==Notes==

Swami Vivekananda speaks of the critical importance of meeting people's needs. Though he did not use that name, intimations of a hierarchy of needs was first proposed by Swami Vivekananda in "The Secret Work" in his book Karma Yoga. <ref>Vivekananda, Swami. "The Secret of Work." Collected Works of Swami Vivekananda. Vol. 5. 9 vols. Advaita Ashrama, 2016. https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/SWAMI-VIVEKANANDA-COMPLETE-WORKS-Vol-1.pdf</ref>

Essential needs are equivalent to "basic needs" in that they represent "an energizing state that, if satisfied, conduces toward health and well-being but, if not satisfied, contributes to pathology and ill-being." <ref>Ryan, R. M., and E. L. Deci. “Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation, Social Development, and Well-Being.” American Psychologist, 2000. p. 74.</ref>

The Seven Essential Needs are broken down into to general categories, basic needs and spiritual/higher/advanced needs.

The '''Seven Essential Needs''' are:

===The Basic Needs===
Basic needs are met, obviously, by providing the necessary environmental conditions, nutrients, and "nutriments," <ref>Ryan, Richard M., and Edward L. Deci. “The Darker and Brighter Sides of Human Existence: Basic Psychological Needs as a Unifying Concept.” ''Psychological Inquiry'' 11, no. 4 (October 1, 2000): 319–38. https://doi.org/10.1207/S15327965PLI1104_03</ref></ref> like autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Environments which provide for these create conditions conducive to the satisfaction of basic needs while environments that lack these, or that undermine there provision, create environments hostile to basic needs satisfaction. Environments here include those at the familial, social, community, national, and international level. Factors in the environment that impact would include quality of relationships, social organization (whether it is hierarchical or egalitarian, supportive or coercive), norms and values, economic practices, and so on.

====Physiological Needs====

We all have needs for food, water, air, clothing, exercise, sleep, freedom from pain. <ref>"But poverty, though it does not prevent the generation, is extremely unfavourable to the rearing of children. The tender plant is produced, but in so cold a soil and so severe a climate, soon withers and dies. "
Smith, Adam. The Wealth of Nations - An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. Bantam Classics, 2003.</ref>

====Emotional Needs====

We all have needs for unconditional support, acceptance, and inclusion. We all need to feel we are wanted and connected to something. We all need to feel that we belong.

These needs are met by parents, number one, by teachers and peer groups, number two.

When unmet, the need for love, positive regard, and attention can become desperation. Individuals with unmet emotional needs can "go through life craving and seeking satisfaction" of these needs."<ref>Grof, Stanislav. ''When the Impossible Happens.'' Boulder, CO: Sounds True, 2006.</ref> This craving, which is often completely unconscious, can be exploited by disreputable or mentally ill actors. See for example Layton who cites Jim Jones attention and manipulative praise as psychological reasons for her toxic attachment to the Jonestown cult. <ref>Layton, Deborah. Seductive Poison. New York: Anchor Books, 2010. https://amzn.to/2wxOse4.</ref>

====Cognitive Needs====

We all have a biological drive to know and understand the world.<ref> "the most important characteristics of psychological health was simply the ability to perceive clearly-that is, to see the truth, to penetrate falsehood, phoniness, hypocrisy, and so on." Maslow, Abraham. “Eupsychia—The Good Society.” Journal of Humanistic Psychology 1, no. 2 (1961): p. 3.</ref> <ref>Habermas's provides a similar conception for cognitive needs in [[Cognitive Interests]] Scott, John P. “Critical Social Theory: An Introduction and Critique.” The British Journal of Sociology 29, no. 1 (1978): 1. <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.2307/589216</nowiki>. p. 2</ref>The need to be in touch with reality. This truth is self-evident and expressed at a very early age. “Mommy, why is the sky blue?” “Daddy, why are you angry all the time?”

