Homo Amor and Unique Self: A Revolutionary Path Towards a Planetary Awakening In Love Through Unique Self Symphonies | One Mountain Many Paths Oral Essays Volume 22 | Dr. Marc Gafni

Homo amor is the answer to the one of the three great questions of CosmoErotic Humanism, Who Am I? Or, Who are We? The evolution of consciousness, which itself is the evolution of love, is rooted in the ever-deepening response to this great question of human identity.Indeed, Homo amor is the next evolutionary step beyond Homo sapiens. Homo amor is a deeper, truer, and more beautiful answer to the question of Who am I, and Who are We.

Homo amor is the new human and new humanity. Homo amor is the CosmoErotic Universe in person.

In other words, not only is the personal the political, but the personal is the cosmic.
We come to the realization we are each a Unique Self. To be a Unique Self is to know yourself directly as the irreducibly unique expression of the Eros and energy of All-That-Is, that lives in you, as you, and through you, and that never was or will be ever again, other than through you.

Unique Self rejects the prevalent flatland view of modernity in which the self is understood to be but a skin-encapsulated ego, an isolated entity caught in never-ending rivalrous dynamics governed by win/lose metrics that in turn generates the fragile systems that are cause for existential risk. In direct contrast, Unique Self is understood as your irreducibly unique expression of the ErosValue that animates the entire Cosmos, which is intended, recognized, chosen, adored, desired, and needed by All-That-Is.

About the Authors:

Dr. Marc GafniDr. Marc Gafni is a leading public intellectual and teacher impacting the source code of global culture.

Gafni is a visionary thinker, social activist and passionate philosopher. He is known for his “source code teachings”, including Unique Self theory and the Five Selves, the Amorous Cosmos, A Politics of Evolutionary Love, A Return to Eros and Digital Intimacy.

He is author of twenty five books, of which the first ten have been published, including the award-winning Your Unique Self: The Radical Path to Personal Enlightenment.

He holds his doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University, as well as Orthodox rabbinic ordination.

He teaches on the cutting edge of philosophy in the West, helping to evolve a new ‘dharma’ or meta-theory of Integral meaning that is helping to re-shape key pivoting points in global consciousness and culture, with the aim of participating in the articulation of what Dr. Gafni together with Dr. Zak Stein and colleagues are calling CosmoErotic Humanism.

At the core of CosmoErotic Humanism is what Dr. Gafni and Dr. Stein are calling ‘First Principles and First Values’, Anthro-Ontology and a “Universal Grammar of Value”.

This is the ground of a new shared universe story and a new narrative of identity for the new human and the new humanity. This is what they are calling the emergence from Homo sapiens to Homo Amor.

This shared story rooted in First Principles and First Values can then serve as the matrix for a global ethos for a global civilization.

Gafni is considered by many to be a kind of Einstein of Philosophy who is leading a team of thinkers articulating a new vision of meaning for the world.

Dr. Gafni is the Co-Founder together with Ken Wilber and Sally Kempton of the Center for World Philosophy and Religion where he serves as its co-president. Together with Dr. Zak Stein, they are co-leading a team of thinkers, articulating a new vision of meaning for the world.

In 2014 Dr. Gafni co-initiated the Success 3.0 Summit and Rise Up movie, whose method and movement is to bring together key thought leaders and change-agents to collaboratively evolve a bold new Integral vision of Success, rooted in the entrepreneurial values of Wake Up, Grow Up, Show Up, and Outrageous Love.

Over the past 30 years, Dr. Gafni has developed evolutionary and activist programs rooted in his commitment to what he has termed “participating in the evolution of love.” Together with author and social innovator Barbara Marx Hubbard, he is working on a series of new works revolving around Evolutionary Spirituality.
