Revolutionary Codes For The Future of Relationships w/ Marcus & Vylana Marcus

Enjoy this podcast with Dr. Marc Gafni featured on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast

Join Aubrey and Vylana in conversation with Dr. Marc Gafni.

In Aubrey’s voice:

How many relationships do you know that are truly inspiring?

For many people my relationship with my wife Vylana is one of those unions.

But it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows. In this radically vulnerable podcast we disclose for the first time the details of our own crisis of separation, and how we came back stronger than ever with the help of Rebbe Marc Gafni and his blueprints for the future of relationships. How do you overcome jealousy? How do you resolve conflict? Why are so many people choosing between deadness or dishonesty? What is ‘donkey smuggling’ and how does this prevent intimacy in communication? For anyone interested in diving deeper on relationships with Vylana and I, check out our Romantically Fit masterclass offered through Fit For Service.

CosmoErotic Humanism: Unveiling the Blueprint for Humanity’s Next Evolution

ABOUT: 

Welcome to Superhumanize, where we explore the frontiers of human potential and the complex tapestry of consciousness. Today, we have an extraordinary guest—one of the most controversial and transformative thinkers of our time, Dr. Marc Gafni. Marc is not just a philosopher; he’s a revolutionary mind, a master teacher, and a provocateur who challenges us to rethink the very fabric of our reality.

Marc Gafni is known for his groundbreaking ‘source code teachings’ that delve into the profound depths of spirituality, ethics, and human connection. His theories, such as the Unique Self, CosmoErotic Humanism, and the transition from Homo sapiens to Homo amor, are not just philosophical musings; they are calls to action for a global reawakening—a radical shift in how we view ourselves and our collective story.

In this episode, we talk about Marc’s latest work, ‘First Principles & First Values,’ where he collaborates with other visionary thinkers like Ken Wilber and Zak Stein to chart a path through the meta-crisis facing our civilization. This book is a manifesto for the future of humanity, where love, value, and the essence of what it means to be human are redefined in the most fundamental ways.

We’ll explore some of the most pressing questions of our time: How do we confront the root cause of evil, what does it mean to reclaim our collective narrative as a love story? And how do we ensure that emerging technologies serve to enhance, rather than undermine, our journey toward becoming Homo amor?

Marc’s insights are intellectually stimulating and they challenge us to integrate spiritual enlightenment, ethical living, and the art of meaningful relationships into our everyday lives. This is a conversation that promises to push boundaries and invites you into a new way of seeing the world.

Decoding The Kabbalah Tree Of Life: Realize Your Unique Self & Unleash Eros with Andre Duqum

Enjoy this podcast with Dr. Marc Gafni featured on the Know Thyself Podcast with Andre Duqum

Join Andre Duqum in conversation with Dr. Marc Gafni.

In Andre’s voice:

This week we explore the depths of Kabbalah, unique self, and Eros with renowned philosopher Marc Gafni. He begins by defining the foundational concepts of Kabbalah, setting the stage for an exploration of the interplay between masculine and feminine energies that shape our reality. He introduces the profound symbol of the Tree of Life and its relevance to personal mastery. As he describes each piece of the 11 stories in the Tree of Life, the discussion unfolds to encompass the realms of imagination, understanding, and the balance between love and boundaries, highlighting the beauty of contradictions and the coexistence of joy amidst life’s challenges.
He then describes the concept of unique self, an understanding of self that transcends the misconceptions of both Western and Eastern traditions. He describes how you can use this knowledge to unlock your true purpose in the world.
As the episode progresses, we delve into how Eros can serve as a portal to deepening intimacy, and ultimately heal our disconnected world. Whether you’re well-versed in Kabbalah or just starting your spiritual exploration, this episode offers valuable insights to inspire you to embrace your unique self and deepen your relationships.

I’m always left spellbound by the breathtaking honor of connecting with Dr. Marc Gafni.

