title: The Practice of No Problem: A Deceptively Simple Approach to Profund Meditation
author:  Jeff Carreira 
description: Jeff Carreira originally received an undergraduate degree in physics and spent five years working as a research engineer before realizing that lifes deepest questions could not be answered through science alone. He decided to work in a more humanitarian field and received a masters degree in education and spent seven years working as a special-education teacher and school administrator. He embarked on a life devoted to awakening in 1992 when he met spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen and embraced the perspective of Evolutionary Enlightenment. A series of life-changing experiences led him to become a prominent member of a global spiritual movement where he created educational programs that supported the ongoing spiritual growth of people around the world. Currently he teaches with Patricia Albere co-leading the Evolutionary Collective. In their collaborative work they explore the transformative possibilities of a higher order of human relatedness. Together they support the growth and development of an international community of people who are committed to living on the emerging edge of Spirits unfolding. Jeff is the author of three books, The Miracle of Meditation, Philosophy Is Not a Luxury, and Radical Inclusivity, and is co-author with Patricia Albere of Mutual Awakening.
