From Information To Transformation: Education For The Evolution Of Consciousness

From Information to Transformation: Education for the Evolution of Consciousness

From Information to Transformation is about remembering what matters in education and in life. In many ways, it concerns who we are and how we know. Drawing largely from the wisdom traditions, transpersonal psychology, and pedagogy, a map of the depths of knowing and learning is constructed that unfolds through six interrelated layers: information, knowledge, intelligence, understanding, wisdom, and transformation. This provides both a process and a direction for education; students and teachers can engage these layers in a single moment or over the course of an assignment. Entering into these depths offers an education that is both practical and remarkable, one that replaces radical disconnection with radical amazement. It includes the education of the mind and the heart, balances intuition with the analytic, and mastery with mystery, emphasizes community, character, and creativity, and cultivates wisdom over the mere accumulation of facts.