When he speaks every cell of my body comes alive, my soul feels ignited, I’m able to literally feel Eros in, as and through me. It brought me to tears. ‪@MarcGafni

We spoke of his new book that I invite you to purchase, First Principles and First Values. Not only did we speak of Eros and Pseudo Eros, but a new word, Erosvalue in response to the meta-crisis. And yet what does this mean to your life and intimate relationships? In this inspiring conversation you will discover…

  • The importance of being able to feel the whole of life, not to bypass the hurt or disassociate …but to feel it all, move beyond identity and embrace unique values to experience a never known before possibility.
  • How First Principles and First Values allow us to tell a new Story of Value… And how we need to stay in the field of value to create synergies and end the meta-crisis.
  • How indeed we live in an intimate universe and yet the intimate universe also lives in us, thus intimacy is literally what we need to survive and embody thriving.
  • How we can evolve the story that animates society when we support our evolution reading this book of first principles and first values, a shared grammar… so we are no longer lonely, non intimate, cut off from the interior of each other, isolated in surface existence.
  • How, quoting the book, we can create a new story with a plot line that plays out desire that moves toward intrinsic values where we have will, choice, possibilities and freedom, dealing with the crisis of value, (a birth) and a resolution of a new structure of value.

Metamodern Spirituality | Reconstructing Value (w/ Zak Stein)

Enjoy this podcast with Dr. Zak Stein featured on the Brendon Graham Dempsey Podcast

Join Brendan Graham Dempsey in conversation with Dr. Zak Stein.

Philosopher Zak Stein joins me to discuss the “the great post-postmodern project, the reconstruction of value itself,” and get into the nuances of what his framework looks like as presented in his new co-authored book First Principles & First Values.

What does it mean to say that value is both fundamental and relational?

How does a metaphysics of value avoid premodern pitfalls (e.g., the myth of the given, a God’s-eye view/view from nowhere, etc.)? What are the challenges posed by language when trying to track value across discontinuities in the complexity stack?

Here we compare notes on our respective projects and try to clarify key points.

  • 0:00 Introduction
  • 1:58 Summary Overview of First Principles & First Values
  • 7:35 The Project: A Post-Postmodern Reconstruction of Value
  • 12:44 Is Positing Value as Fundamental a Premodern Move?

  • 39:11 Languaging the Reconstruction: Difficulties and Diversity

  • 52:39 “Intimacy” or “Complexity”? Seeking Normative Terminology without Anthropomorphizing

Zak Stein: “Values, Education, AI and the Metacrisis” | The Great Simplification 122

Enjoy this podcast with Dr. Zak Stein featured on the Great Simplification Podcast with Nate Hagens

Join Nate Hagens in conversation with Dr. Zak Stein.

In Nate’s voice:

On this episode, Nate is joined by philosopher and educator Zak Stein to discuss the current state of education and development for children during a time of converging crises and societal transformation. As the pace of life continues to accelerate – including world-shaking technological developments – our schools struggle to keep pace with changes in cultural expectations. What qualities are we encouraging in a system centered on competition and with no emphasis on creating agency or community participation? How is unfettered technology and artificial intelligence influencing youth – and what should parents, adults, and teachers be doing in response? What could the future of education look like if guided by true teacherly authority with the aim to create well-rounded, stable young humans with a sense of belonging and purpose in their communities?

About Zak Stein: Dr. Zak Stein is a philosopher of education, who is cofounder of the Center for World Philosophy and Religion. He is the Co-founder of Civilization Research Institute and the Consilience Project. He is also the co-founder of Lectica, Inc. He is the author of dozens of published papers and two books, including Education in a Time Between Worlds.

Join Nathan Riley in conversation with Dr. Marc Gafni.

In Nathan’s voice:

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatal

I don’t think I have prepared for any interview as hard as I prepared for this one. My guest today is Marc Gafni, former rabbi, Hebrew mystic, and author of a number of books, most notably “A Return to Eros”, “Your Unique Self”, and his most recent book, “First Principles and First Values: Forty-Two Propositions on Cosmoerotic Humanism, the Meta-Crisis, and the World to Come”. I recommend you take his writing in through small sips versus trying to binge any of them on a weekend. They are potent.

