Existential Risk and the Evolution of Love offers a transformative philosophical vision for addressing the crises currently threatening humanity’s survival. At the core of this work is the concept of Existential Risk—a term encompassing the social, environmental, and technological challenges we face today. Marc Gafni proposes a bold response: the creation of a new Story of Value that sparks a Planetary Awakening in Love through the collective power of Unique Self Symphonies.

Reality is not empty or blind. Reality is animated by plot lines. These are the plot lines of evolution. The plot lines of evolution are Reality’s codes of desire. Reality’s desire is for Value. Eros is Value and Value is Eros. There is no split between them. It’s Eros Value. That is the plotline of the CosmoErotic universe.

This volume captures the transformative vision of a new humanity emerging through the evolution of love. Beginning with a memorial to Barbara Marx Hubbard, co-founder with Marc Gafni of Evolutionary Church, it honors her profound teaching that "I am evolution in person" and her pioneering work on conscious evolution. At its heart is a radical proposition: evolution itself is the evolution of intimacy. Marc Gafni and Barbara articulate a new story of Reality as a love story-not ordinary romantic love, but Outrageous Love capable of meeting our global crisis.

We live at a moment of global action paralysis, which is rooted in a global intimacy disorder. We have exiled intimacy to only human relationships and sexuality. But intimacy is the fabric of Reality itself. The exile of intimacy has left us feeling disconnected from each other and from the evolutionary impulse itself. This book is an invitation to reclaim intimacy as a core structure of Reality. We live in an Intimate Universe. The story of evolution is not random—it is driven by Evolutionary Eros. Reality is not a fact; it’s a Story, and it’s going somewhere—it has direction.

In Evolutionary Church we not reclaiming a religion of love. We are for the first time in history claiming love as a religion. We are the One World Church, telling the new Universe Story through a new Gospel. The Gospel of Love.

World Religion as a Context for Our Diversity is a collection of “oral essays” by Dr. Marc Gafni that offers a new “Story of Value” in response to the collapse of a shared global ethos. In many ways, we must reclaim religion as part of this story—not a return to traditional forms of religion but a shared Story of Value as a context for our diversity. At the core of world religion is a universal grammar of value. This grammar of value writes the chapters of a new Story of Value, not as mere conjecture or a constructed narrative, but as a story rooted in the value structure of Reality itself.

Homo amor is the answer to the one of the three great questions of CosmoErotic Humanism, Who Am I? Or, Who are We? The evolution of consciousness, which itself is the evolution of love, is rooted in the ever-deepening response to this great question of human identity. Indeed, Homo amor is the next evolutionary step beyond Homo sapiens. Homo amor is a deeper, truer, and more beautiful answer to the question of Who am I, and Who are We.

We live in a time between worlds and a time between stories. The demand, obligation, and joy of this time is to cross over. This is what we have called The Crossing. At the core of the crossing is the evolutionary journey from Homo sapiens to Homo amor. This is not a fanciful conjecture but an authentic evolutionary potential. The root of the meta-crisis is not a crisis of resources; it is a crisis of imagination. We need to reimagine our identity and in doing so reimagine the future. We address anew the three great questions of life: Where am I, where are we? Who am I, who are we?

We live in a world drenched in shame. Shame is the core belief not that I did something wrong, but that I am wrong. It severs us from the inherent goodness of our desire, our body, our Eros. This split disconnects us from the beauty of our Unique Selves and fuels many of today's personal and cultural pathologies. Wilhelm Reich called it "the murder of Eros"-and it is not metaphorical, but civilizational.

In this book, Dr Marc Gafni and Barbara Marx Hubbard present a new story of humanity, a new understanding of our intimate relationship to evolution, as well as our intimacies with ourselves and with our circle of beloveds.

We live in a time of global crisis. All of the crises are interlinked at their core, expressions of what we have called a global intimacy disorder. The urgent need for coherent action is existential. Every crisis has the potential to be a birth. Crisis is an evolutionary driver. Evolution is not happening to us. Rather, evolution is happening in us. We are called to radically realize and be lived as the transformation.

In a time between devolution and evolution, between destruction and creation, the response that is needed is a new story. This book is a sacred call to step into your evolutionary purpose, join with others in synergistic action, and co-create a world infused with Evolutionary Love. This book draws from new story of CosmoErotic humanism in order to ignite a planetary awakening into the new human and new humanity. Through teaching, meditations and prayers, they articulate a vision for humanity's next step.

We live in a time of crisis-"a time between worlds and a time between stories." Only profound evolution-transformation-will tip the scale away from catastrophic devolution. Barbara and Marc, rooted in a profound read of contemporary reality, locate the core of the crisis in a global intimacy disorder. The core crisis is no less than a crisis of intimacy. Our crisis is a birth. To heal the intimacy crisis, all that has been split off-personally and culturally and cosmically-must be welcomed back into the circle.

This book begins with a conversation around public culture. How do we create an evolutionary public space which reflects our desire for a better world? How do we create coherence in a sea of social chaos? How can we move from digital abuse to digital intimacy and transform the internet into an expression of the genuine nervous system of our humanity? This book invites us to explore elements of the necessary digital foundations for an emergent culture of Eros.
