What is Life? (back) What is Life? -- Describes how life came to be from an essential Energy whose origins are a divine Force; how the building up, maintaining, and dissolution of energy-based material and non-material forms is the play of life; and several of life's hidden characteristics, including the principle of inner-outer correspondence which is the basis of life response. (Roy Posner) What is Life? -- Presented here is a definition and description of life in the universe, its character, and the principles and laws that guide it; and a number of other related articles (Human Science) Form and Energy -- How energy is the source of all forms in life, why forms dissolve, and what we can do to uphold the energy of the form for its maintenance. Also discussed is the role of energy in accomplishment. (Roy Posner) What is the Purpose of Life? -- In this interview, Roy Posner attempts to brings us a fresh, new perspective on what our purpose in life is; as individuals, as a species. (Roy Posner)   The Character of Life (back) The Character of Life -- Like an individual, life itself has a character. If we learn the hidden workings of life, we can become life's master, enabling infinite growth, accomplishment, and success. (Roy Posner) Biological, Social, and Spiritual Evolution and the Character of Life -- Man stands at the interface of Biological, the Social, and the Spiritual. Each moment is like that for us; as is every event. The Character of Life is determined by the conditions of these three aspects, and their confluence and interaction. (Roy Posner) The Character of Life in 'Seabiscuit'  -- Like the individual, life too can be said to have a character of its own. Life's character can be described by the way events unfold, as well as by the factors that determine such outcomes. The character is governed by subtle laws and principles, which we can observe if we closely examine the unfoldings of life. In Seabiscuit, we can see a number of these laws in action, which can give us the most profound of insights into the nature of life. (Roy Posner for Human Science) The Character of Life in Film ''House of Eliott'' -- Life has a character. Every great civilization has discovered behind the sum total of events that we call 'Life' universal laws that are at work determining and altering the course of events in unexpected ways. The collective wisdom of humanity has acquired deep insight into the nature of Life's character and its interaction with the nature of human beings. This area of the House of Eliott site reveals insights into the character of life. (Roy Posner for Human Science) The Hidden Patterns of Life -- There are subtle patterns of life that go unnoticed, and which defy our normal perceptions of logic, cause and effect, and space and time. Understanding these hidden patterns not only enables us to see the world in a different way, not only gives us the insight to perceive the truths that are unfolding in the atmosphere around us. but gives us one leg up in life so that we can make the right decisions that invariably will lead to infinitely successful outcomes. (Roy Posner) The Power of Knowing the Hidden Ways of Life -- The focus here is on the mysterious ways that life works, focusing on the phenomenon of life response (sudden good fortune) with several illustrations. (Roy Posner) Impressions of the film 'Avatar' -- In terms of energy and form, cooperation and oneness of society, seeing beyond simple good and evil, life response (sudden good fortune), and other hidden aspects of the character of life. (Roy Posner) Contradictions are Complements (back) Beyond Division and Contradiction to Higher Resolutions in Life -- On the surface of life we see is endless conflict, strife, and suffering. However, when we move to a deeper consciousness, we see that these forces that are divided from one another actually share a deeper purpose that binds them in oneness. (Roy Posner) Contradictions are Complements -- In the lower consciousness, we see division and conflict everywhere. It is life seen as contradictions. Pleasure and pain, good and bad; positive and negative; my right vs. yours; spirit and matter; and so on forever. In the higher consciousness, theses dual pairs are seen not as contradictions, but complements. (Roy Posner) Methods of Overcoming Our Contradiction with Others -- We can become clearly aware of our contradictions and conflicts with others, perceive that it is for our own growth, and resolve it by acknowledging the truth of others complaints about you, while perceiving that every negative you perceive in another, you actually manifest in some form in yourself, which you can overcome. (Roy Posner) Developing Complementarity in Intensifying Relationships -- Intensities of contradiction afford perfect opportunities for their resolution. From our side we can find the wanting correspondence, and make the change. Nature, Soul, and Human Progress -- Life divided into two aspects -- Nature and Soul.  