A Passport for Dual Citizenship with Michael Murphy & Marc Gafni

Michael Murphy, Founder of Esalen, in conversation with Marc Gafni, explore the role of World Spirituality in the evolution of the Kosmos. Marc brings new insights to Murphy’s Seekers and Sages dialogue series from the Kabbalistic perspectives of Abraham Kuk, a visionary, mystical authority on the Kabbalah (as well as an orthodox rabbi who was important to the formation of modern Israel). Kuk’s reading of the Kabbalah emphasizes the evolutionary possibilities latent in the human mind, heart and body. And it is these key evolutionary possibilities that lay the foundation for a truly World Spirituality to emerge.
