see my response below in CAPs, Harris Harris Friedman, PhD Research Professor of Psychology, Professor Emeritus, Saybrook -----Original Message----- From: Eric J. Lindblom PhD [mailto:elindblom@hotmail.com] Sent: To: hfriedman@saybrook.edu Subject: Eric Lindblom (Saybrook 2003) Harris Re: http://project14.bravehost.com I never got the chance to thank you for your help toward my 2003 Saybrook graduation (when you were the Academic Dean). Thanks!!!! YOU'RE WELCOME, THOUGH I WAS JUST DOING MY JOB Since, I read the Saybrook catalog in its new editions regularly and I noticed your bio in the 2005 edition. I believe your interests are similar to mine at The Institute of Medicine in where I'm teach Consciousness going on the fourth year in a row. I have a question for you about http://project14.bravehost.com which describes a research project in The Psychology of Consciousness in which I am involved. Your bio mentions that you are interested in empirical assessment methods in Transpersonal. Would that apply, also, to Consciousness? I AM INTERESTED IN MEASURING SELF-CONCEPT FROM A TRANSPERSONAL PERSPECTIVE; THIS IS NOT AN INTEREST IN CONSCIOUSNESS PER SE, WHICH I CONSIDER TOO METAPHYSICAL TO BE AMENABLE TO ANY DIRECT MEASUREMENT APPROACH, BUT PRESUMABLY AS CONSCIOUSNESS EXPANDS, SO DOES ONE'S SELF-CONCEPT, SO MY WORK IS APPLICABLE TO CONSCIOUSNESS RESEARCH AS A MEASURE OF ONE OF THE POSSIBLE "FRUITS" OF EXPANDING CONSCIOUSNESS. I ATTACH A RELATED ARTICLE, CO-AUTHORED WITH DOUG MACDONALD. If so, would you have some tips as to methods I could use to assess the I WOULD NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT THAN I COULD GLEAN FROM THE WEBSITE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION Secondly, but highly related, your bio mentions facilitate and measuring organizational change, particularly, in cross-cultural. In that I am in Socially Engaged Spirituality, I do want to facilitate change and measure the organization that, in this case, is a Mexican city. WHAT ABOUT THIS CITY WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEASURE? Essentially, mine is an epistemological question: if I want to facilitate change, how do I know I am. THIS IS NOT AN EPISTEMOLOGICAL QUESTION IN MY VIEW; RATHER IT IS A STRAIGHT-FORWARD, AND VERY PRAGMATIC, QUESTION NEEDED IN ANY RESPONSIBLE INTERVENTION EFFORT, INCLUDING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE EFFORTS. I WILL SHARE A FEW ARTICLES ON HOW I DEAL WITH CHANGE IN CROSS-CULTURAL CONTEXTS, FOCUSING ON MY WORK IN AS AN EXAMPLE OF A MORE EMPIRICAL PIECE ON THIS TOPIC, SEE: VanDeusen, C., Mueller, C., Jones, G., & Friedman, H. (2002). A cross-cultural comparison of problem solving beliefs and behaviors: Helping managers understand country differences. International Journal of Management and Decision Making, 3,52-66. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT HAVE AN E-COPY OF THIS ARTICLE. BTW, I CHECKED OUT THE HARVARD WEBSITE AND DID NOT SEE YOU LISTED IN ANY WAY--WHAT IS YOUR DEPARTMENT AFFILIATION AT HARVARD? AND I COULD NOT FIND ANY REFERENCE THROUGH GOOGLE TO THE Behavioral Technology, Cd. KNOW HOW I COULD BETTER ACCESS INFORMATION ON THIS? AND IN WHAT DEPARTMENT ARE YOU A PROFESSOR? I HOPE THE MATERIALS I HAVE SHARED ARE HELPFUL TO YOU. FEEL FREE TO FOLLOW-UP WITH ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS. YOUR FOCUS ON THE MURDERS IN ciao Eric (Saybrook 2003) Eric J.
