I think this quote from The Great Emergence (see website) goes well with my last post on what it feels like to be "emerging." If you have no clue what I meant by my poor analogy, maybe this will explain it a bit:

"Always without fail, the thing that gets lost early in the process of a reconfiguration is any clear and general understanding of who or what is to be used as the arbitrator of correct belief, action, and control. So long as that question remains unanswered, the lens of the common or shared imagination through which we view life in our own time and place is so opaque that we stumble and fall over and over again."

I guess the comforting thing is that if Phyllis Tickle and many others that agree with her are right, then these feelings of uncertainty, of confusion, of looking around for new tools of measuring truth, is completely normal.
