The Ten Human Living System Principles are directly useful for guiding persons and organizations in the practice of Living System Life and Work. I have learned that in practice. However, there are reqirements to be met before these Principles can be understood, become useful and can lead to superior performance.

They cannot just be added on top of conventional ideas and practices - The conventional must be set aside, thanked for its previous service, and then abandoned - That is the price for implementing the New Pattern for Success. The New is embraced and the Old is set aside.

First, you require a new Mindset to understand and use these Principles. Then, Second, you need a new Approach to Human Living Systems founded on the Human Psyche rather than on non-human living system sciences like biology, ecology or modern physical theory. And Third, you need to realize that Human Living System Science is a dramatic discontinuity from conventional science.

I repeat below the Ten Principles of Human Living System Science for your reference before I proceed to discuss the three pre-requirements for understanding and using the Principles. If you have not read the Previous Post in this series you may want to read it now.

- Inherent Bi-Polarity
- Underlying Morphic Fields
- Function in Cyclical Waves
- Organize as Nested Systems in Nodal Networks
- Open Systems with dynamic Interactions
- Embedded in Enabling and Nurturing Environments
- Never at Equilibrium - Unless Dead
- Optimal Sizes for Sub-Systems
- System Analysis by Underlying Wave Patterns
- Power Law Statistical Distributions - The Long Tail

Now the pre-conditions for their understanding and use. You need to satisfy them if you are to be able to transcend the conventional paterns of living and working that surround us.

Let's deal with the third requirement first - Realizing Human Living System Science is a dramatic, qualitative discontinuity. Holding on to conventional ideas about what is "scientific" and true will retard your progress.

The knowledge I present in this series of posts is inconsistent with much of what is understood to be valid "Science" today. Please review the Purpose of this Blog. Human Living System Science cannot be "added-on" to current ideas and practices of existing science to develop the next step in scientific understanding. It is not simply a next step - It is a discontinuous leap away from what generally exists. This may be somewhat confusing at first - But it is confusing only if you try to understand it in terms of conventional scientific ideas. Sorry - That is just the way it is with Human Psyche Stage Transformations - They are leaps from one psychological reality to another.

The second requirement is to approach Living System Science from the viewpoint of the Human Psyche - The energy field that comprises all of the processes of the human conscious and unconscious. It is the most fundamental Living System underlying all human affairs.

The Human Psyche It is NOT the Brain. It is a non-physical energy field system. It is the Underlying Source for human life and work - It is the "Morphic" Field for our motivations, thoughts, intuitions, feelings and behavior. The Brain is a marvelous bio-material system through which we as humans can be aware of portions of our Psyche, depending our evolutionary stage, during our physical life on Earth. The Brain is also a living system, but secondary to the Psyche. The Psyche and the Brain serve us as what we will call a Bi-Polar pair of systems at the core of our life.

The first requirement is to develop a new Mindset so we can experience reality in a new way - To become enabled to perceive and then understand the Living System Pattern of human life and work that is now the emerging pattern for superior performance.

My purposes in the series of Blog posts are four:
1) To better understand Human Living Systems and their science, that can be called the Science of the Underlying Plane;
2) To begin understanding the Principles for making Living System applications yourself;
3) To begin learning how some leading-edge persons and organizations are making partial applications of Living System Science concepts and practices in their life and work with dramatic positive results; and therefore
4) To begin practicing the New Patterrn for Success in ways of leadership, organization and operations your conventional competitors cannot even understand, much less try to imitate.

In the next Post I introduce you further to the fundamental transformation in life and work you are enbarking on. This should better prepare you for grasping the specific Human Living System Principles.

I look forward to your Comments, Questions Suggestions.
