Healing the Global Intimacy Disorder with a New Politics of Intimacy

Becoming Agents of Intimacy

By: Dr. Marc Gafni, Barbara Marx Hubbard

Narrated by: Marc Gafni, Barbara Marx Hubbard, David Cicerchi

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. Evolution is the evolution of intimacy. Evolution is yearning, and that yearning is uniquely alive in us, as us, and through us. Reality itself longs for us.

To heal the intimacy disorder at the core of our global crisis, we must evolve intimacy and activate a Planetary Awakening in Love through Unique Self Symphonies. We need a new politics of love, a politics beyond polarization, where the future is co-created in social synergy. We are not passive observers; we are actively participating in the evolution of love.

This book is a calling to sacred activism, to join genius in Unique Self Symphony, and to become an agent of intimacy in your unique corner of the world. The only response to the outrageous pain of the world is Outrageous Love.
