Hello Ram and All Thanks Ram for sending Andrew Cohan's quote on Infinite Potential at this forum. I have found his quote very deep and profound. This month's LRIG theme, Ever -Present Awareness and Andrew Cohan's quote goes hand in hand. "Nothing is the source of everything that is. That which became everything is that nonmaterial spiritual essence". This ever-present Awareness in everyone of us is, in every living being and in the whole universe which makes me think more that each one of us are so much connected with each other and there is a presence of unity consciousness. Andrew Cohan says again "And what we're very interested in, in the teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment, is locating that same vibration within our very own self-the same energy, the same intelligence that initiated the entire creative process at the very beginning". Wow, what a way to convey the message! I see this clearly Ram as you have also mentioned in your message that when we are open to the unknown where all the possibilities lie, going beyond one's own mind's fixed limitations, that is where the infinite potential lies. So the key is, as I understand, we don't have to have always fixed ideas about every thing in life. Staying open and let the universe takes us where IT wants to and align with it. Then we stay in a state of amusement and enjoying the beautiful possibilities coming in our way all the time. Thanks for bringing this dialogue and would be nice to hear from others. Love to you all.

Hi All,

Seems things are being orchestrated and presented in their own amazing ways. Here is a pretty powerful quote from Andrew Cohen regarding the Infinite Potential.

I am amazed by the timing and synchronsity of this quote as we are already dialoguing a similar theme 'Ever- present Awareness'. You may note that one of the pointers is that when we are not attached to our own limits of our potential by having fixed ideas of what the future should look like, we begin to see that what lies ahead is the infinite potential. You may like to dwell on the powerful authenticity of this quote and see what transpires. Here is the quote :

"It's very important to understand that everything that exists—the whole universe, including each and every one of us, is a manifest or material expression of that which does not exist. From nothing came something. The unmanifest became the manifest. From emptiness, from the void, this whole material universe, which eventually gave rise to life, emerged. So everything that exists came from nothing. Nothing is the source of everything that is. That which became everything is that nonmaterial spiritual essence. That's what you can experience in a deep state of meditation. The fundamental mystical insight throughout the ages is basically this: that the ultimate essence of everything that exists is this no-thing-ness. But when seen from this evolutionary perspective, what you become aware of is that the nothingness is not nothing. Why? Because in the absolute emptiness prior to the big bang there was still the infinite potential for everything that would be created. Everything was possible but nothing had happened yet. So even in complete emptiness, there is some kind of positive creative tension that is experienced in meditation as a suspended state of absolute awakeness. This quiet tension exists in consciousness because everything is possible but nothing has yet occurred. There is a vibration of empty fullness that is enthralling. And what we're very interested in, in the teaching of Evolutionary Enlightenment, is locating that same vibration within our very own self—the same energy, the same intelligence that initiated the entire creative process at the very beginning."
