The Integral Stage Expanded Universe (ISEU)

The Journey to Cosmo-Erotic Humanism (J2CEH) continues with the second volume of Radical Kabbalah -- Gafni's exploration of the acosmic humanism of Mordechai Leiner. We discuss the historical and esoteric figure of Solomon, the tension between universal & ethnocentric understandings of "Israel" in Leiner's work, the role of the sacred feminine Shekhinah in this spiritual cosmology, and the historical status and future needs of actual women participating in the Solomonic Wisdom lineage.

His recent article on attending the World Congress of Philosophy in Beijing in 2018 was published in the December 2019 issue of Integral Leadership Review.

He lives alone, close to the bush, on the outskirts of Kurri Kurri, a small country town in the Hunter Valley, near Sydney. He has a large extended family. He is a practicing Catholic, a Christian meditator, and a member of the local diocesan ecumenical and interfaith council.