====Psychological Needs====

Esteem power needs would be related to Habermas's "emancipatory interests." "At a more abstract level, the emancipatory interest involves liberating men from historically contingent constraints through a process of 'self reflection'." <ref>Scott, John P. “Critical Social Theory: An Introduction and Critique.” The British Journal of Sociology 29, no. 1 (1978): 1. https://doi.org/10.2307/589216. p. 2</ref>

<ref>Thanks to Egle for pointing out the centrality of freedom and its relevance as an essential need. Note also that Abraham Maslow related power to self-esteem and self-respect in Maslow, Abraham. “Eupsychia—The Good Society.” Journal of Humanistic Psychology 1, no. 2 (1961): 1. p. 2.</ref> -- Psychological needs include the need for autonomy, the need to feel efficacious, competent, and powerful,<ref>Edward L Deci and Richard M Ryan, ''Intrinsic Motivation and Self-Determination in Human Behaviour'' (New York: Springer Science, 1985).</ref> to have high self-esteem, to successfully manifest and create the world we want. Psychological research has long demonstrated the importance to psychological health of feelings of efficacy and competence.<ref>A Bandura, “Human Agency in Social-Cognition Theory,” ''American Psychologist'' 44 (1989): 1175–84</ref><ref>A. H. Maslow, ''Towards a Psychology of Being (2nd Edition)'' (New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1968)</ref><ref>Carl Rogers, ''Freedom to Learn'' (Columbus, Ohio: Merrill, 1969)</ref><ref>C. Rogers, ''A Way of Being.'' (Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin, 1980); R White, ''Ego and Reality in Psychoanalytic Theory'', vol. Psychological Issues Series, Monograph No. 11. (New York: International Universities Press, 1963).</ref> More recently, these needs are discussed under the rubric of self-determination theory.<ref>R. M. Ryan and E. L. Deci, “Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation, Social Development, and Well-Being,” ''American Psychologist'', 2000</ref>

Ryan and Deci note that “The Fullest representations of humanity show people to be curious, vital, and self-motivated. At their best, they are agentic and inspired, striving to learn; extend themselves; master new skills; and apply their talents responsibly. That most people show considerable effort, agency, and commitment in their lives appears, in fact, to be more normative than exceptional, suggesting some very positive and persistent features of human nature.”<ref>R. M. Ryan and E. L. Deci, “Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation, Social Development, and Well-Being,” ''American Psychologist'', 2000. p. 68.</ref> In other words, left to their own devices, people are naturally motivated to develop skills and mastery, to strive for autonomy and competence. This drive is part of an individual’s “inherent growth tendencies and innate psychological needs.” “Satisfaction of these needs has been linked to well-being,<ref>Sheldon, K. M., Ryan, R., & Reis, H. T. (1996, January 1). What Makes for a Good Day? Competence and Autonomy in the Day and in the Person. ''PERSONALITY AND SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY BULLETIN'', ''22''(12), 1270–1279. British Library Document Supply Centre Inside Serials & Conference Proceedings</ref> competence, vitality,<ref>Sheldon, K. M., Ryan, R., & Reis, H. T. (1996, January 1). What Makes for a Good Day? Competence and Autonomy in the Day and in the Person. ''PERSONALITY AND SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY BULLETIN'', ''22''(12), 1270–1279. British Library Document Supply Centre Inside Serials & Conference Proceedings</ref> and enhanced creativity. We all need to '''feel good''' about ourselves, to '''feel powerful''' and efficacious, to have high self esteem, to "have faith in ourselves,"<ref>Akhilananda, Swami. ''Hindu Psychology: Its Meaning in the West''. Routledge, 1948. p. 80</ref> to successfully manifest or will/[[Intent]] in creation, to create the world we want. Or, as Ryan and Deci point out, we need to feel competent and autonomous,<ref>Ryan, R. M., and E. L. Deci. “Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation, Social Development, and Well-Being.” American Psychologist, 2000.</ref> with autonomy being defined as "self-regulation and integration in acting"<ref>Ryan, Richard M, and Edward L Deci. ''Self-Determination Theory: Basic Psychological Needs in Motivation, Development, and Wellness''. New York: The Guilford Press, 2017. p. 402.</ref> We all have a need to express<ref>Expression is identified as an emotional need in Akhilananda, Swami. ''Hindu Psychology: Its Meaning in the West''. Routledge, 1948.</ref> and unfold. Aristotle, Carl Rogers, and others capture these needs with the concept [[Eudaimonia]] which is the expression of human excellence and virtue (read [[Alignment]]),the doing of what is worth doing.<ref>Ryan, Richard M, and Edward L Deci. Self-Determination Theory: Basic Psychological Needs in Motivation, Development, and Wellness. New York: The Guilford Press, 2017</ref>

