 In examining the literature it is clear that transformation means different things to different people.  In the sense I am using it, it is a full scale shift in ones consciousness, where ones relationship to reality itself is fundamentally different.  Consciousness can be seen to be a state of mind, but also a way of perceiving the world and our place within it.  If we perceive the world to be separate from us, and a place to that can be controlled, and predicted, this leads us to behave in different ways than if we believe ourselves to be part of a complex and continually emerging and evolving web of life. In examining the literature it is clear that transformation means different things to different people.  In the sense I am using it, it is a full scale shift in ones consciousness, where ones relationship to reality itself is fundamentally different.  Consciousness can be seen to be a state of mind, but also a way of perceiving the world and our place within it.  If we perceive the world to be separate from us, and a place to that can be controlled, and predicted, this leads us to behave in different ways than if we believe ourselves to be part of a complex and continually emerging and evolving web of life.

 The first definition neatly describes a simple change in point of view or attitude, the second definition clearly makes the object more distant from the viewer where it is given a dimension in space, and has a relative importance, and a proportion in relation to everything else.  The first definition neatly describes a simple change in point of view or attitude, the second definition clearly makes the object more distant from the viewer where it is given a dimension in space, and has a relative importance, and a proportion in relation to everything else.