Nature is Life's slow and difficult way, and is the normal way humans experience the world. Soul (or spirit) is Life's method of progress through higher consciousness  -- producing only positive effects without any negative. (Roy Posner) Contradictions Between Dual Pairs Enables Further Progress -- Life evolves or can evolve through the contradictions of two parties, whether spouse or family members, associates, organizations, nations, etc. (Roy Posner) s -- Life evolves through the contradiction of dual pairs and their resolution. Life requires these conflicting pairs to enable the further progress of each side. Without the conflict between the parties, life remains static, or even falls back. Our goal when we are immersed in these contradictions is to find the higher harmony that resolves them, that will enable the next higher level of progress. (Roy Posner) Extraordinary Phenomena in Life -- In this interview, Roy Posner discusses a number of extraordinary phenomena that normally go unnoticed in life, including contradictions are complements. If we learn to access their powers, we can live lives of never ending, ever-accelerating accomplishment, success, and delight. (Roy Posner) Contradictions are Complements in Film 'House of Eliott'  (Roy Posner for Human Science)   Beyond Positive and Negative (back) Greater Intensity of the Positive through Its Opposite -- Negative experiences can usher in the greatest of positives in one's life. (Roy Posner) The Greater the Opposition, the Greater the Opportunity, Progress -- The greater the opposition we encounter in life, the greater the opportunity for us to rise and progress. We can observe this law in real life or in the world of literature and film. (Roy Posner) Seeing the Marvel of Existence - Presented here are examples in literature and life of how the negative and evil serve individual human progress and evolution as much as the positive and good. (Roy Posner) Negative Events Forge the Unity of Nations -- The negatives that occur are actually positives in disguise, as they are often the single instrument of great progress for the individual or collective, often exceeding the benefit that comes from a particular good. The Current Financial Crisis and World Unity (Roy Posner) Human Unity and the Global Financial Crisis (Roy Posner) Reason for Physical and Psychological Suffering in Creation -- (Roy Posner) Life Progresses through Negative as Well in Film 'Seabiscuit'  (Roy Posner for Human Science) Negatives as Positive in Disguise in Film 'House of Eliott'  (Roy Posner for Human Science) There's No Success Like Failure -- We profit as much from failure as success. It can even be the key to our next level of accomplishment in life. (Roy Posner) Challenges Become Opportunities in Film 'House of Eliott'  (Roy Posner for Human Science) Three Life Principles that Demonstrate How the Darkness Serves the Light -- Here are discussed three subtle and profound inner laws of life. How our weaknesses are the source of our greatest strength; that the negatives that occur in our lives are actually positives in disguise; that conflicting and contradictory parties are actually complements when viewed from a higher consciousness. (Roy Posner) The Utility of Evil as Expressed in Mythology and Reality -- Evil can bean even greater power for bringing about the true Good than the actions of the ordinary good, i.e. the good side that we perceive and appreciate in life, as it speeds up and intensifies further progress of the world, enabling the truer Good to further emerge in all its integrality and fullness. (Roy Posner) The Divine Sanctions Progress through Darkness or Light -- The Divine sanctions those methods that bring the greatest progress in the shortest period of time. Whether that progress comes through Ignorance, Falsehood, or Evil, the Divine endorses that method. (Roy Posner) 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) Accepting All and Every Thing -- We normally like to do only what is pleasing. However, if we accept every detail that life presents us, pleasurable or not, and do what is necessary, life quickly brings us exactly what we were after. (Roy Posner)   Embracing the All (back) Accepting All and Every Thing -- We normally like to do only what is pleasing. However, if we accept every detail that life presents us, pleasurable or not, and do what is necessary, life quickly brings us exactly what we were after. (Roy Posner) Seeing the Marvel of Existence - Presented here are examples in literature and life of how the negative and evil serve individual human progress and evolution as