The transformative experiences that come to mind all involved tears.
 
I have a T-shirt with the following words on the back.
 
     A young man who cannot cry is a savage.
     An old man who cannot laugh is a fool.
 
I count myself fortunate that I laugh as much as I cry.
 
Yesterday morning I burst into uncontrollable laughter for a half minute or so
after reading "you're the one" in an email for a coworker.  Several weeks ago
during a discussion, I held up one index finger while saying "...two of..."  Late
Monday afternoon I sent this same guy an email message explaining "the
following five individuals..."  But I listed only four names.  So he comes back
"you're the one."  I wouldn't say this was a transformative experience.  But the
laugh certainly felt good.
 
I'd say the power of Quality to transform a person has a lot to do with how
connected a person is with their feelings.  If I had to choose between the
intellect and emotions I'd say Quality is experienced, personally, on an
emotional level.  It's almost visceral.