In this conversation, we discuss:

  • The Divine Feminine and how the world’s religions have got it wrong how the comparison of masculine and feminine is fraught with disastrous outcomes
  • Postmodernity and the evolution of love and a new grammar of value through which a shared story of value can be developed in order to solve the world’s problems
  • Shame as the root of all evil and how a new sexual narrative – the sex erotic – is the only “cure” for shame
  • The importance of these principles in addressing the myriad of issues that plague maternity care worldwide
  • Limitations within the work of Jordan Peterson, Yuval Harari, Wilhelm Reich, and even Brené Brown

I don’t know about you, but being a human is pretty cool. All of us almost always take it for granted. It’s so easy getting caught in what’s going on in our our lives that we forget about the bigger picture.
Marc paints this picture. We are at a bit of a crossroad it seems on this planet right now. I don’t believe anyone really knows which way things will go, though I’m 101% confident us humans need to change the way we do things if we want our descendants to enjoy this amazing planet the way we can.
The work Marc and his colleagues are doing provides the tools and stimuli for those of us courageous enough to fight for everlasting love.

DR. MARC GAFNI: Changing the Story of Humanity at a Pivotal Time in History // EP. 246 Video

Enjoy this podcast with Dr. Marc Gafni featured on the The Medicin Podcast with Mimi and Chase Lindquist

About:

In Dr. Gafni and his colleague, Dr. Stein’s language: “We stand at a pivotal moment in history – a time between worlds and a time between stories – poised between dystopia and utopia.” To bridge the gap between our external technologies and internal narratives of identity and purpose, every human and every epoch of humanity must evolve responses to three essential questions, what we refer to as the three great questions of CosmoErotic Humanism: “Who? Where? And What?”

  • Who am I? and Who are we?
  • Where am I? and Where are we?
  • What ought I do? and What ought we do?

In the new book, “First Principles and First Values,” written under the pseudonym David J. Temple, a roadmap for humanity is laid before the reader answering the common question, “What can we do to shift the future of humanity towards higher consciousness and shared common goals?” We discuss the roadmap in this episode.

ABOUT: 

In Dr. Gafni and his colleague, Dr. Stein’s language: “We stand at a pivotal moment in history – a time between worlds and a time between stories – poised between dystopia and utopia.” To bridge the gap between our external technologies and internal narratives of identity and purpose, every human and every epoch of humanity must evolve responses to three essential questions, what we refer to as the three great questions of CosmoErotic Humanism: “Who? Where? And What?”

  • Who am I? and Who are we?
  • Where am I? and Where are we?
  • What ought I do? and What ought we do?

In the new book, “First Principles and First Values,” written under the pseudonym David J. Temple, a roadmap for humanity is laid before the reader answering the common question, “What can we do to shift the future of humanity towards higher consciousness and shared common goals?” We discuss the roadmap in this episode.

Intimate Conversations: A New Story of Value for Humanity with Dr. Marc Gafni Pt. 2 – Allana Pratt

Enjoy Part 2 of this podcast, “A New Story of Value for Humanity with Dr. Marc Gafni” featured on the Intimate Conversations Podcast with Allana Pratt

Join Allana Pratt in conversation with Dr. Marc Gafni.

In Allana’s voice:

I’m always left spellbound by the breathtaking honor of connecting with Dr. Marc Gafni.

When he speaks every cell of my body comes alive, my soul feels ignited, I’m able to literally feel Eros in, as and through me. It brought me to tears. ‪@MarcGafni

We spoke of his new book that I invite you to purchase, First Principles and First Values. Not only did we speak of Eros and Pseudo Eros, but a new word, Erosvalue in response to the meta-crisis. And yet what does this mean to your life and intimate relationships? In this inspiring conversation you will discover…

  • The importance of being able to feel the whole of life, not to bypass the hurt or disassociate …but to feel it all, move beyond identity and embrace unique values to experience a never known before possibility.
  • How First Principles and First Values allow us to tell a new Story of Value… And how we need to stay in the field of value to create synergies and end the meta-crisis.
  • How indeed we live in an intimate universe and yet the intimate universe also lives in us, thus intimacy is literally what we need to survive and embody thriving.
  • How we can evolve the story that animates society when we support our evolution reading this book of first principles and first values, a shared grammar… so we are no longer lonely, non intimate, cut off from the interior of each other, isolated in surface existence.
  • How, quoting the book, we can create a new story with a plot line that plays out desire that moves toward intrinsic values where we have will, choice, possibilities and freedom, dealing with the crisis of value, (a birth) and a resolution of a new structure of value.
