Welcome to Multimanifestations -- variations on a singular interdisciplinary theme: tradition-philosophy-democracy-psychology. Multimanifestations' primary goal is to provide paradigms that assist the reader to reDiscover, reDefine, reStore, and reVisit a normalcy that augments individuality and community. Multimanifestations' is a series of living paradigms. These living paradigms serve as a means to study and interpret culture and art from a local as well as global perspective. Locally and globally there is a call to derive a cross-cultural theory that protects diverse interests. Multimanifestations' discuses the behavioral and cognitive consistencies between developing/modern/postmodern individuals, peer groups, and communities. Multimanifestations' is also an archive literary work. In this website you will find my essays, poetry, and fiction (prose as well as plays).
