My sister is a developer of "music therapy" and has integrated
Eastern thinking, complexity, emergence, biology, physics and
music - to name a few areas.
She approaches learning from a perspective that, I think, would not
include any "unlearning". Her perspective is one of resonance and
dissonance and the organisms continuing attempt to make patterns.
A dissonance will stay around until it resolves itself. And then
will remain integrated in some form etermally. When a new dissonance
occurs, it too will stay around until resolved. This will change the
preceding states in subtle ways and yet they will still all exist -
but in continually transforming ways.
Is anything unlearned? Or is all past learning embedded in as well
as transformed by current experience?
The point, for me, is not the fact. The point for me is the power of
the story or model in shaping my approach to learning and
development.
