      M. Scot Peck's Maps is a good way to see experience. He states that as a person experiences something that person incorporates that information amoung past realizations and creates a map of experience. These maps must be revised and reviewed when new experiences challenge the design of our maps.
       In my own life I have created maps. These maps Have been revised often as I am confronted with new information. Some of my maps have been completely scrapped. An example is that during a campout several of the scouts discovered that plastic left over a flame will melt and ignite as it drips down. Several of us dubbed it "liquid fire" and put it in our maps as awesome. People told us to stop but we didn't listen because no reasons were provided and we thought they were trying to ruin our fun. Then when they finally told us burning plastic released toxic fumes did we stop. another example was when a fellow scout tried to put out a grease fire by slapping it. the first time it worked, so when the problem happened again it met the same response. Most standing around got first degree burns while I got three second degree burns about a centimeter in diameter on my left hand. The scars only went away several years after the incident.
        Another idea he discusses is tranference. Transference happens when a section of your map is wrong and it is not challenged and/ or is rigorously defended. In my life a profound transference is in my transition between gradeschool and highschool. I couldn't overcome my inablity to see my teachers because in gradeschool the vast majority of them were unavailible, ignorant, confused, etc... It took me nearly a semester to even confront a teacher for help and I'm still not totally comfortable
