Abstract
Rogers’ principle of integrality was examined using quantitative methodology by the author in 1986. Since then, Rogers made revisions changing from probability and multidimensionality to unpredictability and pandimensionality. Another look at integrality through a lens congruent with the revisions was designed. A descriptive approach, storying the lived experience of making a significant life change was completed. A pandimensional view of the continuous integral human environment mutual energy field process included believing, dreaming, realizing, choosing, and envisioning while making a life change with the wave manifestation of storying changing from pragmatic knowing, to imaginative knowing, to visionary knowing.
