[Adam Blatner]

Dear Colleagues, 
      My poor percolating brain has been chewing on a number of issues. 
          1. Belonging-ness: Posted on webpage: http://www.blatner.com/adam/psyntbk/belongingness.html   This essay also touches indirectly on issues related to sociometry, though I felt that for a number of audiences the introduction of that word would be a distraction. In another paper, perhaps, I'll relate this paper to the sociometric implications.  

        2. Paradigm Shift: My intuition is that we are in the midst of several fundamental shifts of world-view. One is the developing of more complex forms of self-reflective thinking: Written about on  http://www.blatner.com/adam/consctransf/paradigmshiftmtcog.html   

         I'm working on essays on two other paradigm shifts---maybe three--- and would be more than interested in your ideas. The question is not just what new ideas are becoming more influential, but whole complexes of ideas involving many cultural institutions. What represents a way of thinking that was almost unheard of fifty years ago, and/or was vaguely disreputable. (A friend noted that a new idea begins as heresy and ends as superstition! ;-) 

       Warmly, Adam Blatner, M.D.
