Self-Actualizing People

Last week it happened to read the maslow's theory of motivation by which every human is motivated until and unless he is satisfied the bottom of that pyramid level he wont move upside. As we moves upside of the pyramid we continues to enjoy the greater level of humanness and understanding.

Maslow's View of Motivation Maslow's theory rests on five basic assumptions about motivation:

(1) the whole organism is motivated at any one time;

(2) motivation is complex, and unconscious motives often underlie behavior;

(3) people are continually motivated by one need or another;

(4) people in different cultures are all motivated by the same basic needs;and

(5) needs can be arranged on a hierarchy. 

which is shown in picture.

                    

Concept of Humanity Maslow believed that people are structured in such a way that their activated needs are exactly what they want most. Hungry people desire food, frightened people look for safety, and so forth. Although he was generally optimistic and hopeful, Maslow saw that people are capable of great evil and destruction. He believed that as a species, humans are becoming more and more fully human and motivated by higher level needs. In summary, Maslow's view of humanity rates high on free choice, optimism, teleology, and uniqueness and about average on social influences.

oopar ki batein maine kyon jikar kiya- ki one can understand the need of different people, and at which stage they are the higher the stage the more they are human, lower the stage they have more animal instincts, now when you u know this that different people are at different needs and they are motivated by those needs and continue to be those needs, can any one change their needs and grow ? certainly they can grow , they should be influenced by proper thoughts and creativity. usse pahle uska moha toh bhang ho..!!! tabhi insaan kuch seekh ne ke liye tayaar hota hai.

ab now see that if any one want to make relationship with differnt personality as maslow shows some one like Esteem personality motivated has found husband of physiological motivated or some one love personality person paired with safety personality how would be their life , and u can imagine the pairs with saas - bahu , beta maa and so on..tab kya hota hai..Nahi banegi apas me, kyon ki dono ek doore ki zaroorat nai dekh rahe hothe hai, isnt it?

Maslow believed that a very small percentage of people reach an ultimate level of psychological health called self-actualization.

Characteristics of Self-Actualizing People

Maslow listed 15 qualities that characterize self-actualizing people, although not all self-actualizers possess each of the characteristics to the same extent. These characteristics are

(1) More efficient perception of reality, meaning that self-actualizers often have an almost uncanny (अलौकिक ) ability to detect phoniness( not genuine or fake ) in others, and they are not fooled by sham; (बनावट ).

(2) acceptance of self, others, and nature;
 

(3) Spontaneity, simplicity, and naturalness, meaning that self-actualizers have no need to appear complex or sophisticated;

(4) Problem-centered which is the ability to view age-old problems from a solid philosophical position;

(5) The need for privacy, or a detachment that allows self-actualizing people to be alone without being lonely;
 

(6) Autonomy, meaning that they no longer are dependent on other people for their self-esteem;

(7) Continued freshness of appreciation and the ability to view everyday things with a fresh vision and appreciation;

(8) frequent reports of peak experiences, or those mystical experiences that give a person a sense of transcendence( भाव समाधि)and feelings of awe(,an overwhelming feeling of wonder or admiration), wonder(चमत्कार), ecstasy (परम आनंद or भावातिरेक ) , reverence(श्रद्धा), and humility ( नम्रता ).

(9) Gemeinschaftsgefühl, that is, social interest or a deep feeling of oneness with all humanity

(10) profound interpersonal relations, but with no desperate need to have a multitude friends;

(11) the democratic character structure, or the ability to disregard superficial differences between people;

(12) discrimination between means and ends, meaning that self-actualizing people have a clear sense of right and wrong, and they experience little conflict about basic values;

(13) a philosophical sense of humor that is spontaneous, unplanned, and intrinsic to the situation;

(14) creativeness, with a keen perception of truth, beauty,
and reality;

(15) resistance to enculturation, or the ability to set personal standards and to resist the mold set by culture.

Self-actualization refers to a complete understanding of the self. To be self-actualized means to truly know who you are, where you belong in the greater society, and to feel like you have accomplished all that you have set out to accomplish. It means to no longer feel shame or guilt, or even hate, but to accept the world and see human nature as inherently good.One can master that actualization fully, but as we lead the life towards it we begin to have clarity of life, at least we have a purpose or we know what we are doing.isn't it?

Acknowledges the presence of the unconscious ; well our own eastern psychological approach towards life, which talks about beyond trance, and that's where the actual reality one can experience, So there is lots to know in this world. My whole approach towards you was always how you can get rid of your demons who caught up your mind and make not your real you to come out. You have become slave and they Banished you from your life ,you turned out to be like puppet in the hands of circumstances(environment), which gradually suppressed your real personality and accepted the life to a shallow demonic one, which is more or less based on physiological levels, but when we shared so many things I observed you are not of that lower level you belong to higher pyramid level of personality, hence; since that time I started to be cooperative with you to bring a positiveness which is  already there just make youself to come out of that negative state of mind in which you were roaming at free always..( see the pic for negative emotions)

why should we not come out of these negative emotions and live life as it is..which we have if we do effort; certainly we can increase the level of positiveness in our life, we can!!! necessity is to leave the old pattern of thinking system, The addicted one, and to get rid of addictions we should first need to know that we are addicted to a mechanically trained thought of pattern. infact What we call (I ) is nothing but a Bunch of addictions.
