0:00.0	Welcome back to the podcast, everybody. We have the return of Dr. Mark Gaffney today.
0:04.8	Running through the 12 faces of Eros, I believe we are on face number five today, unique self.
0:13.2	And while this may seem kind of bland, I can promise you this is one of the most important pieces to the equation.
0:19.5	In fact, listening to Mark really unlocked something for me.
0:23.9	And I mentioned it on the podcast what it unlocked for me with regard to my dark night
0:28.7	of the soul journey into hell, however you want to label that.
0:32.8	There is a point where we can go so far away from separate self, which is where most
0:37.0	people's consciousness
0:37.7	is till we merge with the one. And as Paul checkpoints out, a full merger means there's no mind

1:08.1	What's cool about these episodes with Mark is that we try to make these
1:11.3	direct straight to the point. If you want more, and we'll link to this in the show notes,
1:16.7	get the book A Return to Erros by Mark Gaffney and Christina Kincaid. It is one of the most important
1:21.7	books you'll ever come across. And you can really deep dive and unpack. What this show is doing is really, it's refreshing the face.
1:31.4	It's refreshing the idea and it's bringing it to a point so that if you don't read the book,
1:35.6	you still grasp and have a firm understanding of what it's about and how important each one of
1:40.0	these faces is.
