You're not supposed to fall in love only once.
Falling in love is the quality of being alive.
The person you fell in love with yesterday isn't the person who's alive today.
Your deepest wound has something to say.
"I take my pathology and I turn it into prophecy." — Dr. Marc Gafni
Live tomorrow, 7 PM CEST: whowemustbecome.com/podcast
Something in your future is calling you.
"Telos means there's a future purpose that calls me in the present to respond to it."

"I can only heal in a profound and fundamental way by recovering a memory of my future." — Dr. Marc Gafni
Going back is necessary. It isn't enough.

Your wound isn't just what happened to you. It's where your capacity to feel was hurt.
Transformed, it becomes the door to your depth, your wonder, your greatness.
Live with Dr. Marc Gafni, tomorrow 7 PM CEST: whowemustbecome.com/podcast
Self-help asks: What can I grab more of?
Transformation asks: Who can I become, and what can I pour into the world?
One leaves you empty. The other makes you alive.
Live with Dr. Marc Gafni, Sun Oct 4, 7 PM CEST: whowemustbecome.com/podcast
You can never look away from the crisis.
But global action paralysis comes from misdiagnosing the root cause. The meta-crisis is a failure of superstructure.
That diagnosis is radically hopeful: there is a way through.
