"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Presented as a far-reaching dialogue over twenty chapters, Living Enlightenment echoes an ancient form of spiritual discourse while engaging with some of the most complex questions facing modern seekers. What is enlightenment? And what does this profound attainment have to do with the reality of our human existence? Is it possible to be enlightened and still have a family, be in a sexual relationship, live an ordinary life? What is ego? And ultimately, what is the purpose of enlightenment? This is not a book that can be read from a safe distance. As the dynamic and unpredictable dialogue unfolds, Living Enlightenment offers a rare and intimate portrait of Cohen himself—his wisdom, spontaneity, and unquenchable passion for truth. The reader finds him or herself pulled into the depths of our shared human experience as Cohen deconstructs the mind's objections with precision, insight, and humor, always calling on the heart to embrace the living possibility of liberation here and! now.
Living Enlightenment pulls no punches. Cohen is uncompromising in his challenge to the ego and his call for each of us to rise up to our highest potential. As Wilber puts it, "[Cohen] is not here to offer comfort; he is here to tear you into approximately a thousand pieces...so that Infinity can reassemble you, freedom can replace imprisonment, fullness can outshine fear." And so that ultimately you can be available for a purpose far greater than yourself. For Living Enlightenment is no companion for armchair spirituality, no personal growth or self-improvement handbook, but the real thing for a real world that, as Cohen says, is "in dire need of truly conscious beings—human beings who know who they are and why they are here."
