We are a band of Outrageous Lovers around the world, and this is the place to be Outrageous Love!
In all of modernity, nothing makes more sense and feels more true than this passage:
"Feel the insanity of it all. It’s what we need when we talk of mad love. There is a reason why in our community, we look at each other and we say, I love you madly. It’s Outrageous Love, because we’re talking about the path of Krishna and Radha. It’s the liberation of insanity. It’s the holy spark at the center of insanity. "
Our whole lives, we yearn for a place to recover Eros which has been exiled. Insane love is the only sanity. Ordinary Love will not take us home.
David, Krista, Kerstin, we gather every week in community in this ancient and modern path of Outrageous Love! It is the only sanity!
Yes, Jamie! The quality of our community, our Unique Self Symphony, this band of Outrageous Lovers on the path of Krishna and Radha, is impossible to describe, but it fills such a deep yearning, isn't it? I love you all madly!
If this is a model for relationships based on mad love, then what do the "shadows" of this look like? When Krishna obsessed about Freedom and multiple lovers? And Radha smothers him or loses her own agency based on her obsession?
Hi David, the path of mad love must be pure pathos and feeling all the way to completion. Perhaps shadows appear when we get defensive because we are afraid of losing something, or have to be "right" in order win and be loved? For me, noticing when I'm defensive, rather than surrendering to my larger self in the whole, helps me find Outrageous Love.
Love is so multilayered and at least from own experience I feel it's never a constant high, but has a rhythm of falling in and out of love, getting lost and finding back in on another level. Can you speak of ecstasy as a relationship?
In relationship trust would be an important factor. Like with rock-climbing...when I know the securing person has his attention on 2 or more people on several ropes, I just wouldn`'t risk to climb on the edge of my capacity, and would climb in a way so that I can hold myself and not risk to fall into a rope in the hands of someone, who I'm nor sure where he places his attention. Then in this kind of relationship, ecstasy and living on the edge of trust would wane, until it seized alltogether...at least thats how I experienced it.
Curious if we can link that to shadow of the 10 Line qualities and 10 Circle qualities in the book on Lines & Circles by Marc 🤔💖 obsessive need for freedom as line shadow and smothering as circle shadow. I also know the shadow of devotion as not wanting to take responsibility myself. It always seems to be a dance of moving between and spiraling ever deeper. Shadow or not, loving Outrageously always seems more alive and alluring to me then loving ordinary.
I applaud your courage to love all the way in this lifetime! 💖
I think it has many potential shadows, especially since we are humans and not gods. A god may be able to simultaneously be with all his or her lovers, we humans cannot. And then all kinds of obsessive freedom and obsessive communion can emerge from that. It is basically when autonomy and communion are no longer held in a dialectical tension, that shadow emerges. And instead of seeing Krishna and Radha everywhere, the world shrinks and becomes only that one person. And then we either love or hate that person for what it seemingly does to our world...
My favourite quote, “The crisis of the broken heart becomes a driver of new love”. Something I can personally attest to. Thank you Marc for giving this voice.
When Marc through Sally's words expressed Sally's passion, Depth and her True Realizations around Krishna and Radha, Outrageous Love and daring to love people MADLY, my heart once again was blown open. The deep Truth, that feels so familiar and intimate, made me also aware of the poverty, the yearning and the pain around Being Truly Loved or being Able to Love Deeply that is for so many people a life long quest.... Bless each one of you...and find us :)!!
Sally Beloved, I am so honored and blessed that you are in my life and the precious and wondrous moments we shared. Bless you in all realms, in all worlds...
Beloved Marc, thank you for this beautiful and passionate broadcast... that is so at its place a year after that the unimaginable happened....
I love how Radha starts seeing Krishna in everything.
What a great model...
And yes:
"We are not going to save our world through mere analysis, although analysis is necessary. We are going to save our world by being outrageously in love with our world.
We are going to save the environment by being outrageously in love with the rivers, with the trees, with every species.
And ultimately, we are going to save our world by being outrageously in love with each other. We turn the entire world into the Field of Krishna and Radha."
This episode moved me deeply. I have always experienced this sense of radical devotion and having an example in Sally Kempton and Marc Gafni truly inspires me. Also the story of Radha and Krishna is inspiring by itself, but then how it was woven into this new shared global story responding to existential risk is super super hopeful. Now I know my love "participates in the Universe: A Love Story" as Dr. Marc says. Thank you!!
touched to tears... of completion, coming home, never alone again. I can walk through the portals of beauty, kindness, grief, rage...everywhere I find outrageous love and touch into the field and feel the presence of the living companions, known and unknown.
Outrageous love, radical hope, all in for all life, liberation beyond reach ... I feel saner than ever!
Having found you band of outageous lovers is setting me free to speak of love without shame, allows Eros to run unreined, time collapsing, grip of reason easing, rising out of confinement... pure joy, deep trust and mad gratitude
Thank you, Marc, Sally, Radha, Krishna and everybody who walked this path before - so we remember, especially now

Yes that would probably be where Marc goes, if we equate Radha with all circle qualities and Krishna with line qualities. Nice connection!
David, wow, great inquiry!

yes, so deep! Coming out the other side
Its an honor to see you live and breath this dear Jacqueline!
This was such a powerful and tender memorial....

Blessing and Mad Love your way, Chahat
Well said! Love you! 💕
What a wonderful tribute to Sally who was and still is a great inspiration to me!
Her life, her evolution and depth show us in ways mere words, cannot..
She lived and loved Outrageously through all the heartache of the times.
She found her unique way through and paved the way for so many of us!
So lucky are we to see and feel that love resonated in your words and your heart, Marc!
Thank you!!!♥️🙏🏽♥️
sad, I never got to know her in person, and yet, her presence is all over the place in all the people who have been touched by her
Loving you madly!
I love how Radha starts seeing Krishna in everything.
What a great model...

Yes Kerstin! It's so obvious! We save the world by Outrageously loving each other!
