Philosophically and spiritually based community

Editorial by Andrew Cohen

When any one of us awakens in a profound way to a higher state of consciousness, our values inevitably begin to change. We are naturally drawn to others with whom we can share our newly discovered revelation, because in their company we feel we can share the deepest part of our self, our soul, in ways that are ordinarily just not possible. Being together with others in this shared higher context becomes the source of a newfound faith and conviction in the inherent joy and goodness of being alive.

Contrary to my previous culturally conditioned interpretation of the word “community,” I now see our most important philosophically and spiritually based relationships as the only ground upon which conscious or intentional evolution can actually occur. Without being deeply connected with others in a conscious commitment to a shared ideal, there is no way that we will be able to create any kind of future that we are going to want to live in! wie.org constellations
