Five Dialogues, performable as plays, each on a significant element in self knowledge through the means of philosophical midwifery, Buddhist dialectic, and Platonic dialectic. One dialogue, The Symmetry, includes a actual-life example of personal growth featured as the central part of a performed play. Another of the dialogues, Being, the One, was produced for and broadcast on Public Television. The reader is guided through key insights in both self-knowledge and of the universe through a Platonic model of discourse and discovery.
