In an evolving universe, and in our evolving lives, what is the future of love and relationship?Ken Wilber & Marc Gafni on The Future of Love
In 2009 Marc, Ken and other Integral leaders initiated the Integral Spiritual Experience. The topic of the first event was Unique Self and the second event was the Future of Love. Marc’s intention in initiating this Integral conversation was to turn the Integral Lens towards the twin topics of Love and Self. An accurate understanding of self–the best answer to the question of Who Are You–and a new vision of Love beyond the narrow popular understanding are key contributions to evolving the source code of culture. The following three presentations were part of the Future of Love dialogue series leading up to the second Integral Spiritual Experience. The first two dialogues are between Marc and Ken and the third is a presentation by Marc as part of that series.

Some key teachings by Dr. Marc Gafni on the Evolution of Love:
The creative process that mysteriously moves from nothing to something is the God-impulse.
To live as your Unique Self means to align yourself with that process, with the ecstatic evolutionary impulse that initiated the kosmos, with the ecstasy of God, which re-creates all of reality in every second of existence.
Are you ready to respond to this invitation, to offer yourself to the infinite love intelligence that wants desperately to show up in the world through and as you?
Are you ready to play a larger game?
