New Interview Series and partnership between Parallax and Unique Self Institute.:
Dr Marc Gafni with Andrew Sweeny
From the description:
“Ten years after the first edition of his Award-Winning Book “Your Unique Self, The Radical Path to Personal Enlightenment”, Dr Marc Gafni gives us his full vision of Unique Self Theory, as a new narrative of identity, within the context of CosmoErotic Humanism, a new movement of thought he has developed with Dr Zak Stein over the past decade. Nothing is more devastating for a human being than the feeling of being disposable. Yet, so many people today feel isolated, insignificant, misrecognised, or invisible. Every human being needs and deserves to know that their life matters irreducibly. The Unique Self Theory proposes a new shared model of Self that integrates key insights of all the great wisdom traditions, East and West, to respond to the eternal inquiries of Who Am I? Who are we? Where are we? And what are we to do? How we respond to these questions determines how we will shape our future on the planet. This series of interviews will give a solid overview of Unique Self is the critical and necessary next step in the Evolution of Consciousness as a response to existential risk.”

Parallax Sangha #11: Digital Nomad Symposium
Why be a nomad? What does it offer? What challenges do nomads face, personally, socially, and politically? Which places are particularly interesting and friendly to the lifestyle? Which are not? And what can organisations and communities do to attract them? The aim is to raise awareness about the lifestyle, both for current and aspiring nomads, and to promote and develop the cultural projects that several of our guests are working on.
