We’re in a time between worlds and a time between stories. We are in a postmodern era characterized by the deconstruction of intrinsic value and the deconstruction of the Story of Value. But story is not merely a human construct that is useful for cohering society (as the postmodern zeitgeist suggests). Story is an ontology of Cosmos. Story is a First Principle and First Value of Cosmos. The deepest readings of interior and exterior sciences now demonstrate that Reality is a Story.

Sex is not negative or positive. Sex is not just neutral, nor is it merely sacred because it creates babies. None of these old sexual stories work for us anymore. We need a new sexual narrative. This book gives the new sexual narrative, what the authors call "sex erotic". A Return to Eros: On Sex, Love, and Eroticism in Every Dimension of Life, from Drs. Marc Gafni and Kristina Kincaid, reveals the radical secret tenets of relationship between the sexual, the erotic, and the holy.

Imagine walking into your place of worship - your local church, synagogue, mosque, or meditation center - to find that all of the usual adornments have been replaced with statues and pictures of sexually intertwined cherubs. Chances are, you'd be quickly taken aback. But according to Mark Gafni, bestselling author of "Your Unique Self" and "Soul Prints", these were the precise images found atop the ark of the ancient Temple of Jerusalem.

A revolution in relationships is taking place across the western world. It is happening in different ways for all people in all classes of society, and it is breathing life into a new vision of relationship and self. The product of this revolution—a third, higher level of connection called the "whole mate relationship"—promises to have a far more powerful effect on the quality, joy, and potency of our lives than any other single shift in culture since the sexual revolution of the 1960s.

First Principles and First Values is the tip of the spear in the fight for a humane future. Establishing frameworks for a new school of thought called CosmoErotic Humanism, the book is built around forty-two propositions that provide new source code for the future of planetary culture.

This audiobook brings the Eastern and Western understandings about enlightenment together into a higher Integral World Spirituality embrace. Enlightenment is based on your commitment to transcend your separate self into the one, even as you realize that that essence sees through your unique perspective.

This audiobook is a call to reclaim value as real—because the future of the world depends on it. We live in a time between worlds and a time between stories, as the very existence of humanity is threatened by a meta-crisis. The meta-crisis is a series of interlocking social, political, educational, climate and technological crises, that we can all see and feel in our lives.

Story is the source code of culture and consciousness and of all Reality-all the way up and down the evolutionary chain. Story is the attempt to gather information about the nature of Reality and translate it into narrative frameworks bounded by Value. Stories that organize culture are Stories of Value backed by the Universe. Postmodernity argues that Reality is just a story, and that all stories are created equal (equally meaningless of inherent value) because value itself is not real. And therefore, all stories of value are but social constructs, fictions, figments of our imagination.

In this time between worlds and time between stories, we cross over together. In response to the meta-crisis and the potential death of humanity or the death of our humanity, we must cross over from Homo sapiens to Homo amor. This audiobook is compiled from lightly edited transcriptions from The Crossing, an event originally initiated and taught by Dr. Gafni, and organized and facilitated by James Bampfield. The Crossing took place in Holland in 2024. The larger context for the Crossing was a series of more than thirty Wisdom School and Mystery School events led by Dr.

In this critical time between worlds, technology is shaping the future of our lives, both as individual human beings and collectively as a species. Technology has brought great blessings in multiple vectors, and those benefits are regularly sung in the public sphere. However, the notion that technology is value-neutral is simply not true. All technology is encoded with value, pseudo-value—or tragically, with anti-value. So technology also threatens us with risks to our very existence on this planet.

In this time between worlds and time between stories, we stand poised between a potential dystopia and an unimaginably beautiful future. Only a new Story of Value as a context for our diversity can change the vector of history towards a possible utopia. Movies are often the channel through which the voice of culture discloses itself. Hidden in the public texts of culture is a movement towards a new human and a new humanity. Understanding the hidden text of She—woven into the fabric of our public stories—is a key part of this new Story of Value.

This book is about a Planetary Awakening in Love—the emergence from Homo sapiens to Homo amor, the new human and the new humanity. As humans we are here to articulate and enact a new story for a new humanity, to participate in the evolution of love itself. With practice we can learn to place our attention on the evolutionary impulse that is alive and awake in us, as us, and through us—which calls us to become Evolutionary Lovers.

We Are God's Unique Intimacy is a clarion call to revolutionary transformation. At the heart of these teachings lies a radical insight: You are a Unique Self-an irreducibly unique expression of the LoveIntelligence and LoveBeauty that is the animating and initiating Eros and energy of All-That-Is. You are the personal face of the universal, uniquely incarnate as you. Allurement is a core structure of Cosmos. Therefore, when we align with the core truth of Cosmos, when we awaken to our Unique Self, we are allured to come together to form a Unique Self Symphony.

This volume captures the transformative vision of a new humanity emerging through the evolution of love. Beginning with a memorial to Barbara Marx Hubbard, co-founder with Marc Gafni of Evolutionary Church, it honors her profound teaching that "I am evolution in person" and her pioneering work on conscious evolution. At its heart is a radical proposition: evolution itself is the evolution of intimacy. Marc Gafni and Barbara articulate a new story of Reality as a love story-not ordinary romantic love, but Outrageous Love capable of meeting our global crisis.

In Evolutionary Church we not reclaiming a religion of love. We are for the first time in history claiming love as a religion. We are the One World Church, telling the new Universe Story through a new Gospel. The Gospel of Love.

This audiobook explores the dangers of a broken sensemaking and information ecology in a time between worlds and time between stories. We are faced with two bad alternatives: to blindly dismiss all conspiracy theories or to blindly buy into all their claims. Both are wrong choices.

We live in a world drenched in shame. Shame is the core belief not that I did something wrong, but that I am wrong. It severs us from the inherent goodness of our desire, our body, our Eros. This split disconnects us from the beauty of our Unique Selves and fuels many of today's personal and cultural pathologies. Wilhelm Reich called it "the murder of Eros"-and it is not metaphorical, but civilizational.

Dr. Marc Gafni introduces a range of soul-healing prescriptions, inspirational teachings, and practical tools to help you overcome loneliness, identify and embrace their true selves, find fulfillment, and achieve richer, happier, more satisfying lives.

Reality is not empty or blind. Reality is animated by plot lines. These are the plot lines of evolution. The plot lines of evolution are Reality’s codes of desire. Reality’s desire is for Value. Eros is Value and Value is Eros. There is no split between them. It’s Eros Value. That is the plotline of the CosmoErotic universe.

In this book, Dr Marc Gafni and Barbara Marx Hubbard present a new story of humanity, a new understanding of our intimate relationship to evolution, as well as our intimacies with ourselves and with our circle of beloveds.