much as the positive and good. (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) 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)    Oneness of Life (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 Infinite Power of Harmony -- How higher harmony in society, history, and for the individual enables evolution and vast power for accomplishment. How to evoke greater harmony in our own lives through higher consciousness. (Roy Posner)     Nature's Efficiency (back) Nature Works On Many Fronts Simultaneously 1 -- When a life event unfolds, many parties are affected in different ways, enabling progress for each through a singularity. This is Nature's efficient method. (Roy Posner) Nature Works on Many Fronts Simultaneously 2 -- Nature seeks to accomplish several things -- even matters that seem to contradict one another -- through one central circumstance. (Roy Posner)       The Nature of Acts (back) Overview The Hidden Patterns of Life -- There are subtle patterns of life that go unnoticed, and which defy our normal perceptions of logic, cause and effect, and space and time. Understanding these hidden patterns not only enables us to see the world in a different way, not only gives us the insight to perceive the truths that are unfolding in the atmosphere around us. but gives us one leg up in life so that we can make the right decisions that invariably will lead to infinitely successful outcomes. (Roy Posner) Principles of Acts in Film 'House of Eliott'  (Roy Posner for Human Science) Subtle Principles of Life -- Includes a description of inner-outer correspondence, predecessor events, and many otehr startling and subtle principles of life. (Roy Posner)   Acts Repeat; Can Reverse Preventing Life from Repeating Negatively -- We can learn to identify when life is repeating negatively for us, understand its underlying cause, and commit to changing it. Powerful positive conditions will reveal themselves. If we also offer to the matter to the spiritual Force, an astonishing set of outcomes, even life changing, can follow. (Roy Posner) Overcoming Repetition through the Power of the Spiritual Force -- Life has a tendency to repeat. And yet such repetitions, particularly those of a negative kind, will cease when Man understands at a higher level; i.e. when he perceives something new that he did not know before. Interestingly, we can also offer the situation to the spiritual Force, which will overcome the inertia to repeat, while attracting other powerful conditions. (Roy Posner) Acts Repeat (Pride and Prejudice) -- Each act is the expression of a force that tends to repeat itself. The greater the intensity of the force and more the time it repeats, the greater is its capacity for further repetition. The quality and intensity of the force is expressed in each subsequent repetition of the act. We see this in the story. (Human Science) Acts Reverse (Pride and Prejudice) -- As each act is a force, it has a tendency to repeat. However, when the force of the act is insufficient for repetition or meets an obstacle that prevents it from accomplishing in a particular direction, the energy of the act may reverse course and express in a direction opposite to the original act. We see this in the story. (Human Science)   Acts Have Consequences Opposite to their Intent Acts have consequences opposite to the intention (Pride and Prejudice)  (Human Science)   Predecessor Events; Start Indicates Final Outcome The Button and the Battery -- Everything that comes or happens to us is indicated by something, some event beforehand. We can make use of that awareness, and take right action in circumstance, avoiding problems and disasters. (Roy Posner) Predecessor Events to a River Adventure -- Every occurrence in life -- large or small, good or bad -- is always preceded by circumstances that point to it. Read about a startlingm real life example. (Roy Posner) IPhone Incident, Predecessors, & Consecrated Action Life Indicates the Future (in 'Pride and Prejudice') -- No event occurs without prior indications of what is to come. This principle is true both positively and negatively. Life gives as early hints of good fortune that is coming later and warnings of pending misfortune, which we ignore at our risk. We see this in Jane Austin's 'Pride and Prejudice.' (Human Science) Signs & Indications: Foreknowledge (in 'Pride and Prejudice') -- The outcome of a chain of events is indicated at the very beginning, though the meaning of that indication may not be evident. We see this in the story. (Human Science) What Happens at the Start Indicates the Outcome  -- Every outcome of an event, circumstance, undertaking, social movement, etc. is indicated at the very beginning. It occurs positively and negatively. (Roy Posner) Predecessor Events Indicate Outcome in