Have a feeling this will be a deep dive over the next couple of weeks (will be interesting to see how I juggle job changes, back-to-school etc with rapidly changing vibrational frequencies…)
Thank you, Tom, for another excellent article and podcast — elegant yet informative.
I'm going to go out on a limb here. The notion of "following our heart" to tune into attractors that pull us into the future in a generative way seems very archetypically feminine to me. As a mother, I have an innate sense of what Di Corpo is pointing to. It also doesn't surprise me that his wife initiated this work with him. Women's bodies seem to naturally hold an evolutionary "pull" so beautifully. As Di Corpo says, "Their bodies feel the future." This may be what is meant by "woman's intuition" or "mother's intuition."
In "Understanding Iain McGilchrist's Worldview," David McIlroy points out: "McGilchrist’s argument is that healthy individuals, groups, and societies approach the world first via the right hemisphere, reacting to what is found there to form an impression of how everything links together; then the left hemisphere looks in detail at elements that can become objects of human action in isolation, and then the results of the left hemisphere’s inspection are returned to the right hemisphere, where the individual elements are reintegrated into a more profound understanding of the whole."
Having said this, since we humans are more than our biology, there seems to be a "broad-based" attending that takes place in the "feminine" within all of us, holding BOTH what is past and present AND what is future (as potential). Then it is the "masculine" in us that gives us the courage to take steps toward our future in a meaningful way.
The reason I emphasize these innately receptive and active states in all of us is that there is a strong left-brained, male presence in the liminal web when striking a healthy balance between right and left hemispheric attention may be required to address some the world's most pressing problems. While I deeply appreciate the "galaxy brains" for helping us understand the complexity of life, I am sensing the emergence of our "galaxy heart" into the collective conversation, as you have begun to do. And I am grateful. 🙏

Would it be possible to get a transcript of the interview please?
