This is such a great summary of this podcast episode. Occupy for me was an amazing example of what a group of people can accomplish when they synchronize their efforts toward a common objective. Your should write more about this topic. I'd like to listen to a podcast episode where you, David and Daniel sit down and flesh out how this very important concept could be used to correct some of the glaring problems with our existing democratic process. 👍🏻💯

Thanks for adding to the discussion Jorge! I'm so grateful for the podcast and these platforms where we can speak about these amazing concepts and bring in feedback from those who experienced efforts like Occupy Wall St. I'm a big fan of The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible and have recently heard Daniel Schmachtenberger's talk about the Third Attractor, so it was great to hear David and Daniel weave these things together in their discussion. I"d love to chat on a podcast something talking about it, good to hear you'd find that appealing.

When I was 22, I wrote my senior university thesis on a new environmental ethic based on exactly what you and the sensemaking folks describe, except I called it "intuition" instead of resonance.

My advisor hated the piece, said it "smacked of theology." And, to his integrity credit, I received an A- because it made all the right points and ethical arguments, and was well-written.

I still have the paper, 30 years on. I have been meaning to dig it out, scan, and reprint as a record of my past thinking. My younger self was already in alignment.

So, it's especially lovely to see this coming forth now, here. An emergency of solutions from Beingness, as you describe in your piece.

Definitely a new - and way ancient - story.

Love this Erin. So cool that you were tapping into this intuition/resonance component back when you were writing your paper in college. (And yes, if you can dig up - do it!)

Funny how your advisor hated it and said it "smacked of theology" (yet still honored it with a good grade and acknowledgment of the points it made).

It's amazing when we get back into the flow of boringness and we witness the emergence occurring!
