Born Free Method: The Podcast

Blood-thirsty Goddesses, the Sexual Erotic, and a Shared Story of Value, with Hebrew Mystic Marc Gafni

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

Brace yourself…you are entering the complex mind and heart of Marc Gafni…
