"Evolutionary Love" with Dr.Gafni

Dr. Gafni giving a talk on "Evolutionary Love" at the final David d'Angelo program, “Love: The Final Chapter” (Dec 2014), where he was a featured speaker. This was a special men's conference exploring what it means to live an inspired life and be in full integrity with oneself, and with each other – evolving love, relationship, and culture itself.

A New Waking Up Story

 "We live in a world of outrageous pain. The only response to outrageous pain is Outrageous Love." - Dr. Gafni  (Waking Up To A New Love Story) 

God is Hot

"God is hot...  Totally hot!"

~ Marc Gafni

Love Organizes Through Unique Selves

"Unique Self: Love organizes through unique selves finding their unique perspective, which is their unique insight, which is their unique intimacy, that identifies the unique need in their unique circle of intimacy and influence that only they're able to address, and then they go and give that gift and show up as an outrageous lover giving that gift -- and then you've got a bottom-up world in transformation -- with the Unique Self coming at you digitally …"

Becoming Perfect

The work of becoming perfect 

is more perfect 

than being perfect.

God is perfection 

that is always 

in need of

further perfecting

Comfortably Dislocated

You can be uncomfortable and still be "located". 

Or you can be totally comfortable -- and still be dislocated.

On Shadow

. . . S H A D O W . . .

Your story is your light. Your unlived light is shadow. 

You take part of your story -- part of the Unique Self that you're here to live that creates your joy -- and you put it in shadow. 

What have you done? 

You've taken a huge part of your energy and put it in darkness. 

You've lost the core of your life energy.

It's trapped in your unlived life.

~ Dr. Gafni

A Quickening...

A quote we find wonderfully aligned 

with Gafni's Unique Self teachings...

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open ... You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you ... "

As quoted in The Life and Work of Martha Graham (1991) 

by Agnes de Mille, p. 264, ISBN 0-394-55643-7.

On Experiencing Your Goodness Through Pleasure

Wise words from Dr. Gafni:
~~~

"It’s through your pleasure that you experience your goodness and worth, affirmed and held as a good child of the universe. You realize correctly that you must be extraordinarily worthy to merit such profound and extensive gifts of pleasure. You understand in your body, embodied in your toenails, the infinite value and worth of your own intrinsic being, just as it is right now. You feel personally held and addressed by the personal face of essence. You let your consciousness take in and integrate the goodness and kindness of a universe that seeks your pleasure."
