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]

+===Components===
-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 damaged by [[Toxic Socialization]] must [[Heal]] before it can consistently connect.<ref>Sosteric, Mike, and Ratkovic, Gina. Lightning Path Workbook One: Basic Concepts. Vol. 1. Lightning Path Workbook Series. St. Albert, Alberta: Lightning Path Press, 2016.</ref>

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

-===Healthy Development===
+[[Human Development]] > {{#ask:[[Is a related LP term::Human Development]]}}
-In order for a [[Physical Unit]] to grow up healthy and [[Connected]], all [[Seven Essential Needs]] must be sufficiently met. When these needs are met, an individual grows up with an integrated Bodily Ego and Spiritual Ego, capable of connecting to Spiritual Ego or other locations in [http://spiritwiki.lightningpath.org/index.php/The_Fabric The Fabric]. When all needs are met, the individual's sense of self is grounded and centred, their will is strong and sure, they are empowered to meet their own needs, express, and fulfil whatever purpose brought them into incarnation. In short, they enter into [[Growth Mode]].
+===Non-LP Related Terms===
-===Pathology===
+[[Human Development]] > {{#ask:[[Is a related term::Human Development]]}}
-When the Seven Essential Needs are not met for whatever reason, individuals experience emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual distortions and enter into [[Defense Mode]] and/or [[Deficit Mode]]. In these pathological modes of operation, the Seven Essential Needs are transformed by defense and deficit into the [[Seven Toxic Needs]].
