Notes
Human potential may be broken into Individual Potential and Species Potential .
According to the Lightning Path Human Development Framework, actuation full potential requires Sufficient Satisfaction of the Seven Essential Needs, from birth through old age.
There is, of course, the important question of "What is full human potential?" That's hard to tell because the human species has never enjoyed an optimal environment and, what's worse, the Accumulating Class have been suppressing potential for thousands and thousands of years.
