This is what we must BECOME for the Third Attractor to manifest.
The third attractor can only emerge when we awaken inwardly and at the same time create new outer systems that can hold and express this awakening. Real cultural change begins where people replace rivalry with a genuine interest in the wellbeing of the whole. Every viable future needs spaces in which we can hold differences […]
What Grace Rachmany Adds to the Third Attractor Dialogues
In so many of the Third Attractor conversations, a shared longing is palpable. We are trying to sense a possible future that does not collapse into authoritarian control or dissolve into chaotic fragmentation. Each dialogue brings a facet of that inquiry. Some illuminate the inner work. Some describe the cultural patterns. Others map the developmental […]
Beyond Ideas: The Imaginal Power We’ve Been Missing
Insights from My Conversation with John Churchill After eighteen Third Attractor interviews spanning integral theory, developmental psychology, regenerative culture, intentional communities, and systems change, my dialogue with John Churchill opened a door none of the previous conversations had fully stepped through.

The answer, I am beginning to see, does not lie in one movement, one institution, or one great leader. It lies […]
Awakening as the True Third Attractor
When I began the Third Attractor conversations, I was curious whether we could imagine a collective future that pulls us beyond both chaos and control. Over time, something deeper has come into view. Again and again, my guests return to one central insight: the true attractor may not be a social system at all. It […]
From Collapse to Co-Creation
Everywhere we look, something seems to be breaking down. Institutions that once held our trust are faltering. The economic systems that promised progress now produce exhaustion and inequality. Climate patterns are unraveling, and so are the inner structures that once gave meaning to our lives. For many, it feels like we are already living through […]
