New Podcast:

A Shocking Convergence: A Channel Meets the Kabbalist Lineage of Solomon

From the Show Notes of the Aubrey Marcus Podcast Episode:

In all my years podcasting and working with the great masters of our time, I have never seen anything like this. Paul Selig is channeling information from who he calls “The Guides” and Rebbe Gafni is transmitting the deep lineage of Solomon and Kabbalist wisdom. What do they agree about? Where are the points of distinction and separation? In this shocking convergence, we see how the old Word of the Biblical texts meets the new Word freshly informed from extra-dimensional star beings. This is a conversation not to be missed!

Aubrey Marcus and Dr. Marc Gafni | Awaken the Erotic Mystic | Invitation to Eros Mystery School in Holland April 28 – May 2, 2025

Awaken The Erotic Mystic Within!

Eros Mystery School 2025

A 5-Day Radical Immersion into the new Story of CosmoErotic Humanism with Dr. Marc Gafni, Dr. Kristina Kincaid, Aubrey Marcus, and Vylana Marcus

April 28 – May 2, 2025

Dr. Marc 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.

What Does It Mean to Take the Epic Journey to Become an Erotic Mystic?

As an Erotic Mystic…

You are lived as love.

You experience the radical aliveness of Reality coursing through you.

Your desire is lit on fire.

You pulse with the desire for ever deeper contact and ever greater intimate communion.

You are always in a dance with the Beloved, reaching for ever deeper relationships in all of its forms.

You know that the Beloved is not only the romantic partner, but also the friend, also your wider family of soul root partners, with whom you share a common dream and yearn for common destiny.

The Beloved you seek intimate communion with includes yourself, your friends, your romantic partner, your biological family, your evolutionary soul-root family, the Earth, humanity, and ultimately the whole world.

You are committed to changing the world, but you know that it is only through your own transformation that you can truly change the whole. Goodness, Truth, and Beauty seek you out desiring to be your friend.

You feel a depth of connection to yourself, your loved ones, and the Universe itself.

Loving your way to enlightenment is the Royal Road.

We are responding to existential Risk by telling the New Story, the fulfillment of Homo sapiens as Homo amor. This is the story of the emergence of the new human and the new humanity.

At the core of it is a great new cultural Enlightenment that generates a new global collective intelligence of Enlightenment. It is the realization that every person is a Unique Self, a unique expression of the larger Field of LoveIntelligence with a crucial instrument to play in the great self-organizing Unique Self Symphony.

Our mission is to generate the planetary awakening in love through Unique Self Symphonies that is at the core of the political and social revolution of love.

Oral Essays

The Oral Essays, sent out once a week, usually on Fridays, are lightly edited transcripts of live talks given by Dr. Marc Gafni on the weekly broadcast One Mountain, Many Paths, founded by Gafni and his evolutionary partner Barbara Marx Hubbard. Thus, the style of the piece is spoken word and not a formal essay.