====Environmental Needs====

The need for safe, secure, nurturing, and aesthetically pleasing environments. Safe home, safe spaces, secure finances, consistency, and stability. Safety includes the absence of assault of any kind, including physical assault (e.g., spanking), emotional assault, and psychological assault. Stability includes the emotional consistency of stable parental relationships. Financial stability includes resources sufficient to remove the anxieties and uncertainties of survival. The negative consequence of a failure to provide safe environments is long-term disability.

The consequences of a failure to provide safe environments is cumulative psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual damage. For example, [[Swami Vivekananda]] notes "The older we grow, the longer we are knocked about in the world, the more callous we become."<ref>Vivekananda, Swami. “Karma Yoga.” ''Collected Works of Swami Vivekananda''. Vol. 1. 9 vols. Advaita Ashrama, 2016. <nowiki>https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/SWAMI-VIVEKANANDA-COMPLETE-WORKS-Vol-1.pdf</nowiki></ref>

See the article "Toxic Socialization" <ref>Sosteric, Mike, and Gina Ratkovic. “Toxic Socialization,” 2016. <nowiki>https://www.academia.edu/25275338/Toxic_Socialization</nowiki></ref> which provides a run down of all the consequences that accrue as a consequence of violence, which is something that occurs in evironments that are not safe.

===The Spiritual/Higher Needs===

====Need for [[Alignment]] with [[Spiritual Ego====

in Humanistic psychology, self-actualization.<ref>The term self-actualization, originally coined by Kurt Goldstein, was picked up by Abraham Maslow. For Maslow, the need for self-actualization is the need to be creative, to express one’s essence and desire, and to do what one is “fitted for.” As he says, “A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately happy. What a man [sic] can be, he must be. This need we may call self-actualization” (Maslow, 1943, pp. 382). This is all true, but in LP psychology we would understand self-actualization as actualization/expression of [[Self]], with a capital "S".</ref> Presuming the existence of a “soul,” or a spark of Consciousness that exists independent of the physical body, we need to align our bodily ego, our body’s self or [[Bodily Ego]], with this higher level our Self, our [[Spiritual Ego]].
# Our biological programmed '''Need for [[Connection]] with family, Spirit, Highest Self''', place (land), the ancestors,<ref>Lucana, Sonia, and John Elfers. “Sacred Medicine: Indigenous Healing and Mental Health.” ''The Qualitative Report'' 25, no. 12 (December 1, 2020): 4482</ref> [[Pachamama]],<ref>Lucana, Sonia, and John Elfers. “Sacred Medicine: Indigenous Healing and Mental Health.” ''The Qualitative Report'' 25, no. 12 (December 1, 2020): 4482.</ref>and God.
#*It is not enough to actualize our highest self, we need to go beyond and actually make a strong connection with this inner Self.
#*This is a common desideratum of human spiritual systems. In Transpersonal Psychology, transcendence; in Christianity, Islamic, salvation; in Buddhism, enlightenment; etc.) In Transpersonal Psychology, this is known as transcendence; in Christianity and Islamic traditions, this is known as salvation, “Entering the Kingdom,” etc. in Buddhism and Easter traditions, enlightenment). In Sociology, this notion is expressed in a Christian form in Troelstech’s conception of mysticism as the “perfection of the spiritual life” and “unity with the divine” (Steeman, 1975). Evelyn Underhill points directly to this need when she says that we have an “innate tendency...towards complete harmony with the transcendental order, whatever the theological formula under which that order is understood” (Underhill, 2002). Jung referred to this as the experience of the numinosum (Jung, 1938, p. 6).
In Vedanta, this is the highest need, the most " outstanding urge in people is the search after the abiding spirit or God. There is an inherent desire in every man to experience the abiding spirit, and until he reaches that goal there is no hope for real peace of mind."<ref>Akhilananda, Swami. ''Hindu Psychology: Its Meaning in the West''. Routledge, 1948. p. 51-2.</ref>
Satisfaction of one's essential needs leads to wellbeing, physical, mental, and emotional health, creativity, and [[Eudaimonia]].<ref>Ryan, Richard M., and Edward L. Deci. “The Darker and Brighter Sides of Human Existence: Basic Psychological Needs as a Unifying Concept.” ''Psychological Inquiry'' 11, no. 4 (October 1, 2000): 319–38. <nowiki>https://doi.org/10.1207/S15327965PLI1104_03</nowiki></ref>

