Marc Gafni Dialogue with Don Beck

As one makes the leap from True Self to Unique Self, what are some of the common pitfalls spiritual practitioners encounter? And how can we navigate these obstacles more skillfully and with more discernment?

In this groundbreaking dialog, recorded in 2013, Dr. Gafni and Dr. Beck have an essential conversation on the relationship between Unique Self and levels of consciousness. Dr. Beck views Gafni’s work on Unique Self as the best map we have of the key dimensions of second tier (yellow and turquoise) consciousness.
