, the creative process moves forward through

inspired, egoless engagement at the level of consciousness itself. The friction

of that engagement is experienced as ecstasy and heightened attention, and it

spontaneously gives rise to greater and more profound awareness. It is a

ferocious, ecstatic intensity-a force unleashed, because inherent in it is the

overwhelming presence of something that wants to happen.

 

When we create the right environment, by coming together in authenticity

and transparency, new and higher structures will naturally emerge, and a force

will come rushing through that cannot be contained. What's occurring in such a

noble gathering is always far greater than any of the individuals present. The

energy and intelligence that created the Universe is drawing human beings

together for its own purpose. And our personal spiritual aspirations, whether we

know it or not, are simply serving that purpose, which is the perpetual

evolution of consciousness.
