An Absolute Relationship to Life

by Andrew Cohen

What would it mean to have an absolute relationship to the entire experience of being alive? In this unique teaching, Andrew asks us to consider this challenging yet profoundly freeing possibility. He initiates this inquiry by dividing our experience of life into its three most fundamental and confusing components our relationship to time, our relationship to thought and our relationship to feeling. In our relationship to time, he asks, What if we were no longer waiting to let go and began giving ourselves completely to life.

In our relationship to thought, what would it mean to know beyond any doubt that thought has no inherent significance whatsoever? And finally, what would happen if the presence of any particular feeling no matter how terrible or sublime didn't mean anything at all about who we really are? Only through the one - pointed contemplation of these fundamental aspects of our experience, Andrew states, will it be possible to "create the powerful foundation upon which discriminating wisdom - the wisdom that liberates - becomes manifest."
