Dr. Marc Gafni is a visionary thinker, social activist, and passionate philosopher. He is known for his “source code teachings,” including Unique Self theory, the Five Selves, the Amorous Cosmos, A Politics of Evolutionary Love, A Return to Eros and Digital Intimacy. He is author of over twenty-five books, including the award-winning Your Unique Self: The Radical Path to Personal Enlightenment. He holds a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University, as well as Orthodox rabbinic ordination.
He teaches on the cutting edge of philosophy and spirit in the West, with the aim of participating in the articulation of what Dr. Gafni together with Dr. Zak Stein and colleagues are calling CosmoErotic Humanism. At the core of CosmoErotic Humanism is what Dr. Gafni and Dr. Stein are calling ‘First Principles and First Values,’ Anthro-Ontology and a “Universal Grammar of Value.” This shared story rooted in First Principles and First Values can then serve as the matrix for a global ethos for a global civilization.Dr. Gafni is the Co-Founder and Co-President of the Office for the Future, the Center for World Religion and Philosophy and the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. At the core of their shared missions is the articulation and delivery into culture of a Great Library - in multiple forms - which participates in evolving the source code of consciousness and culture in response to the Meta Crisis.

October 27, 2023 Deep Future #5: Ghosts, Cracks and the Art of Living (with Nora Bateson and Susanne Cook-Greuter)
In many ways, our understanding of and our relationship to our future forms and shapes us. Yet there is a subtle feeling that this
relationship with the future itself is currently changing. We are
collectively confronted with a lot of problems that are already here or are approaching us fast from a horizon before us, And yet we know that we can´t solve these problems with the current mindset. We don´t even know if our collective framing of that horizon and the events that we are anticipating, is the best one. Nora Bateson is an award-winning filmmaker, writer and educator, as well as President of the International Bateson Institute, based in Sweden. Her work asks the
question “How we can improve our perception of the complexity we live within, so we may improve our interaction with the world?” She just publishes her wonderful new book 'Combining', which is an embodiment of her recent work on Warm Data and offers a radical ecological approach to many of the key issues of our time: climate change, political upheaval, education, health, food and relationships. Susanne Cook-Greuter is internationally known as the leading expert in mature ego development and self-actualization. She does ongoing research and development and is outher of the book "Postautonomous Ego Development: A Study of Its Nature and Measurement"
