The Third Attractor equals Enlightenment
There are conversations that shift the center of gravity of a whole inquiry. My exchange with Daniel Oser was one of them. It brought a kind of clarity that emerges only when someone speaks from lived experience, deep contemplation, and a lifetime of wrestling with what “evolution” really means—not as a concept, but as the […]
Reflections on my conversation with Mary Adams
My dialogue with Mary Adams felt like sitting down with someone who is able to hold both the immense beauty of our human potential and the stark truth of our civilizational crisis without collapsing into either idealism or despair. After more than twenty conversations on co-creating the Third Attractor, this one touched a deep chord […]
A Third Attractor Approach to Education
Cécile Renouard’s approach to education emerges from a simple but radical intuition: we will not build a livable future unless people learn to inhabit the world differently. Education, in her view, is not merely the transmission of knowledge or competencies; it is the cultivation of capacities that allow human beings to perceive, feel, and act […]
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. It was not another take on complexity, collapse, or cultural evolution. It was a […]
The Integral Human: Beyond Rivalry
From the first moment of our evolution, rivalry has been woven into the fabric of human life. It helped us survive, compete, and grow. Yet today, this same impulse has become the greatest obstacle to our collective future. The old game of winning and losing cannot guide us through the challenges we face. What we […]
Grief, Love, and the Heart Big Enough for the World
In these conversations about the Third Attractor, one truth keeps coming back: we cannot build a new world if we have not learned to feel the old one dying. Beneath our philosophies and visions, there is grief. A grief that belongs not only to us but to the whole of life. Bruce Alderman spoke of […]
Networks of Networks: Building Integrative Culture
When I speak about the Third Attractor, I often find myself returning to this question: how do we build a culture that can hold the complexity of our time without fragmenting under its weight? 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 […]
