Iain McGilchrist, Marc Gafni & Zak Stein | The Return of Value and the Sacred | Part 2Zak Stein moderates an intense and wide-ranging conversation between Dr. Iain McGilchrist and Dr. Marc Gafni. The dialogue spans the sacred nature of story, the loss of value and eros, the nature of evil, and the deep structures shaping culture today. In Part 2, the conversation turns explicitly toward the question of value itself — whether the sacred is intrinsic to reality or merely projected, and what is at stake in that distinction.Iain McGilchrist is a British psychiatrist, literary scholar, and one of the most important philosophical voices of our time. He is best known for *The Master and His Emissary* and *The Matter With Things*, where he argues that the left and right hemispheres of the brain attend to the world in fundamentally different ways, with massive consequences for civilization. His work bridges neuroscience, philosophy, art, and depth psychology, offering a vision of human consciousness grounded in attention, embodiment, and reverence.Dr. Marc Gafni is a visionary philosopher, spiritual teacher, and social theorist. A former Orthodox rabbi with a doctorate from Oxford University, he is the co-founder of the Center for World Philosophy and Religion and a leading voice in the articulation of “cosmo-erotic humanism.” His books include *Your Unique Self*, *A Return to Eros*, and *Radical Kabbalah*. Gafni’s work fuses Jewish mysticism, integral theory, and Western philosophy to explore the nature of self, eros, and value at the evolutionary edge of human identity and spirituality.Zak Stein is a Harvard-trained education and transformation philosopher known for his work on developmental ethics, meta-crisis, and the future of human learning.#IainMcGilchrist #MarcGafni #ZakStein #Eros #Story #MeaningCrisis #IntegralPhilosophy #TheMasterAndHisEmissary #CosmoEroticHumanism

DescriptionIn this talk, Dr. Marc Gafni introduces a central framework of his teaching: pre-tragic, tragic, and post-tragic as recurring stations of human experience. These are not developmental stages or psychological categories, but existential positions we move through repeatedly in love, desire, power, intimacy, creativity, meaning, and our relationship to God.Pre-tragic clarity gives way to rupture. Desire becomes complicated. Power distorts. Intimacy fractures. The question is not how to avoid this passage, but how to understand it—and how a different kind of clarity can emerge on the other side. Post-tragic clarity is not a return to innocence, but a second clarity that includes uncertainty, depth, and lived complexity.This video serves as an orientation to a three-week course that explores these stations in depth, with particular attention to wounding and how unintegrated wound shapes desire, power, and intimacy.InvitationThe course includes three weekly recorded lectures with Q&A and three weekly Digital Campfire sessions, where practices and inquiries are introduced and the material is reflected on in community.Start date: Sunday, January 25Time: 8:00pm CET · 2:00pm EST · 11:00am PSTPrice: €300 / €150 tiersFurther details and registration can be found via the link below.https://www.parallax-media.com/courses/pretragic-tragic-and-posttragic

With Tom Amarquewww.parallax-media.comThis talk is ostensibly about the culture war that is, to agreater or lesser extent, occupying all our minds right now. But I don’t wantto get lost in the political trenches. Instead, I’d like to shift thehorizontal axis to a vertical one and see what lies underneath.We can’t talk about the culture war without talking aboutfeminism, and we can’t talk about feminism without Carl Jung. Perhaps, intalking about the latter, we can shed some light on the former—or at leastbring in a parallax view. That may sound like a daring endeavor, but let’s gofor it and try to weave politics, psychology, and what we might call deepsociology together.

The question I want to pursue with this piece is: “How do we relate to the future?”Tom Amarque is writer, philosopher, podcast host, editor & publisher. His recent book is ‘Phenomenology of will’, which will also be subject to a online couse in November 2025. He founded the German publishing house Phaenomen-Verlag in 2009 and Parallax-Media in 2019.

A live online course with Dr. Marc GafniCourse begins: June 8Format: Live teachings + interactive Q&AHost: Parallax (online)More info: https://parallax-media.com/courses/unique-self-2-portal-3This course explores the evolutionary arc of human intimacy through three foundational forms of relationship: Role Mate, Soul Mate, and Whole Mate. Beginning with the ontology of relationship itself, we investigate how roles shape our identities and interactions, not just with others, but with life, the cosmos, and the divine. The Role Mate is often dismissed or undervalued, yet it forms the crucial infrastructure of relational life. Week one sets the ground for understanding this layer of connection, where self and society meet through structure, function, and context.

Luke Bhencke -Gurdjieff´s Christianity - The Fourth Way’s Prehistoric Teachings of Christ, avaliable NOW at Parallax Press:https://www.parallax-media.com/books/gurdjieffschristianityA deep and practical study of Gurdjieff’s writings, understood on their own terms, reveals a profound vision. Gurdjieff indicates clearly, and at times staggeringly so, that his ""system"", commonly referred to as the Fourth Way or the Work, is the continuation of Christ’s original doctrine that should not be confused with the teachings of modern Christianity that he claims have been irrevocably and inevitably distorted. He emphasizes that this system is part of a broader esoteric lineage that stretches far back into humanity’s prehistory and coming together in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. In this context, Gurdjieff reclaims Christianity as a school of inner transformation aimed at awakening the full potential of the human being and restoring the human connection to the divine. The material provided in this book is but a glimpse into that extraordinary vision.Bio: Raised in rural and outback Australia, Luke’s background in biomedical science and physical education, with diverse interests in philosophy, religion and art - ultimately drew him to Gurdjieff’s system where he has been a practitioner working with groups and individuals from around the world since 2000. Explorations related to Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way and Christianity can be found on his blogsite at 'Faith made Flesh’
