Abraham Maslow and the Psychology of Self-Actualization


"When all things are seen equally timeless self-essence is reached."

Hsin Hsin Ming

"Praise to that happening, over and over!

For years I pulled my own existence out of emptiness.

Then one swoop, one swing of the arm, that work is over.

Free of who I was, free of presence, free of dangerous fear,

free of hope, free of mountainous wanting." - Rumi


"In healthy people, the more you activate a portion of your frontal lobes,
the more accurate your view of yourself is. The more you view yourself as desirable or better than your peers, the less you use those frontal lobes."

Jennifer Beer


"Every once in a while we run into people who are still firmly embedded in modern technological society yet who have cast off its hurried, anxious, alienated mindsets and adopted a more easy-going, playful attitude.

Often this happens after a major illness or other personal calamity reveals the vacuity of former ambitions and preoccupations.

They are not passionless or indifferent, but if anything more involved and more fully engaged in the moment, because it is precisely the anxiety of modern life that removes us from the moment, that makes us feel we cannot afford to "be here now" - to fully engage." - Charles Eisenstein

Tactics in the Art of Self-Interrogation


Questioning to the Nth Degree Tactic

Solutions to psychological dilemma are found in the root of conception.

Once a solution has been settled upon it must then be carefully re-analyzed for inbuilt biases, incongruities, preconceived notions and opinionated preconceptions not found to be congruent with the Natural Order.

Self-interrogation is the path to integral consciousness = self-awareness.



Iconoclasm Tactic

This tactic is all about poking holes in sacred assumptions and deliberately shattering images of hypocrisy.

A truly spiritual individual does not identify with any ideology, institution, religion, or state.

The heretical blasphemer, The Fool, is left free to create and modify ideas, memes, concepts and symbols spiraling around him playing with cultural memes in an attempt to inject compassion and understanding.

This heroic individual worldview is truly symbolic of the Natural Order.



Perception Overhaul Tactic

A thorough repair, renovation, or revision of a perceptual outlook.

This tactic focuses on perception, both phenomenal and psychological.

The question, "Is the glass half-full or half-empty?" serves to demonstrate, not only the way an object can be perceived in different ways, but concepts and emotional states can be perceived in different ways, even by the same person in different places and/or at different times.

The ideal state achieved by the Perception Overhaul Tactic is one of plasticity and fluidity through the overall awareness of perceptual fluctuations, both personal and public.



Counter-Weltanschauung Dynamics Tatic

Is simply a challenging of worldviews and the bringing into question of the framework of ideas and beliefs that individuals use to interpret and interact with their world.

Weltanschauung is German for worldview, a perspective of reality imprinted socially and culturally.

Counter-Weltanschauung Dynamics is a way of questioning worldview by describing its polar opposite, so as to arrive at a more open-minded understanding of one's interpretation of the world as a whole.

The ideal mental state achieved by the Counter-Weltanschauung Dynamics tactic is one of cross-cultural open-mindedness and anti-dogmatic empathy for other-than-self worldviews.



Cognitive Dissonance Counter-Intuitive Tatic

This tactic emphasizes the fact that humans are always rationalizing but are seldom rational beings about things unseen outside the periphery of their personal environment.

By understanding and analyzing the cognitive dissonance in oneself and within others, a self-interrogator discovers, hidden cognitive bias, prejudices, and false beliefs.

A self-interrogator realizes reality can be counter-intuitive:

While it seems that a group of people gathered together by capital to form corporations might help benefit mankind by bringing products and services to market that benefit mankind that single individuals could not hope to accomplish the truth is that by forming syndicates that exclude wide swaths of people they are, in truth, benefitting only themselves.



Occam's Razor Tactic

This tactic focuses on making sense of human senselessness by throwing away ideas, hypothesis, and theories that do not adhere to the natural order.

To discern aesthetic and shed the superfluous use Occam's Razor regularly.

In conjunction with Occam's Razor its dialectic opposite Crabtree's Bludgeon must be considered:

"No set of mutually inconsistent observations can exist for which a human intellect cannot conceive a coherent explanation, however complicated."

The ideal state achieved by the Occam's razor Tactic is one of aesthetic elegance in the face of superfluity (elegance is the soul of acumen) and a personification of Shakespeare's quote, "Brevity is the soul of wit."



Gary "Z" McGee's (retired navy intelligence specialist) Guillotine

This is being injected with a PCP/LSD cocktail, receiving a traumatic brain injury or having a near death experience!

This is a tactic of outright decapitation; a pruning, scalping, and beheading of the intellect and its tainting of Natural Order (wishing things to be different than they are).

This tactic strips away the ignorance of human opinion and replaces it with natural dictation.

It goes beyond shedding superfluity and cuts the human intellect out of the equation so that the soul shines forth: open-minded, non-dogmatic, fluid, and plastic in its self-actualization of the original equation.

REFLECTIONS OF MY LIFE


"Study of the self is man' primary duty and responsibility."

Michel De Montaigne


Self-actualization, a never-ending, gradual process of self-improvement, requires self-affirmation.

