We may now see more clearly what “revitalization movements” revitalize.
Whenever an individual who is under chronic, physiologically measurable stress, receives repeated information which indicates that his mazeway does
not lead to action which reduces the level of stress, he must choose between
maintaining his present mazeway and tolerating the stress, or changing the
mazeway in an attempt to reduce the stress. Changing the mazeway involves
changing the total Gestalt of his image of self, society, and culture, of nature
and body, and of ways of action. It may also be necessary to make changes
in the “real” system in order to bring mazeway and “reality” into congruence.
The effort to work a change in mazeway and “real” system together so as to
permit more effective stress reduction is the effort at revitalization; and the
collaboration of a number of persons in such an effort is called a revitalization
movement.
