==Notes==

A debacle is an [[End of Stage]] (specifically end of [[Stage Two]]) risk/occurrence. A debacle occurs when a species has developed advanced economic, political, technological, and military systems without healing and a concomitant re[[Connection]]. A debacle occurs because a disconnected species is being "held back" and consequently cannot handle the powers provided by advanced technological and administrative capacity.

A debacle is characterized by ecological, economic, social, political, and military spiral into self-destruction.

Debacles typically do not wipe out a species, but they can cause an inordinate amount of unnecessary suffering, and they can set a species back several decades or more, depending on how catastrophic the debacle is. For this reason, an [[Intervention]] may be staged.

"By adopting these elementary Sufi pratices, the mind can be brought into tune with the spirit of the age--its grossness notwithstanding--and illuminated by the 'light' which is in every one of us; and further, or latent forces for good can be increased, as well as our creative productivity."<Ref>Ikbal Ali Shah.

==Notes==

For example, the institution of education is a formal and informal set of rules, guidelines, norms, and values aimed at the overt goal of educating children. Those who enter the educational institution are expected to follow the rules (i.e., sit in desks, listen to teacher, assess students with exams), act in line with expectations, and otherwise carry out the actions scripted by the institution and its carriers. The ostensible purpose of following the rules and obeying the scripts is to ensure children are educated properly

There are many types of institutions besides the institution of modern education, including the institution of the family, the institution of marriage, modern financial institutions (like banks and stock markets), and so on. All that is required of an institutino is that there be rules, guidelines, norms, and scripts that control human behaviour for specific human purposes.

In most cases, institutions may be housed in physical structures. The institution of education, for example, has offices and classrooms. It is important to note that a physical structure is not a required characteristic of an institution. The tribal institution of story telling (which is patterned behavior organized around a functional output), for example, is independent of any physical structures.

Although we are often born into institutions, institutions themselves do not exist without tacit individual approval and acceptance of behavioral patterns. Teachers, for example, recreate the institution of education on a daily basis by their formal and informal participation in the behavioral patterns associated with the institution. It is the same with all institutions. An institution exists only when individuals voluntarily (or involuntarily) participate in the behavioral patterns. In other words, the behavioral patterns of institutions do not exist independently of the institution. We (and by "we" I mean the witting or unwitting participants in institutional behaviors) are taught the "ways" and behaviors of a specific institution. Teachers for example spend many extra years in school not only learning the technical component of teaching, but also the expected behaviors. The same can be said of any institution in society. The behaviors, norms, and values associated with particular institutions are "passed on." This process of learning the institutional ropes is known as [[Socialization]].

==Notes==

[[William James]] quotes Charles Kingsley "When I walk the fields, I am oppressed now and then with an innate feeling that everything I see has a meaning, if I could but understand it. And this feeling of being surrounded with truths which I cannot grasp amounts to indescribable awe sometimes…. Have you not felt that your real soul was imperceptible to your mental vision, except in a few hallowed moments?"<ref>James, William. Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature (p. 334). Kindle Edition.</ref>
