Values can be evaluated in terms of energy, force, power, skills, results, enjoyment, accomplishment, progress, time, space, matter, life, mind, spirit, the twelve aspects of the Spirit and every known aspect of life. Roy Posner

Roy Posner is the founder of Growth Online, a web site providing fresh, new insights into human evolution and transformation. Inspired by the life and teachings of the Indian sage and seer Sri Aurobindo, Roy embarked on a journey thirty years ago to understand the deepest truths of life. A good part of what he discovered along the way is presented at Growth Online.

Roy has had an eclectic mix of skills and interests. He has been a business entrepreneur and owner, a software developer and trainer, a music composer, a book author, and a philosopher of life. Many of thearticles he has penned for Growth Online were developed in collaboration with The Mother’s Service Society, a think tank founded by Sri Karmayogi located in Pondicherry India. MSS has done groundbreaking work in the areas of social development, economics, business management theory, education, literature, psychology, personal growth, and spirituality in life — extending the profound wisdom of Sri Aurobindo to each of these fields. Most of the content of Growth Online is built upon this intellectual and experiential foundation.

Values as the Highest Psychological Form for Accomplishment
We can see a continuum of psychological forms from data to values.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Data are mental facts derived from sense observation.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Information is data organized by the physical mind into meaningful relationships.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Thoughts are specific conclusions or observations drawn from the information.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Ideas are generalized conceptions derived from specific thoughts.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Opinions are thoughts which the mind endorses and the ego identifies as its own.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Beliefs are ideas which the mind endorses and the mental ego identifies with as true for its life.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Attitudes are opinions endorsed and energized by the vital ego.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Values are idealized conceptions that are endorsed by the personality.
In terms of accomplishment, thoughts are mental forms of energy which do not necessarily lead to action. Ideas carry the energy of mental understanding. Opinions carry the force of mental conviction. Attitudes carry the vital force of our emotional endorsement. Values carry the power of psychological commitment and determination. Values issue from a deeper or higher center of motivation in our personalities and therefore carry far greater power than our opinions and attitudes.
