1. Evolutionary Responsibility
Main voices: Nish Dubashia, Said Dawlabani, Benjamin De Pauw, Christopher Cooke
All saw humanity as a co-agent of evolution, not a spectator. They emphasized that evolution itself carries an ethical direction toward truth, beauty, and goodness, and that our task is to consciously align with it. This includes assuming responsibility for the planetary whole, rather than perpetuating systems that exploit it.
2. Sacred Interdependence
Main voices: Bruce Alderman, Holly Woods, Benjamin De Pauw
Reality was described as an indivisible web of relationships—ecological, social, and spiritual. These speakers stressed feeling our participation in the living field rather than standing outside it. From this non-dual realization flows reverence for life, empathy, and ecological ethics.
3. Conscious Agency and Moral Maturity
Main voices: Robb Smith, Bruce Alderman, Holly Woods
They insisted that external transformation must be matched by interior growth. Without self-knowledge, moral intelligence, and humility, freedom collapses into chaos and order hardens into control. True leadership therefore depends on inner development equal to outer influence.
4. Integral Pluralism
Main voices: Robb Smith, Jon Eden Khan, Layman Pascal
They argued for an integration of multiple truths and developmental levels inside one coherent frame. Robb spoke of building “cooperation protocols” that can hold diversity without fragmentation; Jon and Layman linked this to political and cultural systems that integrate rather than polarize.
5. Regenerative Design
Main voices: Said Dawlabani, Brandon Norgaard, Christopher Cooke
Each envisioned social and economic systems modeled on living processes. Regeneration means creating conditions where life continually renews itself—through ecological coherence, adaptive institutions, and technologies that serve the biosphere instead of exploiting it.
6. Inner Transformation as Foundation
Main voices: Holly Woods, Elizabeth Debold, Nish Dubashia, Christopher Cooke
All held that no sustainable outer change can occur without awakening consciousness. They described the Third Attractor as emerging from self-transcendence, soul alignment, or awakening to the evolutionary impulse. Inner coherence is the seed of collective coherence.
7. Co-Creative Dialogue
Main voices: Diane Musho Hamilton, Bruce Alderman, Daniela Bomatter (as interviewer)
Dialogue itself was seen as an evolutionary practice—holding opposites until a new synthesis arises. Diane’s conflict work and Bruce’s grief-to-wisdom approach both modelled how authentic conversation can release fear, generate insight, and weave collective intelligence.
8. Embodied Compassion and Love
Main voices: Elizabeth Debold, Holly Woods, Jon Eden Khan
Love appeared as the most transformative force—whether agape, coherence, or care for future generations. Elizabeth traced historical shifts in love’s forms and foresaw a larger, transpersonal love adequate to our planetary condition.
9. Systemic Coherence
Main voices: Robb Smith, Brandon Norgaard, Jon Eden Khan
They spoke of “networks of networks,” new governance, and organizations led by integrative consciousness. Such systems balance autonomy with communion and enable cooperation across scales—a living architecture for collective intelligence.
10. Trust in Emergence
Main voices: Elizabeth Debold, Christopher Cooke, Layman Pascal, Bruce Alderman
Rather than engineering the future, these voices urged humility before complexity. The Third Attractor arises through alignment with life’s deeper intelligence. Our task is to cultivate the conditions—presence, attention, coherence—through which higher order can naturally emerge.
