Homo amor is the answer to the one of the three great questions of CosmoErotic Humanism, Who Am I? Or, Who are We? The evolution of consciousness, which itself is the evolution of love, is rooted in the ever-deepening response to this great question of human identity. Indeed, Homo amor is the next evolutionary step beyond Homo sapiens. Homo amor is a deeper, truer, and more beautiful answer to the question of Who am I, and Who are We.

We live in a time between worlds and a time between stories. The demand, obligation, and joy of this time is to cross over. This is what we have called The Crossing. At the core of the crossing is the evolutionary journey from Homo sapiens to Homo amor. This is not a fanciful conjecture but an authentic evolutionary potential. The root of the meta-crisis is not a crisis of resources; it is a crisis of imagination. We need to reimagine our identity and in doing so reimagine the future. We address anew the three great questions of life: Where am I, where are we? Who am I, who are we?

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.

In this book, Dr Marc Gafni and Barbara Marx Hubbard present a new story of humanity, a new understanding of our intimate relationship to evolution, as well as our intimacies with ourselves and with our circle of beloveds.

In a time between devolution and evolution, between destruction and creation, the response that is needed is a new story. This book is a sacred call to step into your evolutionary purpose, join with others in synergistic action, and co-create a world infused with Evolutionary Love. This book draws from new story of CosmoErotic humanism in order to ignite a planetary awakening into the new human and new humanity. Through teaching, meditations and prayers, they articulate a vision for humanity's next step.

We live in a time of crisis-"a time between worlds and a time between stories." Only profound evolution-transformation-will tip the scale away from catastrophic devolution. Barbara and Marc, rooted in a profound read of contemporary reality, locate the core of the crisis in a global intimacy disorder. The core crisis is no less than a crisis of intimacy. Our crisis is a birth. To heal the intimacy crisis, all that has been split off-personally and culturally and cosmically-must be welcomed back into the circle.

This book begins with a conversation around public culture. How do we create an evolutionary public space which reflects our desire for a better world? How do we create coherence in a sea of social chaos? How can we move from digital abuse to digital intimacy and transform the internet into an expression of the genuine nervous system of our humanity? This book invites us to explore elements of the necessary digital foundations for an emergent culture of Eros.
