Back again with Marc Gafni to delve into the '12 Faces of Eros,' specifically focusing on the concept of the 'unique self.' Dr. Gaffney explains the intricacies of Eros, which is described as radical aliveness, desiring deeper contact and greater wholeness. The episode addresses how the unique self differs from the separate self and true self, emphasizing its role as an intended, recognized, chosen, and unique expression of reality. The conversation is enriched with philosophical and spiritual discussions, aiming to weave together various streams of wisdom.
