Human Development

Human Development is the process of growth and change that leads, ideally, to Human Flourishing and the Full Realization of Human Potential. It encompasses Seven Components, all of which contribute to individual and society's ability to flourish with fully realized Human Potential. It is achieved only through the full satisfaction of the Seven Essential Needs and thwarted via the Five Barriers to Human Flourishing.

Notes

Human Development is not automatic—it is shaped by education, environment, social structures, and personal effort. A fully realized process of Human Development requires Healing from Toxic Socialization, realignment with authentic selfhood, and access to the resources needed to meet one’s Seven Essential Needs.

The Pathfinder Educational Model (PEM) is explicitly designed to support and accelerate Human Development by providing structured, healing-centered, and empowerment-driven learning experiences that remove barriers to growth and facilitate individual and collective transformation.

Quotes

"All the evidence that we have (mostly clinical evidence, but already some other kinds of research evidence) indicates that it is reasonable to assume in practically every human being. and certainly in almost every newborn baby. that there is an active will toward health, an impulse toward growth, or toward the actualization of human potentialities. But at once we are confronted with the very saddening realization that so few people make it. Only a small proportion of the human population gets to the point of identity, or of selfhood, full humanness, self-actualization, etc., even in a society like ours which is relatively one of the most fortunate on the face of the earth. This is our great paradox. We have the impulse toward full development of humanness. Then why is it that it doesn't happen more often? What blocks it?"^[1]

-Health development and full [[Connection]] of the physical unit is  facilitated by a healthy [[Socialization]] process, while [[Dysfunction]] and [[Disconnection]] result from [[Toxic Socialization]]. A physical unit that has been damage by [[Toxic Socialization]] must [[Heal]] before it can consistently connect.<ref>Sosteric, Mike, and Ratkovic, Gina. Lightning Path Workbook One: Basic Concepts.

-A healthy socialization process is one where all [[Seven Essential Needs]] are consistently met. A toxic socialization process is one that, accidentaly or deliberately, undermines the functions of the physical unit, and its ability to connect.

-"Union between spiritual ego and bodily ego, connection, and expansion of Consciousness into the body, is the whole point of human development. Connection, union, and expansion of consciousness is the ultimate goal of human maturation. If you want to be healthy, whole, and satisfied, you need to “actualize your self” (i.e. become your spiritual ego) and you need to develop your connection."<ref>Sosteric, Mike, and Ratkovic, Gina.

-'''Stage One:''' There are two broad stages of development that the human [[Physical Unit]] goes through. '''Stage One,''' known as the [[Growth Stage]] occurs from birth to about age forty. It is characterized by focused drive oriented towards satisfaction of [[Needs]]. During this period extra energy is available to the physical unit so that it may accomplish its [[Developmental Tasks]].
+===Related LP Terms===
-'''Stage Two:''' Stage Two of the human development process is known as the [[Maintenance Stage]]. Stage two occurs from birth to death. At this stage available energy drops to maintenance levels as the physical unit, having successfully met all its [[Needs]], moves into full creative power. Maintenance Stage is a highly variable stage of growth that is extremely dependent on the quality of needs satisfaction during Stage One. Needs unmet at the onset of Stage Two will lead to "crises" points, regressions, developmental failures, senescence, and [[Death]].

-A fully developed physical unit has the following measurable characteristics. A fully developed physical unit:

- * is creative, productive, driven by passion, and oriented towards manifestation of [[Divine Will]].

- * has high [[Consciousness Quotient]] [CQ]
- * has an uncorrupted and unblocked [[Energy System]]
-=Proper Development=
-Proper and healthy development of the [[Physical Unit]] requires proper and health satisfaction of '''all''' human [[Needs]].
-Satisfaction of human needs occurs under conditions of [[Right Environment]], [[Right Action]], and [[Right Thought]]
