It is important to be able to distinguish among the many different kinds of reflexive realities, and to relate to each kind in appropriate ways. The following point to various kinds of reflexive realities: 1. What you believe you should do. 2. How perfectly you believe you should do what you do. 3. How perfectly you do what you believe you should do. 4. How accurately you know how perfectly you do what you believe you should do. 5. How honestly you think about how perfectly you do what you believe you should do. 6. How you regard yourself when you fail to do what you believe you should do as perfectly as you believe you should do it. 7. How others regard you when you fail to do what YOU believe that you should do. 8. How others regard you when you fail to do what THEY believe that you should do. 9. How you believe you should regard yourself when you fail to do what YOU believe you should do. 10. How others believe that they should regard you when you fail to do what YOU (or THEY) believe you should do. 11. How YOU (or OTHERS) develop each of the above beliefs. 12 How YOU (or OTHERS) do (or do not) perceive the consequences of each of the above beliefs. 13. How you (or others) do (or do not) change beliefs in the light of the consequences of each belief. By their natures each of the above is a reflexive reality, not an objective reality. Thus the traditional scientific paradigm is not suited to dealing with the above realities, because the traditional scientific paradigm was designed to deal exclusively with non- reflexive realities.
