The Center for Integral World Spirituality is a vibrant community of Virtual Presence and Evolutionary Love Gatherings. We share tremendous Holy Purpose in bringing Unique Self teachings into the world. The Eros that unites us is grounded in simple truths of Unique Self teachings with which we all deeply resonate.

Most fundamentally, I fully embrace Marc’s dharma that we are each an irreducibly Unique expression of God, and that at this time on our planet, everyone of us is needed to Answer our Call to bring our Unique Gifts to a world that desperately needs us. The more we awaken to Unique Self, we feel that Call within the very marrow our Being.

That Call is being strongly answered by individuals from around the world. We are intimately connected by that Call in our virtual sangha, and during those amazingly wonderful times when we gather together in at places like Venwoude and Shalom and Esalen, and so many others. In our gatherings, there is a concentration of Evolutionary Love that is clarifying, uplifting, and joyfully life-altering.

Letter from Kristina Kincaid about the Recent Accelerate Event in Chicago with Marc Gafni

Hello Beloved Readers,

kristina_kincaid-100x100I just returned from the Accelerate event in Chicago this past weekend where Marc spoke to over 500 participants. In 90 minutes, like a Maestro, he brilliantly wove together the patterns that connect with great humor and humility, while transmitting, in the way only he can, the deepest and most profound teachings of Evolutionary Unique Self.

Like a match, he ignited a passionate flame in each heart, inspiring cutting-edge entrepreneurs to write outrageous love letters and commit outrageous acts of love in the world. Wow!

Stories were rewritten, poetry was made, tears ensued and Eros burned bright!!

He received an astounding, overwhelming, gratitude-filled five-minute standing ovation!

I stood in that room clapping, tears streaming, realizing I was witnessing love evolving and the very source code turning, manifesting through the form of each individual Unique Self in the room. There is, was, a gorgeous, seamless — but not featureless — whole!

Oh and PS one more thing!!

While standing at the coffee break and riding the elevator, numerous participants were heard saying Dr. Marc’s talk was the total highlight and best presentation of the entire seven day program!!

Deepest Bow to Dr. Marc for his unwavering devotion and tireless commitment for the evolution of love that lives as the God that is every human being!!

Outrageous Love,
Kristina Kincaid

Ego Story or Unique Self Story Reloaded – Ego and Unique Self Distinction #25

by Dr. Marc Gafni from Your Unique Self

Your egoic story can be taken away by the circumstances of life. Your Unique Self story can never be taken away from you.

Ego can be taken away from you. Unique Self can never be taken away from you.

Further discussion:

In his book Your Unique Self Dr. Marc continues with a beautiful, very personal, and deeply touching story, which shall be reserved for its readers. Another example for this would be the story of the great Rebbe of Piaseczno, who has found and lived his Unique Self story in the midst of the greatest destruction, so beautifully told by Dr. Marc in this video series.

For the conclusion of our series on the distinctions between Unique Self and Ego, it remains to be said: It is time to put it all to work in our daily lives, in our personal Unique Self stories.

And in all our striving and yearning that is an essential part of waking up and growing up to our full realization of our Unique Self, let’s never forget that in essence, Unique Self is who we truly are and always have been. So, in a way, we can relax into our own everlasting being and becoming. Uniqueness and Oneness are all around as well as within us–for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. To awaken to our infinitely gorgeous Unique Selves simply means to become conscious of that and to realize it in our own being–and in the world.

To show up as Unique Self means–as Dr. Marc so often reminds us–to incarnate as the Personal Face of Essence, of the Love-Beauty and Love-Intelligence of the Cosmos, to give our Unique gifts, and to respond to an authentic need that we are aware of in our world. It means to “Love Thy Neighbor as Thyself,” to see the neighbor even in the stranger, to become outrageous lovers, and to write outrageous loveletters to the universe.

Join us in our caravan of love!