Famous Moment in History -- Every major event, including every negative outcome you have experienced was preceded by a predecessor incident in the beginning. We see that here in a famous moment in history. (Roy Posner) Predecessor Events in Film 'Seabiscuit'  (Roy Posner for Human Science)   Parallel, Simultaneous, Synchronous Events Simultaneity of Events -- Acts and events that occur at the same time are related at the level of life, no matter how unconnected they appear to be on the surface. E.g. a man received an email from a friend at the same time that an order came in from a client. These were the only two emails he received at that time. It turns out that the client's organization had the same ethical and spiritual interests as the friend's. These are simultaneous, synchronous events. (Roy Posner) Perceiving Parallel Events -- With a little curiosity and effort we can see the subtle relationships between circumstance that at first glance seems unrelated. This indicates the profound oneness that exists in the universe, if only we make the effort to see it. (Roy Posner) Parallel Events in the World -- If we look closely, we will see subtle relationships between events in the world. Though superficially they seem unrelated on deeper examination we will see their subtle association.  (Roy Posner) Simultaneity (Pride and Prejudice) -- Acts and events that occur at the same time are related at the level of life, no matter how unconnected they appear on the surface. We see this often in works of literature like Pride and Prejudice, as well as in life. (Human Science) The Cause of Startling, Unexpected Meetings  -- Explains the the cause of startling, unexpected meetings , including the fact that When one focuses on something, life tends to brings more of it toward you; that an alignment in consciousness brings parties together in space and time; that the the subconscious will compels outer action for the purpose of enabling progress; and that thoughts circulate, and the ones we have may not be our own. The Great Linkup -- A powerful example of how our subconscious can lead us to take actions in ways that can change our lives forever.  (Roy Posner)  New!   Social Forces and Power of Subconscious Will Life Takes Unilateral Action (Pride and Prejudice) -- When the social forces are pressing in a particular direction or the subconscious force of individual aspirations is well formed, life brings about circumstances and events that appear to the superficial view as remarkable coincidences, luck or chance events. We see this in the story. (Human Science)   Opposition When One Rises Opposition when One Rises in Film 'House of Eliott'  (Roy Posner for Human Science)   Opposition When A New Positive Force Rises Opposition When A New Positive Force Rises -- We see a fascinating phenomenon of life that reveals another aspect of its Character. It is this: When a new positive Force arises, an opposition force rises in parallel. (Roy Posner)   Life Moves at Different Speeds Timing (Pride and Prejudice) -- Life moves at different speeds. Some initiatives accomplish or evoke a response from life after a prolonged period. Others bring almost instantaneous results. What makes the difference? We can see clues in the story. (Human Science)   The Small Opens to the Infinite How the Small Opens the Portals of the Infinite -- In every situation in life, every element that presents itself serves a purpose. Thus, the smallest thing -- even that which seems negative and opposed to our intent -- can me a means for its final resolution. In that way, we cannot deny or be irritated by anything -- for the smallest of the small can provide an opening to the infinite. (Roy Posner)   A Conscious Act The Wonder of a Conscious Act -- With four components realized in an undertaking -- vision, will, organization, and effort, -- that act releases powerful energies, which attract corresponding powerful, miraculous-like results from the field of life. (Roy Posner) Bringing a Higher Level of Consciousness to an Act -- At every moment, we are capable of bringing a new freshness to an act by raising our level of consciousness relative to it. That not only energizes the activity and ourselves, but evokes Luck from the environment. (Roy Posner)   A Complete Act Complete Act -- When you envision what you want, develop the intense desire and will for it to happen, and make the full persevering effort, life responds from all quarters.  (Human Science) The Complete Act in the Process of Creation -- Every day you are afforded the opportunity to create something perfect. When we follow the process of creation from vision to manifestation, we create such perfection -- and then some. This universal process can be seen in the largest of undertakings, as well as the smallest of acts.
