The Omnipresent Reality (Brahman, God, The Absolute) Theory of Creation (Overview) (Involution & Evolution) The Involutionary Process The Evolutionary Process Plane of Energy Oneness of Existence Divine Life on Earth Sri Aurobindo, The Mother

The Omnipresent Reality (Brahman, God, The Absolute) (back)   The Nature of the Reality God, Brahman, the Reality is Evolving  -- Normally we consider God as something distant and apart from ourselves. Rarely do we think of the Divine as immanent in the world, let alone evolving in the universe. ... (Roy Posner)   Experiencing the Reality Experiencing the Reality from Within  -- There is an ultimate Reality. It is beyond our normal conceptions of God. It is timeless, spaceless, immutable, indefinable. It is the Unmanifest as well as the Manifest. It is the Absolute of the West; Brahman of the East. How can we know this ultimate Reality?  Not when we live ordinary lives of the surface. Only when we develop an inner poise and orientation can we begin that journey. From there we can begin to get intimations of this Reality. (Roy Posner) First Glimpse of the Omnipresent Reality -- When we conceive, perceive, and realize the Reality in our own lives, we have the greatest of all human experiences; that of the Infinite Divine expressing in all planes, beings, and things. Everywhere we look, we feel the Reality in its essence, in its progressive unfolding. We feel that we are part of a totality that is Infinite, Conscious, and Divine. (Roy Posner) Realizing the Reality (Brahman) In Our Lives -- When we move to higher mind, including its spiritual aspects as intuition and revelations of thought -- of knowledge perceived directly without the hard churning of thinking -- we begin to perceive the Reality; i.e. have a direct Vision of the unity of spirit and matter, and a perception of the infinite possibility in the plane we are focused on. (Roy Posner) Manifesting the Spiritual Aspects of the Creator in Creation -- We can experience the spiritual qualities of the Divine -- such as oneness, delight, love, knowledge, truth, and bliss -- fulfilling the creator's intent in Creation. (Roy Posner) Combining Science's & Spirit's Startling New Discoveries -- In combination, an expanded Science that includes life not just matter but all of life in what we can call a 'Science of Life,' and a spirituality in which the seemingly unknown can be fully known and experienced in all its dimensions by any person, can change the course of human understanding and the history of life on earth. (Roy Posner)     Theory of Creation (Overview) (Involution & Evolution) (back)   Overview Theory of Creation (Involution & Evolution) -- An outline of the process by which the universe unfolded from a Divine source, and how that universe and we humans within it are evolving toward our spiritual destiny. This is our Theory of Creation site. (Roy Posner) The Involutionary and Evolutionary Process -- It is relatively easy for us to perceive that Evolution is taking place in the universe -- i.e. there has been and continues to be a movement from matter to animated life to mentality in conscious beings, and upward to ever higher consciousness. It is less obvious however to perceive the Involution of existence that has taken shape from an Infinite consciousness that has culminated in material existence in the universe. (Roy Posner) How the One Became the Many; and Space and Time Emerged -- Explains how the Truth Consciousness rendered images and then distinct forms of its Real Ideas, beginning the process of creation in the universe, including the emergence of space and time.  (Roy Posner) Manifesting the Spiritual Aspects of the Creator in Creation -- We can experience the spiritual qualities of the Divine -- such as oneness, delight, love, knowledge, truth, and bliss -- fulfilling the creator's intent in Creation. (Roy Posner) The Process of Creation, Involution, and Evolution -- Through the process of creation -- i.e. vision, organization, and execution -- all life progresses. If the change is truly significant, -- i.e. there is a dramatic change in consciousness, bringing about a movement to an entirely new level or plane of existence -- then there is also evolution. And yet the seeds of our evolution and change, including all the planes above it, are already there involved, hidden in our being in potential, waiting to come out. (Roy Posner) Accomplishment Through the Process of Creation In this interview, Roy Posner discusses how we can learn to create infinite accomplishment, success, and joy for ourselves, our businesses, for society by following growth and development processes that mirror the process by which the universe was created from the One.  (Roy Posner) How Infinite Variety Emerges in the Universe -- This articles goes through the Process of Creation to explain why there is infinite variety in the universe. New! Reason for Physical and Psychological Suffering in Creation -- The nature of life for most people is suffering. People suffer from pain and disease and loss of near ones and disabilities of old age. This article describes the causes of suffering in life, from the practical causes to the cosmic. (Roy Posner) The Infinite Power of Creation -- The process of creation is not limited to acts we as individuals engage in, but to all planes and field of life -- whether it is a business, social institutions, or society as whole; even the universe itself. (from 'The Miraculous Phenomenon of Life Response' book) (Roy Posner)   Combining Science's & Spirit's Startling New Discoveries -- In combination, an expanded Science that includes life not just matter but all of life in what we can call a 'Science of Life,' and a spirituality in which the seemingly unknown can be fully known and experienced in all its dimensions by any person, can change the course of human understanding and the history of life on earth. (Roy Posner) The Quantum Activist: Merging Science and Consciousness in Quantum Physics  (Roy Posner)   Science's Limited View From Material View of Science to Involution/Evolution of the Infinite -- Scientists ever-increasingly stand agape as they see their material, mechanistic views of existence ironically torn down through their own scientific investigations. When they come to see that all other planes -- back to cosmic Mind and Spirit -- were/are there before creation, and that life, mind, and spirit are buried in matter waiting to come out, they will begin to perceive the right relation of things, including the ultimate meaning and purpose of life in the cosmos. (Roy Posner) The Triple Compulsion of Evolution --Material science explains evolution superficially. Rather we can identify three general movements that compel progress of forms, including us, in the universe. (Roy Posner) The Quantum Activist: Merging Science and Consciousness in Quantum Physics -- Science will only understand Reality when it sees Consciousness as the all determining factor in creation. The Quantum Activist explains why. (Roy Posner)     The Involutionary Process (the descent from spirit through energy) (back) The Process of Creation, Involution, and Evolution -- Through the process of creation -- i.e. vision, organization, and execution -- all life progresses. If the change is truly significant, -- i.e. there is a dramatic change in consciousness, bringing about a movement to an entirely new level or plane of existence -- then there is also evolution. And yet the seeds of our evolution and change, including all the planes above it, are already there involved, hidden in our being in potential, waiting to come out. (Roy Posner) How the One Became the Many; and Space and Time Emerged -- Explains how the Truth Consciousness rendered images and then distinct forms of its Real Ideas, beginning the process of creation in the universe, including the emergence of space and time. (Roy Posner) The Spiritual Essence and the Process of Creation -- The transcendent Reality is not only a spiritual essence, a being, a witness, but is also a creator Force; a power that enables forms of that spiritual Force to unfold in the universe. (Roy Posner) Reason for Physical and Psychological Suffering in Creation -- Suffering is a product of the Divine's intent to create infinite variety of forces and forms, so that they may discover in infinitely variable ways the truths of existence, enabling infinitely variable, dynamic Delight, which is even beyond the static Delight of the Infinite that is the source of all things. Suffering is thus a product of the unconsciousness that the Supreme allowed for, beginning with the near unconsciousness, nescience of matter in the universe. (Roy Posner) Application of Satchitananda in Our Lives -- Here are a few basics of Satchitananda (Existence, Consciousness Force, Delight) that is the first step the Brahman takes on its way to extending itself to a universe of forms, and its practical application in our lives:     The Evolutionary Process (the ascent from energy to matter to life to mind to spirit) (back)   to be further parsed The Triple Compulsion of Evolution --Material science explains evolution superficially. Rather we can identify three general movements that compel progress of forms, including us, in the universe. (Roy Posners The Process of Creation, Involution, and Evolution -- Through the process of creation -- i.e. vision, organization, and execution -- all life progresses. If the change is truly significant, -- i.e. there is a dramatic change in consciousness, bringing about a movement to an entirely new level or plane of existence -- then there is also evolution. And yet the seeds of our evolution and change, including all the planes above it, are already there involved, hidden in our being in potential, waiting to come out. (Roy Posner) From Material View of Science to Involution/Evolution of the Infinite -- Scientists ever-increasingly stand agape as they see their material, mechanistic views of existence ironically torn down through their own scientific investigations. When they come to see that all other planes -- back to cosmic Mind and Spirit -- were/are there before creation, and that life, mind, and spirit are buried in matter waiting to come out, they will begin to perceive the right relation of things, including the ultimate meaning and purpose of life in the cosmos. (Roy Posner) The Nature of the Universe - The oneness, equilibrium, rebalancing, interconnectedness, energies, methods of effectivity and attraction, expression of the Reality of the universe. (Roy Posner) Darwin's 'Variation' in Terms of Consciousness -- Through cosmic insights into the nature of Reality, Sri Aurobindo has seized on the same conclusion as Darwin. Variation -- whether understood in terms of outer functioning of species as in the case of Darwin, or through Divine purpose and intention through human choice, functioning, and discovery as described by Sri Aurobindo -- is a principle of life both embraced. (Roy Posner) God, Brahman, the Reality is Evolving  -- Normally we consider God as something