The Institute for Dialectical metaRealism™—a Bahá’í–inspired social–and–economic–development (SED) project—is the think tank on theory, method, and praxis for The MarkFoster.NETwork™. Our focuses are: clinical sociology, public intellectualism in public sociology, advocacy journalism, history, and religious studies as in: the Baháʾí Faith, Sufism, Pentecostalism, Judaism, and 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 may the DmR cadre on our Facebook forum.

And by conscientization in podcasting and writing, DmR promotes unity and political nonpartisanship.

Relativist and fallibilist epistemologies become empirical methodologies. One DmR methodology, a new qualitative human science of phenomenological analysis, is Heartfulness Inquiry™ or The Echoing Practice™. It resembles: heuristic, individual lived, integral, mindful, intuitive, empathic, integrated, organic, appreciative, and phenomenological inquiries with autoethnography and participant observation (ethnography) among others. DmR’s sociology uses: critical realism (metaphysical grounding, ground of being, or ground state), socialism from below–Third Worldism–Fourth Worldism (heterodox Maoism), intersectional Marxism, kyriarchy, and Antifa (praxis of resistance):
