Eupsychian Education

Eupsychian Education is an educational framework grounded in Abraham Maslow’s Eupsychian Theory and aimed at the full development of human potential through Needs Satisfaction, Connection, Healing, and the facilitation of Self-Actualization. Eupsychian Education focuses on fostering conditions that enable psychological health, creativity, and integration with the Fabric of Consciousness, and can be understood as a developmental and therapeutic approach to education that supports both individual and collective Human Flourishing.

Notes

Eupsychian Education directly aligns with the goals of the Lightning Path, particularly its focus on Connection, Healing, Needs Satisfaction, and the rejection of Ideological forms of education designed to repress and control rather than liberate. It supports the emergence of a planetary society composed of whole, healthy, and connected individuals.

Description

Eupsychian Education builds on Eupsychian Theory's premise that education should prioritize the development of psychologically healthy, self-actualizing individuals capable of connection to both their inner potential and the larger world. As Hoffman and Bey note, Maslow believed that such an education system would be “radically different” from current approaches focused on conformity and obedience. It would instead foster “respect for the learner’s uniqueness, inner potential, and spiritual needs”.

Quoting Maslow: “What we call ‘normal education’ is for the most part education for alienation… from self, from one’s fellow man, from nature, and from the cosmos” (quoted in Hoffman & Bey, p. 177). Eupsychian Education, in contrast, heals this alienation through supportive environments, empathic teaching, and curricula centered on human needs, especially the B-values (Being-values) such as truth, beauty, and unity.

A key figure in the evolution of this theory was Aldous Huxley, who Maslow credited with influencing his thinking on self-actualization and transpersonal development. Huxley’s vision of “perennial philosophy” provided a spiritual and metaphysical grounding for Eupsychian Education, particularly its aim to awaken consciousness and promote non-pathological mysticism (or Connection Experiences).
