i guess my question is about what _happens_ to what is believed to be true
(knowledge)
when this 'disturbing event' occurs - i assume the 'event' challneges or
contradicts the
beliefs of what is true(knowledge) but does that prompt learning,
or regression? resistance? fear? this is pretty much along the lines of
'crisis' isn't it? that everyone's life is potentially changed in a
crisis? a heart attack - a tragedy - a significant loss - these prompt
changes, when existing knowledge is contradicted and new understandings
are prompted -
but there is such a massive gap between the 'disturbance' and the learning
- what goes on in that gap?
