Autobiography of an Awakening

by Andrew Cohen

Autobiography of an Awakening is a portrayal of Andrew Cohen's uncompromising search for liberation, his profound awakening, and finally his painful struggle to come to terms with the discrepancy between his teacher's realization and his own. As he attempts to make sense of the confusing conduct of his teacher, Andrew is forced to question again and again the real meaning and significance of the enlightened condition. The result is a disarmingly personal story, and a fascinating investigation into the causes of the corruption so prevalent in the spiritual world today. Autobiography of an Awakening is a powerful work that reveals both the explosive implications of what it means to aspire to spiritual liberation and the extraordinary dedication that it takes for any human being to stand alone in the truth.
