Summary

Dr. Marc Gafni returns to discuss the concept of imagination, as part of a deeper dive into the 12 faces of Eros, inspired by his book 'A Return to Eros' co-authored with Christina Kincaid. The discussion highlights the profound role of imagination in understanding Eros, reality, and consciousness. Gafni emphasizes that reality is an evolving love story driven by Eros, and imagination is a key aspect of experiencing and understanding it. He also touches on the importance of fantasy as a doorway to possible futures, the prophetic nature of imagination, and how the erotic serves as a model for imaginative exploration. The talk includes analogies to spirituality, Sufism, and literature, stressing the transformational potential of imaginative thinking.

0:00.0	Welcome back to today's show.
0:01.9	The podcast has the return of Dr. Mark Gaffney, one of my favorite people, one of my mentors,
0:07.8	an author of several amazing books.
0:10.0	And in this series, we continue on the 12 faces of Eros, all of which are in the book,
0:15.9	A Return to Eros, which he wrote with his partner, Christina Kincaid.

0:28.8	episodes we've done. All of these episodes are meant to be more of a lecture series where Mark
0:34.1	is basically teaching, and I'm the first guy to get to hear it. I'm sitting front
0:38.1	row in the audience effectively. So there's not a lot of back and forth. I really appreciate

1:15.8	It's probably one of the things that I love most about his teaching style.

1:25.0	I'll link to that in the show notes as well.
1:26.5	It is a fantastic one. Merry Christmas, everybody. Happy birthday, David J. Temple. I'll link to that in the show notes as well. It is a fantastic one.
