Preview Promulgation Options

The ways to promulgate a doctrine described in the previous topic can be plotted against pressure for social acceptance (X-axis) and the requirement for committed advocacy (Y-axis), which characterize the psychosocial field.

The 7 ways fall into four quadrants with ways in diametrically opposite quadrants showing a degree of antagonism:

  • Upper right quadrant ways are public and political,
    while lower left quadrant ways are private and confidential
  • Upper left quadrant ways are formal or official
    while the lower right quadrant way is personal or individual

The inner circle containing the initial 4 ways develop the School for those interested, while the outer circle contains ways to perpetuate the philosophy in society. The two circles fuse in fundamentals which can have both qualities.

The arrows reveal preferences for mobilizing others to accept the doctrine:

  • mentors appeal to the necessity of transmission
  • disseminators appeal to accepted revisions
  • the membership appeals to the value of applications
  • fundamentals that emerge from personal illumination are strengthened when they accord with cultural assumptions.
