Human development might then be viewed as a process of achieving more intense experiences more frequently, rather as an art connoisseur seeks greater exposure to better paintings, through which his taste is developed. Work has a symbolic dimension and engagement in it implies much more than can be captured in words. Significance is derived from the unexpressed presence or the potential of any moment. Human development might then be viewed as the birth of such potential and the increasing recognition of the immensity that remains unexpressed. Inherently comprehensible phenomena Modes of engagement can be viewed as comprehensible in terms of existing paradigms or through their natural evolution.

Human development is then a process of making what is known to the experts more widely accessible and of investigating what they do not yet comprehend. Human development is then essentially an evolving mystery whose nature is beyond the grasp of the human mind. Work is then the fulfillment of established procedures. This view would tend to be favoured by those endeavouring to develop programmes of human development in which certain modes are experienced at certain stages or developmental phases. Human development is then viewed rather like an educational curriculum through which people need to pass in an orderly manner, building on appropriate foundational experiences, to the possible levels of achievement defined by the outstanding pioneers of the last.
