Yes, James' definition is that a person is constantly growing, evolving, hence they are by his definition in need of "de-nominalization".

I think you got it wrong. I seriously doubt the guys (and Tad James) at Advanced Neuro Dynamics did not mean that you can put stuff IN a wheelbarrow. It’s just an analogy to show you if something appears to be TANGIBLE or not. Yes, James’ definition is that a person is constantly growing, evolving, hence they are by his definition in need of “de-nominalization”.
