In Maslow’s theory, D-Cognition or Deficiency Cognition is a mindset primarily focused on addressing unmet essential needs, such as those for safety, love, belonging, and esteem. When someone is operating in D-Cognition, their thoughts, emotions, and perceptions are centered on fulfilling these immediate, unmet needs. In this state, individuals often perceive the world narrowly, prioritizing needs-related concerns over growth, connection, and self-actualization.

Notes
- Characteristics: D-Cognition involves a heightened focus on self-preservation, security, and the satisfaction of unmet needs. This state can lead to feelings of tension, insecurity, and anxiety, driving behaviors that aim to “fill in the gaps” in basic areas of life.
- Perception: In D-Cognition, individuals may perceive others and situations primarily in terms of how they fulfill or threaten their own needs. This can lead to conditional relationships, a competitive mindset, and a limited view of potential experiences.
- Transition to B-Cognition: Once essential needs are adequately met, individuals can shift from D-Cognition to B-Cognition (Being Cognition), where they experience the world with openness, appreciation, and curiosity. B-Cognition is marked by a holistic view and a greater focus on creativity, connection, and self-actualization.
Within the Lightning Path Framework, recognizing D-Cognition is a vital step toward understanding the impact of unmet essential needs on perception and growth. Addressing these needs creates a pathway toward connection, creativity, and alignment and connection with the Spiritual Ego, ultimately supporting full potential and well-being.
