World Religion as a Context for Our Diversity

World Religion as a Context for Our Diversity is a visionary 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 new 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 deeply rooted in the value structure of Reality itself. Each of us participates directly in this story, as Unique Selves, individual expressions of the divine evolutionary impulse. We are all irreplicable verses in the cosmic scroll, which holds the record of the past and the memory of our future. At the heart of this work lies the realization of Outrageous Love, a force that transcends ordinary romantic love. Outrageous Love is the animating Eros of the evolutionary impulse that drives the Cosmos. Outrageous Love incarnates Eros and Intimacy as the heart of Reality’s Field of Value in which all of the manifest world unfolds. Marc Gafni, Zachary Stein and their colleagues are calling for the emergence of a new human and new humanity, it is time for Homo sapiens to be fulfilled as Homo amor. World Religion as a Context for Our Diversity invites us, in this time between worlds and time between stories, to tell a new Story of Value. It is time to evolve together into a future where ever-deepening Eros, ethos, and intimacy—First Principles and First Values—are the north star for Reality’s evolution.
