Man is a Dynamic EntityMan is a Dynamic Entity
The strongest justification for seeing man as a dynamic entity can be found in the freedom discussed above. Human freedom is the freedom to become what man is intended to be - to which end man has indeed been equipped with certain abilities. Accordingly man is seen as still being a traveller.
For this reason Functional Intelligence should stimulate and motivate people to continue to travel on to completeness. It should stimulate people to be entirely open and teach them to be responsive to change. This means that the purpose of all counselling will then be change or growth. The objectives of any counselling programs will consequently also have to be formulated in these terms, i.e. the nature and extent of the desired change. In Functional Intelligence the purpose will always have to be the stimulation of growth or change in the client. In order to do this the client will have to be assisted in learning to understand the role his or her own choices play in the desired growth, and he or she will have to be taught how to make these choices. However, it should be kept in mind that the person's existing value system, attitudes and patterns of thought will delimit his or her choices. Attention will therefore also have to be given to these factors. Glossary
