One Reality: the web-site of Keith Beasley

Publications & public engagement activities

Long before moving to Higher Education and its focus on public engagement I have always felt at home networking and sharing my ideas with individuals and groups from all walks of life. As an engineer (my first career) I fully appreciated that research, experience and knowledge is of little value unless it is communicated, in whatever form is appropriate, with those who might benefit from it. Just as importantly, such sharing is a two-way activity: it is through the exchange of  theories and practices that new insights are gained and ideas refined. This is particularly the case on topics related to OneReality and transcendence: unless hypotheses and techniques are fully consistent with the experience of individuals and groups from a broad spectrum of human endevour, they cannot be considered as representative of OneReality.

This page lists books, papers, presentations and other public engagement that I have written or given over the years. It is in reverse chronological order and split into sections corresponding to the phases of my working life. Whilst the items included in each phase (see my background)  might seem to relate to very different subject areas, the themes of experiential learning, action research, integration and whole-ness are common.
