The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives. William James A Human Being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
Transformation is entirely different.
When it becomes a butterfly, a caterpillar consumes and recreates every part of itself except its brain, heart and guts. Similarly, the information revolution is driving our economy utterly to recreate itself. With transformation, you don't have actor and object. A self-organizing system transforms itself. The alteration is systemic, from the inside out.