===Need for Connection with [[Spiritual Ego]]===

George Simmel speaks of " religiousness as an inner state or need of man..."<ref>Simmel, George. Essays on Religion. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1997. p. 3.</ref>

Underhill says "Broadly speaking, I understand it to be the expression of the ''innate tendency'' of the human spirit towards complete harmony with the transcendental order; whatever be the theological formula under which that order is understood."<ref>Underhill, Evelyn. Mysticism: A Study in the Nature and Development of Spiritual Consciousness. New York: Dover Publications, 2002. https://amzn.to/2C91xNY.</ref>

Einstein says... "There is a mystical drive in man to learn about his own existence...the dignity of man depends not on his membership in a church, but on his scrutinizing mind, his confidence in his intellect, his figuring things out for himself, and above all his respect for the laws of creation" (Hermanns, 1983: np)

Grof says "spiritual search [i.e., search for connection] appears to be an understandable and legitimate human activity." <ref>Grof, Stanislav. Technologies of the Sacred Part Two.” ''The International Journal of Humanities and Peace'' 15, no. 1 (1999): 93–96. p. 93.</ref> Further, "The deepest motivating force in the human psyche on all the levels of our development is the craving to return to the experience of our divinity"<ref>Grof, S. (1999). Technologies of the Sacred—Part Two. ''The International Journal of Humanities and Peace'', ''15''(1), 93–96. p.96 <nowiki>https://www.lightningpath.org/readings/Technologies_of_the_sacred_II.pdf</nowiki></ref>

The satisfaction of the seventh essential need - connection. "Only the experience of one's divinity in a non-ordinary state of consciousness can ever fulfill our deepest needs"<ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC. p. 67.</ref>

Grof also notes that "Full satisfaction comes ultimately from the experience of...our own divinity, not the pursuit of material goals of any scope or kind <ref>Laszlo, Ervin, Stanislav Grof, and Peter Russell. The Consciousness Revolution. Las Vegas: Elf Rock Productions, 1999. https://amzn.to/2TlOCmC. p. 8.</ref>.

"It is now becoming increasingly evident that a craving for transcendence and a need for inner development are basic and normal aspects of human nature." (alignment and connection) <ref>Grof, Christina, and Stanislav Grof. The Stormy Search for the Self: A Guide to Personal Growth Through Transformational Crises. Penguin, 1990. https://amzn.to/2UtkgP1. p. 31.</ref>

Huxley ([[PP]]) notes that Totalitarian regimes exploit humanity's need for "unity" (read Connection) by "by means of a philosophy of political monism, according to which the state is God on earth, unification under the heel of the divine state is salvation, and all means to such unification, however intrinsically wicked, are right and may be used without scruple."

