It is an invitation to participate in evolving the source code of consciousness and culture towards a cosmocentric _ethos_ for a planetary civilization. - _Who am I? Who are we?_ [Narrative of identity] - _Where are we?_ [Universe Story] - _What is there to do? What do we want? What is our deepest heart’s desire—both personally and collectively?_ [Eros and _ethos_] - This movement is a strong, fluid, and emergent response to the meta-crisis, fundamentally understanding that existential and catastrophic risks are not just rooted in flawed infrastructure (technological and other systems), social structure (law, education, politics), but primarily in failed superstructure—specifically the collapse of an implicit, shared worldview, what we call a shared Story of Value rooted in evolving First Principles and First Values as a context for our diversity. - The core of CosmoErotic Humanism is therefore a new Story of Value rooted in First Principles and First Values that integrates the validated insights of the interior and exterior sciences—across premodern, modern, and postmodern thought—ultimately recasting cosmic evolution as a Story of Value, in which our stories are understood to be chapter and verse in the larger narrative arc of Reality—the CosmoErotic Evolutionary Love Story of the Intimate Universe. - These evolving First Principles and First Values embedded in a Story of Value are grounded in a comprehensive set of meta-theories, encompassing psychology (and a theory of self), epistemology, scientific metaphysics, education, ethics, theology, mysticism, sexuality, Eros, and ethos. -  New Story of Value rooted in First Principles of Cosmos. - Integral Theory (Wilber) - Unique Self Theory (Gafni) - meta-psychology (Stein, Gafni) - educational theory, developmental theory, and metrics (Stein) - classical sciences (Bloom) - anthro-ontological value theory (Gafni, Stein, Wilber), - metaphysics of Eros (Gafni, Kincaid, Stein) - and Conscious Evolution (Hubbard, Gafni) - among others.
