Dignity of Desire

Transforming Shame, Victimhood and Distortions of Power: First Notes on Restoring Public Culture and the Integrity of Digital Intimacy (One Mountain Oral Essays, Book 4)

By: Marc Gafni, Barbara Marx Hubbard

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

We live in a world drenched in shame.

Shame is the core belief not that I did something wrong, but that I am wrong. It severs us from the inherent goodness of our desire, our body, our Eros. This split disconnects us from the beauty of our Unique Selves and fuels many of today's personal and cultural pathologies. Wilhelm Reich called it "the murder of Eros"-and it is not metaphorical, but civilizational.

This book is a passionate call to reclaim the dignity of desire and the power of our Unique Selves, to stand against digital abuse, and to evolve from demonizing to symphonizing, from separation to intimacy. To live our Unique Self is to align with the evolutionary impulse of Reality.

Reclaiming desire, power, and Eros is not only personally liberating-it evokes the evolutionary power we need to respond to this moment of crisis and to participate in the evolution of love.
