"You must be a marvel . . . if you are able to continue in that state for long."

Well, there's still the "got a click on it 'cause it's squished" phenomenon, but awesome none the less.

Learn something new everyday.

The term "center of gravity" goes all the way back to William James!

" . . .It is assumed to reflect a person's most ego-syntonic and habitual frame of reference or preferred mode of responding to life. James, (1902) refers to this as a person's "center of gravity," a particularly felicitous metaphor."

-Susanne Cook-Greuter, Postautonomous Ego Development: A Study of Its Nature and Measurement 1999,2005 pg. 27

2.	Psychiatry. of or denoting a personality characterized by normal emotional responsiveness to the environment.

Can anyone summarize how the terms Translation and Transformation are defined in AQAL please? I have my suspicions but I am not really sure.

Thanks.

I am also wondering if there is an official AQAL way the terms Contraction and Inflation are used.

Thanks again.

Very briefly I would say that transformation is vertical development and translation is horizontal development. In other words transformation is moving up a level, and translation is becoming more full or healthy at you current level.

I'm very glad that Ken is now saying openly that healthy translation is always the primary goal, instead of trying to chase the next higher level.