St. Teresa of Avila notes speaks of a need for actualization and connection suggesting that is "quenches thirst." "Oh, my Lord, if only one could be plunged so deeply into this living water that one’s life would end! Can that be? Yes: 34 this love and desire for God35 can increase so much that human nature is unable to bear it, and so there have been persons who have died of it."<ref>St. Teresa of Avila. The Way of Perfection. New York: Dover Publications, 2012. https://amzn.to/2Id75es.</ref>

Sri Swami Sivananda notes that religion (I would say [[Authentic Religion]]) a "deep inward craving" (i.e., a need for connection)<ref>Sivananda, Sri Swami. ''All About Hinduism''. Uttar Predesh, Humalayas, India: Divine Life Trust, 1999. <nowiki>https://www.academia.edu/32682910</nowiki></ref>

==Propositions==

The spiritual ego is eternal.

The spiritual ego is independent of, and simultaneously the source of, all physical existence.

The spiritual ego is pure light.

The spiritual ego is always and everywhere loving, compassionate, expansive, powerful, pristine, and pure.

==Notes==

The spiritual ego is an [[Intensification of Consciousness]] /Awareness within [[The Fabric]] to the point where [[Ego]] emerges.

The spiritual ego is like the driver of an autonomous vehicle. The driver of the vehicle allows the Artificial Intelligence (AI) to steer the vehicle, but the driver, the spiritual ego or highest self, can take control of the vehicle from the bodily ego at any time.

Spiritual Ego is [[Ego]]. Ego is I + Eye + Will

Spiritual Ego emerges within [[The Fabric of Consciousness]] as a consequence of the [[Intensification of Consciousness]]. It is important to note that intensification to the point of egoic awareness does not entail any separation from the Fabric of Consciousness. A [[Spiritual Ego]] remains fundamentally embedded within the Fabric of Consciousness.<ref>{{template:bolightVI}} </ref> Nevertheless, a practical separation from the Fabric of Consciousness is attained at the point of intensification when a "boundary" between the "I" and the rest of the fabric is instantiated. As long as the boundary is maintained, the intensification may be classed a spiritual ego. Without the boundary, ego merges into the Fabric of Consciousness and identity is lost.

These ideas are expressed by [[Swami Vivekananda]]: "When we speak of man as no other than that infinite being which is manifesting itself, we mean that only one very small part thereof is man; this body and this mind Downloaded from www.holybooks.com: <nowiki>https://www.holybooks.com/complete-works-of-swami-vivekananda/</nowiki> which we see are only one part of the whole, only one spot of the infinite being. This whole universe is only one speck of the infinite being; and all our laws, our bondages, our joys and our sorrows, our happinesses and our expectations, are only within this small universe; all our progression and digression are within its small compass. " <ref>Vivekananda, Swami. “Karma Yoga.” ''Collected Works of Swami Vivekananda''. Vol. 1. 9 vols. Advaita Ashrama, 2016. <nowiki>https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content/uploads/SWAMI-VIVEKANANDA-COMPLETE-WORKS-Vol-1.pdf</nowiki></ref>

== Quotes ==
"I had begun to have what I called anxiety attacks--shots of driving energy that sometimes made it difficult to concentrate on daily tasks. I was consumed with a mixture of panic, fear, and anger. Yet at the same time I was aware of a gentle, deep connection with a new spirituality, an unfamiliar source inside me that was expansive, joyful, and peaceful."<ref>Grof, Christina, and Stanislav Grof. The Stormy Search for the Self: A Guide to Personal Growth Through Transformational Crises. TarcherPerigee, 1992. p. 12.</ref>

Shamans sense the structure of spiritual ego "The shaman’s idea of power is similar to our concept of energy, yet it includes more: energy as well as intelligence and self-confidence."<ref>Harner, Michael. Cave and Cosmos: Shamanic Encounters with Another Reality. Berkeley, California: North Atlantic Books, 2013.</ref>

Owing to the fact that humans are embedded in a historical context, and owing to the fact that each context has its own unique political, economic, social, and psychological parameters which provide a unique experience, "paths" (i.e. the teachings, concepts, and practices supportive of [[Connection]]) are always '''historically specific.''' An ancient path taught by even the most talented of [[Avatar|avatars]] is, arguably, ineffective and (often) counterproductive in the context of modern sensibilities and realities.