Even so there is a clear demarcation between self-actualized individuals and emotionally conditioned individuals still laboring under the spell of power.

Self-actualization is a process that occurs simultaneously on both conscious and subconscious levels but is begun by conscious effort.

Traits of self-actualized individuals may appear contradictory at first glance as these indiviudals have moved beyond the need to fulfill basic desires.

Self-actualizing individuals are open to new experiences; eager to learn new skills; examine new ideas and concepts; do not wear masks or role play, feel inhibited or restricted in thought, feeling or action.



Carl Jung, the Shadow, and the Dangers of Psychological Projection

Carl Jung and the Shadow – The Mechanics of Your Dark Side



In contrast to emotionally conditioned individuals self-actualizing individuals do not tend to repress perceptions in order to fit preconceived notions, prejudices, religious dogma or c✡rp✡rate media preceptions.

Self-actualizing individuals experience no contradiction between what they feel on an intuitive subconscious level and what they think on a conscious rational level as they Walk the Thinspace.

Self-actualizing individuals have an accurate perception of reality having navigated obstacles while Walking the Thinspace on the Way of Gnosis.

A self-actualizer experiences beauty, joy, awe and wonder in simple unadulterated natural experiences such as "stopping to smell the flowers".

By accepting joy in this eternal moment by fully opening the heart a self-actualizer is constantly reborn into higher states of consciousness.

The sense of beauty, wonder or revivification a self-actualizer experiences is triggered by a recognition of the beauty in the complexity of pattern.

The self-actualizer can enjoy and re-experience well-known stimuli in a new manner termed by Abraham Maslow as freshness of appreciation or what Daniel Gilbert would describe as a re-setting of the hedonic thermostat.

Self-actualization involves a constant modification of understanding of the evolving schemata of reality while keeping a generally playful attitude towards problem-solving and self-expression.

Self-actualizing individuals recognize and are unconcerned with conforming to contradictory social controls as they see control for what it is.

Avatars are self-actualizing.


Lack of inhibition or tension may be misunderstood in Avatars.

Avatars Filter Consciousness to share with the rest of mankind in the domains of art, science, philosophy, religion, theology as well as the insight into everyday tasks such as gardening, woodworking and cooking.

An Avatar holds a general attitude of acceptance of things as they are.

Actualities beyond their control are duly noted and shared with mankind.

Avatars are concerned with social cultural conditions of collapse.

And Avatars are critical thinkers challenging their fellow men to become critical thinkers as well as asking them to consider the causes of social upheaval, ecosystem destruction and extinction of life.

Avatars hold well-developed moral values aided by unbiased apperception.

In situations of uncertainty Avatars postpone judgement.

Avatars, having a general feeling of empathy and kinship towards humanity as a whole, devote their life to a general "mission" and in so doing tend to meld 'work' and 'leisure' while finding both those terms constricting.

Avatars enjoy solitude and detachment to pursue their interests.

Avatars are many times misunderstood as self-focused, absent-minded and short of temper - especially if distractions are undermining concentration.

Avatars, thinking in an unique and unconventional manner, are capable of intense and profound interpers∞nal relati∞nships.

Avatars prefer sincere associations, self-disclosure and dropping of defense mechanisms which allows spontaneous contributions of new knowledge.

There is no need to be afraid of the flexible intelligence of a Luminary.

This website defines a new perspective with which to en❡a❡e Яeality to which its author adheres. The author feels that the faλsification of reaλity outside personal experience has forged a populace unable to discern pr☠paganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reaλity on the human race. Religi☯us int☯lerance ☯ccurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religi☸us beliefs or persons due to their religi⚛us ide⚛l⚛gy. This web site marks the founding of a system of philºsºphy nªmed The Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie - a ra☨ional gnos☨ic mys☨ery re☦igion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a pers∞nal relati∞n with Æ∞n through the pursuit of the knowλedge of reaλity in the hope of curing the spiritual c✡rrupti✡n that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Mŷsterŷ of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Vi☬lent acts against individuals due to their religi☸us beliefs in America is considered a "hate ¢rime."

This web site in no way c☬nd☬nes vi☬lence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartels desire to c✡ntr✡l the human race. The internati☣nal c☣rp☣rate cartel already controls the w☸rld ec☸n☸mic system, c☸rp☸rate media w☸rldwide, the global indus✈rial mili✈ary en✈er✈ainmen✈ complex and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the eg● w●rship and the destruction of gl☭bal ec☭systems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation with bi☣hazards of a gun.

American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the p☠pulace in general through c✡rp✡rate media by pressing emotional buttons which have been πreπrogrammed into the πoπulation through prior mass media psych☣l☣gical ☣perati☣ns. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of s☠cial structures that do not adhere to the corrupt internati☭nal elites vision of a perfect world. Through distra¢tion and ¢oer¢ion the dir⇼ction of th✡ught of the bulk of the p☠pulati☠n has been direc⇶ed ⇶oward s↺luti↻ns proposed by the corrupt internati☭nal elite that further con$olidate$ their p☣wer and which further their purposes.
