The Living Experience of Hiding.

Abstract

Hiding is a universal humanuniverse living experience and is significant in living quality. This is the first humanbecoming inquiry into the living experience of hiding. Parsesciencing, a phenomenological-hermeneutic mode of inquiry within the humanbecoming paradigm, was used for this investigation. The investigation included 10 historians between the ages of 34 and 76 years who were willing to share their experiences of hiding. The inquiry stance was as follows: What is the discerning extant moment of the universal humanuniverse living experience of hiding? The major discovery of this inquiry was the discerning extant moment: Hiding is fortifying vigilance emerging with a welcoming shelter of ingenious maneuvers of not-letting-know-letting-know while distancing from involvements.
