The Big Bang In You

ANDREW COHEN





When you awaken to the spiritual or evolutionary impulse, what begins to emerge is the dawning recognition of the fact that each one of us, at our highest level, is what I call the authentic Self, which is actually the same energy and intelligence that originally inspired the entire creative process.You begin to intuit and feel directly connected to the very impulse that initiated the whole event billions of years ago and is driving it right now.You actually start to feel it working in you, surging through your own mind and body as the mysterious compulsion to evolve at the level of consciousness. When you feel that surge, what you're experiencing is the highest and most subtle and profound expression of that initial explosion, the outer reaches of the Big Bang.
I'm speaking about the development of the interior dimension of the cosmos. The interior dimension is the dimension of consciousness.So when the evolving human experiences this mysterious spiritual compulsion, that is the interior of the cosmos itself trying to develop through you.
It's not a metaphor; it's literally true. The cosmos is not just “out there“, it's “in here“, and there ultimately isn't any difference between the two. So when you experience the spiritual impulse or the authentic self, you're experiencing the Big Bang as a surging compulsion for interior development and growth.
