The writer spent comparable amounts of time in college focused formally and informally upon: philosophy, religion, mathematics and physics --- and majored in both philosophy and physics and completed many of the offered upper level mathematics courses; starting college physics with the second term of introductory college physics without the prerequisite first term of introductory college physics; and received the introductory physics prize that years. Here, however, the issues addressed are NOT dealt with in the framework of traditional philosophy, theology, mathematics, physics, or social sciences. The writing is NOT framed in any traditional scholarly/scientific style or mode. It seems that none of the traditional scholarly- scientific styles fit the requirements of an exploration into the realms of reflexive-humane relationships in Shalom's-Many-Ways. Thus the explorations are made within other realms of consideration as regards evidence, framing questions, and the formation of ways of integrating them into a coherent network of insights. Perhaps the above appearances have to do with scientists, their promoters and their historians --- having given relatively little attention to the processes of formulating hypotheses --- a neglect that all too often turned out to have been misleading. Edison is well known for having tried out hundreds of failed substances for use in making light-bulb-filaments before-trying-hard-to-work- with tungsten --- which is exceedingly hard to make into filaments useful in incandescent light bulbs.! We need to know more about the reflexive-processes of formulating hypotheses about human reflexive relationships --- especially when we are confronted with reflexive- phenomena which we need to understand in more helpful and gracious ways. Those hypothesis-formulation-processes are NOT-EASY and NOT-CENTERED upon: objectivity, quantitative- measurements, computations, traditional-scientific- procedures, etc. Only after a hypothesis has been formulated and accepted as worthy of further consideration --- is it possible to CONCENTRATE-HELPFULLY upon: objectivity, quantitative-measurements, computations, traditional-procedures, mathematical-manipulations, mathematical-equations, etc. --- in Solving-Problems and Resolving-Dilemmas in healthy coordinated ways --- and being well/healthy in the may Many-Complementary-Ways of shalom. Be Graciously-Together in the Many-Ways-of-Shalom. (c) 2007 by Paul A.
