			Interestingly, Maslow points directly to what I call [[Deficit Mode]].

This notion can even be phrased in the old religious way: “Howdoes one distinguish whether the inner voices are of God or the devil?” Theanswer is to see pragmatically what happens to the person in later time."

			==== Self-Revealing ====
			Eupsychian therapy must help reveal the inner self, its nature and quality. <blockquote>I have argued vigorously that effective counseling and psychotherapy are Taoistic and uncovering rather than involving mainly shaping, molding, or indoctrinating Of course, pure Taoism is impossible in principle. Yet effective counselors and therapists move far in this direction.They really respect the other person’s inner core and regard themselves asobstetricians, horticulturists, or midwives who simply help the person givebirth to himself or herself and help him or her grow, ''in his or her own style'',toward self-fulfillment.<ref>Maslow, A.

Sage Publications.</ref> </blockquote>Maslow makes the fascinating observation that "positive human traits" like self-respect, security, safety, being lovable, loving someone else..." are strengthened and confirmed by '''revelation''' (what he calls "uncovering and insight.") and that "negative human trains like cruelty, sadism, or masochism are destroyed by successful Taoistic, uncovering..."<ref name=":0">Maslow, A.

In the ''Farthest Reaches of Human Nature,'' Maslow speaks of the therapeutic importance of helping people recognize and recover "inner signals." On the [[LP]] we would say therapists have to help individuals meet their needs for both [[Alignment]] (with these "inner signals") and [[Connection]] to one's [[Real Self]] (in Maslow's terms).

People living in the being-realm where motivated by love and the desire to heal, help, and transform, and not by money. They were is living through what Maslow called "ultimate values."

			=== Consequences of Thwarted Needs ===
			For Maslow, thwarted needs led to mental illness. For example, in the following quote Maslow refers to thwarted needs for [[Alignment]] and [[Connection]] and how "recovering the self"<ref>On the [[LP]] , reconnecting with [[Spiritual Ego]]

			</ref> is an essential prerequisite of healthy personality, suggesting that "most neuroses" and "many other disturbances" are characterized by [[Disconnection]] and [[Disjuncture]] . <blockquote>Thinking in this way has had for me at least the one special advantage of directing my attention sharply to what I called at first "the impulse voices" but which had better be called more generally something like the "inner signals" (or cues or stimuli). I had not realized sufficiently that in most neuroses, and in many other disturbances as well, the inner signals become weak or even disappear entirely (as in the severely obsessional person) and/or are not "heard" or ''cannot'' be heard. At the extreme we have the experientially empty person, the zombie, the one with empty insides. Recovering the self ''must'', as a sine qua non, include the recovery of the ability to have and to recognize these inner signals, to know what and whom one likes and dislikes. what is enjoyable and what is not, when to eat and when not to, when to sleep, when to urinate, when to rest.

			The experientially empty person, lacking these directives from within, these voices of the ''real self'', must turn to outer cues for guidance, for instance eating when the clock tells him to. rather than obeying his appetite (he has none). He guides himself by clocks. rules, calendars. schedules. agenda. and by hints and cues from other people."<ref>Maslow, A. H.

Maslow was always very clear that satisfaction of [[Seven Essential Needs\|essential needs]] was the prequisite to human health, well being, and the full actuation of individual and collective (i.e., human) potential.<ref>Sosteric, M., & Ratkovic, G.
