Class 4 Becoming The Authentic Self

In the teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment experiencing the Authentic Self and knowing what it is is a hugh part of the teaching.

So in this class we were discovering that the Authentic self  as Andrew defines it is the ecstatic creative urge toward consciousness, most people at some point in there life has had the experience of it wether they know it or not. We first brought out how this part of the self feels. Then we looked at how the ego feels, and discussed how these parts of the self are completly different.

Then we looked at how the creative energy that is driving the evolutionary process manifests its-self at different levels from the sexual energy to the intense desire to innovate  and create to the highest expression available at this point in Evolution which is the urge towards consciousness(Authentic self).

The class really responded to this by talking about and exploring their own experience of these two parts of the self, its amazing so see! In EE the 3 step process is going from ego to the ground of being (meditation), then to come back as the Authentic self and start to participate in the creation of a new culture and consciousness. So when we as individuals make the choice to transform ourselves from ego to the Authentic self we are literally consciously co-creating a new stage of human development, one were the limiting boundaries of separation are flung off to reaveal we are life itself, evolving at the highest level on this planet.

We also talked about how Andrew has said for years that synacism is a hugh obstacle for us post modern people if we want to evole or even experience the Authentic self. This was brought out nicely in the class when one participant described thier experience of spaciousness and an ecstatic urge to know more, and yet maybe a day later their synaciscm and doubt took over and they lost  sense of  the exctatic positivity that the Authentic self brings.

So our first goal in EE is to start to transform ourselves from ego to Authentic self and then eventually get to 51% Autthentic Self.

This is where the practice of the 5 tenets come in. Which will be the last class next week.

I think the atmosphere of the class is deepening with every week that goes by. And I get the feeling I don't want to stop! I also really appreciate everybody's participation in the last class, I think that's what makes it a success.
