GThe Institute for Dialectical metaRealism™—a Bahá’í–inspired social–and–economic–development (SED) project—is the theoreticalmethodologicalrevolutionary think tank of The MarkFoster.NETwork. We focus on: clinical sociology (public sociologists as public intellectuals), advocacy journalism, history, and religious studies as in: Baháʾí Faith, Sufism, Pentecostalism, Judaism, and the sociology of language and religion. The libertarian Marxist and concrete utopian Dialectical metaRealism™ (DmR™) is a tributary of the current of Bhaskarian critical realism. You are cordially invited to Join the DmR tendency on our Facebook forum.

DMR’s critical realist scientific socialism tests hypotheses in a communism without borders: Marxism, Marxism–Leninism, Maoism, Trotskyism, autonomism, and others. This writer’s dialectical unity turn parallels Roy Bhaskar’s (1944–2014) spiritual turn. Ontologically, the Unicentric Paradigm or Echoes of Cosmic Unity—a multi–layered enfoldment of eternal and unknowable unities—exhibits Bhaskar’s nonduality in his philosophy of metaReality. With emancipatory agency, virtues or unities—defined in DmR as the “stuff” of nondual reality—are acquired. By conscientization in podcasting and writing, DmR promotes: unity, non–politicism, and nonpartisanship.

Relativist and fallibilist epistemologies are empirically applied as methodologies. One DmR methodology, a new qualitative human science of phenomenological analysis, is called Heartfulness Inquiry or The Echoing Practice. It closely resembles: heuristic, individual lived, integral, mindful, intuitive, integrated, organic, and phenomenological inquiries with autoethnography and participant observation (ethnography) among others. DmR’s sociological framework incorporates: critical realism (metaphysical grounding, ground of being, or ground state), socialism from below–Third Worldism (heterodox Maoism), intersectional Marxism, kyriarchy, and Antifa (praxis).
