The Problem with Inner & Outer Transformation

Article Jessica Böhme Theory 2026

Summary

Researcher Jessica Böhme questions treating inner and outer change as two worlds to bridge. Reading philosopher Henri Bortoft, she concludes that transformation “is not only about changing what we think, do, or how our systems function. It is also (and maybe more so?) about becoming attentive to how a world comes into appearance for us, and how we participate in that happening.”

Rationale

She arrives where we did: unless we notice what shapes how the world appears to us, even well-meant change gets pulled back to familiar ways of seeing.
