Who is American Guru Andrew Cohen? Is he a radical Awakened trailblazer forging a profoundly significant spiritual teaching for our times? Or is Andrew Cohen an inspired, but ultimately immature and “abusive” Guru? What is really going on in the spiritual community and organization EnlightenNext, is it brainwash or breakthrough, transference or transformation? Have former students been badly burned or enormously benefited? Is the Guru-Student relationship obsolete for sophisticated 21st Century post-modern seekers? What is this controversial entity/non-entity called the Ego that needs to be transcended if we are to authentically Awaken? And what the heck is Evolutionary Enlightenment all about anyway?
Our hope is that the articles posted here at Guru Talk will provide you with some compelling answers to these big questions and a whole lot more, opening up new and boundless vistas of inquiry and revelation. If you wish to respond to any of the articles you can find our contact info here.
Enjoy the ride!

“Gentlemen let’s drink” said Andrew, raising his glass. We all uneasily followed suit. There were about 30 of us, all formally committed male students sitting around a large table in a private room in a local bar in Lenox, MA. There was a charged silence in the air as we all sipped quietly. The beer – Andrew had insisted it be alcoholic – went straight to my head. None of us were accustomed to drinking let alone frequenting bars anymore. Andrew was catching us off guard and off balance. Continue reading…