distant and apart from ourselves. Rarely do we think of the Divine as immanent in the world, let alone evolving in the universe. ... (Roy Posner) The Involutionary and Evolutionary Process -- It is relatively easy for us to perceive that Evolution is taking place in the universe -- i.e. there has been and continues to be a movement from matter to animated life to mentality in conscious beings, and upward to ever higher consciousness. It is less obvious however to perceive the Involution of existence that has taken shape from an Infinite consciousness that has culminated in material existence in the universe. (Roy Posner) The Divine's Power of Creation that is Available to Us -- As forms of the body of the Divine, we have that same infinite capacity to create in our own lives as that of the Infinite Reality. We too have the ability to envision something unprecedented in our future and follow a process so that it manifests just as we intended. Just as the universe emerged from the Real Ideas of an Infinite consciousness, so too our heart's desire can be realized through an conception and idea originating in our minds. (Roy Posner) Creation for the Creator, the Individual, Society, and an Organization -- There is essentially one process of growth, accomplishment, and creation in the cosmos. It begins with a vision and aspiration, continues with a decision, and unfolds through organization and action, culminating in a result. This process occurs for the divine Spirit, for the individual human, for society, and for a business or organization.  (Roy Posner) Ascent and Integration in the Evolutionary Process -- Progress is a never-ending possibility. It comes about through vision, energy, capacity, and organization. But the process of progress -- and its two more powerful siblings, evolution and transformation -- take place through a double movement; of ascendance into the new, and a descending movement that brings about its full integration into life. (Roy Posner) Aligning Ourselves with the Cosmic Intention -- At various point, we can pause to consider where we are going, and ask ourselves this question: Are we doing what the universe seems to be indicating for us, or are we caught up in selfish motives and desires. If we know what that Higher Purpose is, then we are well on our way to becoming an instruments of Its cosmic Intent, while living an unprecedented, marvelous, spirit-oriented practical existence. (Roy Posner)   To be parsed Converging Views of Science and Spirit -- In recent years, the scientists and spiritual evolutionists are coming to a common understanding of the nature of Matter in the universe. The inevitable realization of scientific inquiry is that the the basis of all material existence is Spiritual, while the inevitable result of spiritual experience is that Spirit reaches its full flowering and apex when it is expressed through the details of material life.  (Human Science) Spirit Impressions -- In this essay we are attempting to convey the essence of what spirit is, in its myriad of forms, meanings and shadings, through a somewhat impressionistic style.  (Roy Posner)   The Plane of Energy (back) Form and Energy -- Describes how energy is related to forms in life, why forms dissolve, what we can do to uphold the energy of the form, and the role of energy in accomplishment. (Roy Posner) Energy in the Process of Creation  -- The energy conversion process can thus be summarized as:  Force of energy through Direction > Power of energy through Organization (of the details) > Action that converts energy into something real in the world, as a living Manifestation of it. (Roy Posner)     Oneness of Existence (back) The Nature of the Universe - The oneness, equilibrium, rebalancing, interconnectedness, energies, methods of effectivity and attraction, expression of the Reality, and our role and purpose in and of the universe.  (Roy Posner) Interconnectedness of All -- If we look deep enough, we will notice that everything in the physical world is interconnected. When we move to Spirit, we increasingly observe the Oneness that permeates the universe; that exists between ourselves and cosmos; and between ourselves and every other being. Perceiving life this way, we experience Reality from a very different perspective, enabling us to transition from ordinary life to one of profound Wonder and Delight. (Roy Posner)     The Spiritual Evolution of Humanity (back) Click here to see entries     Divine Life on Earth (back) Divine Life on Earth -- Sri Aurobindo, the Indian sage and seer, said that humans may not be the final rung on the evolutionary scale. That we might witness the emergence of a new humanity, a new species; one that is above and beyond the present human race as we know it. This will be a harbinger of a new, divine life on earth. (Roy Posner) Sri Aurobindo's 'The Life Divine': The Ultimate Adventure of Consciousness & Joy -- There are the definitive works that mark a profound new understanding in the world, ushering in a new age of humanity, in which a new synthesis is developed, embracing and then going beyond all previous knowledge and understanding. Such a work is Sri Aurobindo's epic metaphysical tome on the meaning and development of life in the cosmos, 'The Life Divine.' (Roy Posner)   Sri Aurobindo, The Mother (back)   Their Lives Intro to Sri Aurobindo and The Mother -- Sri Aurobindo is the sage and seer who, along with his partner The Mother, dedicated their lives to bringing about the next stage of evolution of life on earth.
