Talk:Needs

Energetic Perspective of Needs

Here's an approach of needs seen through the lens of energies. Needs are generated by the chakras. Each chakra is programmed to function. In case one or more chakras do not function properly, then the body generates needs in order to create an incentive towards fulfilment of the reason of existence of the specific chakra. Needs are generated due to a pull following the lack of energies.

Imagine a room with an infinite amount of gas and another room which is capable of capturing that gas - your physical unit. The chakras are a portal through which these energies (gas) flow into your room (PU). You may imagine the chakra as a semipermeable membrane which allows energy to flow from the room with infinite energy into the room which is your PU. If the pressure in the PU is very low, due to the lack of gas, naturally, this void creates a pull of the gas towards the PU. Needs are the requirements meeting the condition of healthy energetic usage.

In this metaphor, needs are the pull.

The specific chakra takes this energy, shapes it according to its function (into its specific form) and pushes it into our reality. This energy is further shaped by the structure of the PU (conditioning), finally manifesting into the world. In case the needs are fulfiled, this means the conditions are met for a healthy functioning of the chakra.

Notes

This explanation associates needs with purpose.

Every need is generated by the purpose of the specific chakra. Likewise, more general needs might be distinguished and also associated with the purpose.

For instance, the Need for Allignment is a need generated by the purpose of the PU to be a responsive and expressive conduit/vehicle/manifestation device for spirit.

Generally, we could (and should) shape our society according to our needs. Associating needs with purpose provides a "justification"/explanation to do so.

We could, for instance, take this idea, and create economic systems that meet these goals, social forms that meet these goals, educational and pedagogic practices that meet these goals etc.

Utopia now, one of the mottos of the LP, is not far fetched if we agree on our needs and aim to create a (global) society which is designed to meet these needs.

Yes makes sense. A nice revision of Maslow's hierarchy! We need a graphic here MichaelSharp (talk) 17:45, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
