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.

Developmental theorists all describe, in one form or another, transformations in consciousness and evolutionary development from simple to increasingly complex ways of seeing the world (Cranton:77). These movements are involve profound shifts in perspective. | Developmental theorists all describe, in one form or another, transformations in consciousness and evolutionary development from simple to increasingly complex ways of seeing the world (Cranton:77).
