Notes

An Personal Debacle (hitting rock bottom, personal tragedy), occurs when an individual's drive to Align and Connect is, for various reasons, thwarted to the point of organic collapse.

A Collective Debacle usually occurs when a species technological, administrative, economic, and military prowess outpaces its ability to heal and reconnect, usually because an addicted Accumulating Class[1] cannot be made to release its control over The System. Debacle leads to devastating personal and evolutionary setbacks.

In an unpublished article entitled The Psychology of Tragedy, Abraham Maslow made a special note on tragedy. In his attempt to understand what this was all about, he provided a wash list of both personal and collective "tragedies,"[2] better in my view as personal and collective debacles.

A debacle is an End Stage risk/occurrence. A debacle occurs when a species has developed advanced economic, political, technological, and military systems (including Automated Intelligence) without concomitant Healing and Reconnection. A debacle typically occurs because a species is being "held back" (spiritually speaking) and consequently cannot unfold enough to handle the powers provided by advanced financial, 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. For this reason, an Intervention may be staged to facilitate Graduation.