Come back to these distinctions as often as you like and share with us your path of learning and discovery–here or on one of our FB-pages:

  1. Special or Not Special
  2. Action or Reaction 
  3. Imitation or Originality
  4. Satisfaction and Greed
  5. Enough or More
  6. Ego or Unique Self Story
  7. Joy or Fear
  8. Open Heart or Closed Heart
  9. Eros or Grasping
  10. Authentic Freedom or Pseudofreedom
  11. King or Servant
  12. Victim or Player
  13. Betrayal or Loyalty
  14. Authentic Friendship or Pseudofriendship
  15. Bigger or Smaller
  16. Yes or No
  17. Justice or Injustice
  18. Responsibility or Excuse
  19. Paradox or Splitting
  20. Past or Present
  21. Special Relationship or Open as Love
  22. Love or Fear
  23. Eternity or Death
  24. Pleasure: Delusion or Divine

Let’s finish this series with Rumi:

Come, come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
It doesn’t matter.

Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times.
Come, yet again, come, come.

Unique Self Courses A Success!

haertmeditation_markgafni

Dear friends,

Love is all around, and this newsletter is dedicated to all those wondrous ways that love shows up in the world and in our work at the Center for World Spirituality.

3,000 people take Unique Self Mini-Course: Awakening
We are delighted to announce that 3,000 people have participated in the Unique Self Mini-Course.

The Mini Course is a four week course with fantastic supplemental materials and has been described by many people who participated as life changing. It offers a core shift in your experience of yourself and the way you are able to show up in the world. You can still take this course right now. It is absolutely free – our gift to you and the awakening of Your Unique Self.

Ten-Week Deluxe Unique Self Course in Full Swing:

UniqueSelf_H_FullC_00The ten week Unique Self course has also exceeded even our wildest dreams. Each week of this ten week course people have gathered from all over the world to directly participate together in the Awakening of Unique Self. For those of you who are in the teaching, you know that Unique Self is not about being an isolated individual. Rather, Unique Self is the great connector. Unique Self creates a powerful evolutionary we-space in which every irreducible Unique Self shows up in full splendor and commitment.  Each week the course deepens, and course participants and all involved in the course are consistently reporting genuine experiences of transformative insight, awakening and community. This past week’s theme has been love: Love as a Unique Self perception, Love as the very force that animates the whole cosmos, Love as the strange attractor driving evolution, and Love as the decision to open up in every moment, even in the midst of pain and fear. As Dr. Marc said in a beautiful meditation during the call:

Even though you have habits of closure, right now, in this moment, you can always practice opening to feel; open to feel what you are feeling now, whatever it is, and when you open to it, your heart opens and melts away that which is in the way.

You can still join the course, listen to the previous sessions, participate in the online portal and this awesome community of likeminded people, get feedback from Dr. Marc, and ask your questions in the next Q&A session. To jump in wholeheartedly, sign up here.

Love, particularly outrageous love in response to outrageous pain is the animating ethos and eros of the Center for World Spirituality. Love is not just a word. It is love in action.

Marc Gafni during a recent retreat at Shalom Mountain:

The one thing we all know is true
Every one of us in the room
Is that we live in a world of outrageous pain,
outrageous pain

Beyond imagination

The world’s an outrageously painful place
And the only response to outrageous pain
Is outrageous loving

CWS is an Activist Think-Tank dedicated to formulating and articulating a global ethics for a global civilization. We are committed to evolving the source code of human existence.

Our vehicle is our Activist Think-Tank, which is at this very moment working on a series of landmark projects in the areas of spirituality, conscious capitalism, Unique Self, Eros, gender, and relationships. We believe that these landmark projects, when taken together, will unfold–for the first time in the modern era–a genuine shared narrative of spirit, a genuine framework for a world spirituality or world philosophy.

We live in inescapable frameworks. Therefore, the articulation of a shared global framework of meaning and responsibility, which we all might relate to globally is an urgent need of our time.

Such a framework honors the singularity of every great wisdom tradition, even as it identifies the underlying depth structures and unique contributions of each. When take together, these begin to articulate an authentic “users guide to the universe.”

In deep love and connectedness,

The CWS team
