Project 14: Dreamwork Epistemology:

Introduction:

This website treats one of the problem areas of Project 14. That area is epistemology. There are questions about research and the process of research.

How does a research process happen?

Research begins with a researchable question (or several). Key words are how, which and what. Those questions begin a formal analysis in Project 14 disciplined inquiry.

Analysis:

This website is about Project 14 and the first question in the formal analysis is: How do you know what you know? There are several assertions that Project 14 makes where the focus and the context is the Maimonides dream experiments conducted by Stanley Krippner and Montague Ullman in Brooklyn New York. Those assertions lead to hypotheses.

There are hypothetical questions about assessments of the Maimonides work asked by Montague Ullman, M.D. that need answers. "Given the diametrically opposed assessments of the Maimonides dream experiments, and setting aside momentarily the manifest malice in some of them, which side is correct? Equally disconcerting, how is one to tell? What criteria should govern?" (Ullman, 2000) These questions are seen by Project 14 as bias, epistemology and criteria selection.

There are several hypotheses in Project 14: Epistemology.

It is possible to conduct investigation of bias, epistemology and criteria selection regarding the Maimonides Dream Laboratory. This website begins with one: Epistemology.

It is possible to determine relevant researchable questions for subsequent replication studies.

It is possible to identify the calumniators of bias and identify ethical issues.

It is possible to produce professional praxis.

Other Project 14 websites treat questions of bias, criteria selection, researchable questions, calumniators and praxis regarding the Mainmonides Dream Laboratory. This website shall treat epistemology.

What is Epistemology?

"Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that studies knowledge.

It attempts to answer the basic question: what distinguishes true (adequate) knowledge from false (inadequate) knowledge?"

The discipline of epistemology is imperative when engaged in the study of psi phenomena. Otherwise, an experimentor would have no idea how they know.

What is Project 14?

Project 14 is study in SOCIALLY ENGAGED SPIRITUALITY where the mission is to research the horrible and extremely violent set of problems known as The Dead Women of Juárez. The methodology for Project 14 is to use dreamwork for socially engaged spirituality to move consciousness in Juarez from a lower reality to a higher plane. Using the scientific method, the areas of concentration for the research are theory, method, practice, peer review, reflection, data analysis and to fostering learning.

It has been recognized that there are many pre-requisites for the application of dreamwork to Juárez.
