Notes
"The former are more essentially practical, realistic, mundane, capable and secular people, living more in the here-and-now world; i.e., what I have called the D-realm for short, the world i.e., of deficiency-needs and of deficiency-cognitions. In this Weltanschauung, people or things are taken essentially in a practical, concrete, here-now, pragmatic way, as deficiency need suppliers or frustrators as useful or useless, helpful; i.e., or dangerous, personally important or unimportant."
- Characteristics: The D-Realm is marked by anxiety, insecurity, and a focus on external validation and security. People in the D-Realm often exhibit behaviors driven by the need for acceptance, physical security, or affirmation of worth.
- Effects: Living within the D-Realm limits potential and can lead to Deficiency Disease, with symptoms of diminished well-being and restricted personal growth.
- Path to B-Realm: Maslow suggested that as individuals meet their deficiency needs, they can shift from D-Realm motivations to B-Realm motivations, where self-actualization (read Alignment, creativity, and Connection become more central to their experience.
In the Lightning Path framework, understanding and addressing D-Realm motivations is key for moving towards alignment, healing, and connection. The D-Realm highlights the importance of satisfying essential needs for true human development and potential.
LP Context
