The Intimate Cosmos

You have answered the call to self-evolution-not only for yourself, but for all of humanity. Your evolution at the leading edge of development is a strange attractor, a memory of the future, a minor fluctuation point that can help the entire system leap to a new level of elegant and intimate coherence. In The Intimate Cosmos, Dr. Marc Gafni invites readers into a bold new vision of humanity's future, proposing a shift from the story of Homo sapiens to Homo amor-through the power of evolutionary love. In a world grappling with the meta-crisis, Gafni explores how we can move beyond the alienation and existential risks that threaten our existence. At the core of this transformation is the idea that Reality itself is an ongoing evolution of intimacy-an Intimate Cosmos where everyone and everything yearns for deeper connection and wholeness. Through a series of "oral essays," this book presents the teachings of the 2018 Eros Mystery School, integrating the best of science, psychology, and spiritual wisdom to articulate a new Story of Value. This story unveils a radically different path forward: one where Eros, creativity, and intimacy are the forces that shape our world. Gafni challenges us to reimagine ourselves not as separate beings, but as unique, interconnected expressions of Reality, of the Field of Value itself, each playing a vital role in the cosmic unfolding. With practical exercises, "deep dives," and contemplative practices, The Intimate Cosmos invites you to become a part of this evolutionary leap-a new humanity rooted in love, intimacy, and radical aliveness. You will begin to birth the New Human and the New Humanity in your own body and being. This is an invitation for you personally-and through you personally, for humanity-to take your first steps as Homo amor. These oral essays are based on talks delivered by Marc at the Eros Mystery School, at Meeuwenveen, Havelte, Netherlands, August 2018.
