B-Realm
According to Abraham Maslow, the B-Realm or Being-Realm is the "higher, experiential realm"[1] where we relate to the world in its suchness, actually perceiving what is there.[2] Contrast this with the D-Realm where we related to reality in terms of how it might meet our unmet Essential Needs.

Notes
According to Abraham Maslow, those living in the B-Realm have all their basic needs satisfied.
In essence, they feel a sense of belonging, of being part of the human family and not outside of it. Their love and affective relationships are good. Deep down, they feel worthy of love and affection. They have friends and, if fortunate, someone to love intensely. Their self-esteem problems have been settled well enough so that they respect themselves. They are not drowned with inferiority feelings; they have a vital sense of self-worth....To talk statistically, I would estimate that such men and women constitute the psychologically healthiest 1% of the total adult population in the United States. In virtually all of these cases, these individuals have a clear sense of mission about their lives, that is, a meaningful vocation or calling. In a very real way, they are involved in work that they love; the word job simply doesn’t fit their lifestyle.[3]
Those in the B-Realm have a profound sense of mission and purpose. They have a "meaningful vocation calling.' Maslow did not feel these had to be deeply spiritual but could be "rather ordinary."For instance, one of my
subjects was a practicing psychiatrist and just loved the field of psychiatry. Another was a woman who simply adored being the “clan mother,” that is, making a full-time vocation out of having many children, becoming close with her nephews and nieces, and so on. Another was a lawyer who was utterly devoted to the legal field. So, you might say that the category of occupation or activity itself wasn’t at all the key variable: A person could be a self-actualizing lawyer or a real stinker of a lawyer."[4]
We would say that the "B-Realm" is achieved individually by meeting all Seven Essential Needs and by focusing on the Seven Components of Human Development. 54
