Greg, even though Andrew Cohen has been talked about elsewhere, I thank you for bringing his name to the forefront here.
We learned about Andrew Cohen -- from another thread on this forum -- when we were first unlayering our cult entanglements a few years ago (Gentle Wind Project), and it was very helpful to read those two books you mentioned ("The Enlightenment Blues" is one of them). Sometimes it's easier to face the reality of one's own cult involvement when reading about a different group and noting the incredible similarities.
Recently we were at a talk where the speaker referred to Andrew Cohen's magazine, "What is Enlightenment." We were relieved that the critique was negative, yet we were surprised that the speaker -- a well known philosopher -- had just discovered that magazine. Nevertheless, he opened quite a few eyes among his audience that night -- people that might have missed the opportunity to find out about Andrew Cohen.
Good wishes,
Judy
