Spiritual & Metaphysical Matters

I got the idea for a concept that i used ai to help expand, and found the result worth my consideration, it sprouted from participating in the making of: this thread

‘The tree of human needs’

A “The tree of human needs” is a conceptual framework that visually represents the hierarchical structure of human needs, similar to a tree with roots, trunk, branches, and leaves. This metaphor helps to illustrate how basic needs form the foundation for more complex and abstract human desires and motivations. The tree provides a holistic view of human well-being by showing the interconnectedness of different levels of needs.

Components of the The Tree of Human Needs:

  1. Roots (Fundamental Needs):

These represent the basic physiological and safety needs that form the foundation of human survival. They are essential for maintaining life and well-being.

Examples:

Food and water

Shelter and clothing

Physical safety

Health

  1. Trunk (Psychological and Emotional Needs):

The trunk symbolizes the core psychological needs that support a person’s sense of self, emotional well-being, and mental health. These needs grow out of the foundational needs and help in building resilience.

Examples:

Love and belonging

Connection with others

Emotional safety

Esteem and respect (self-worth)

  1. Branches (Social and Higher-Order Needs):

The branches extend from the trunk and represent the more complex needs that emerge when the foundational and psychological needs are met. These branches indicate the desire for more abstract goals related to personal growth, social standing, and achievement.

Examples:

Creativity and self-expression

Achievement and competence

Status and recognition

Meaning and purpose in life

  1. Leaves (Self-Actualization and Transcendence):

The leaves represent the highest level of human needs, often associated with self-actualization and transcendence. These needs are related to realizing one’s full potential, seeking fulfillment, and contributing to something greater than oneself.

Examples:

Personal growth and self-improvement

Spirituality or higher purpose

Altruism and contribution to society

Mastery and fulfillment of individual potential

Interconnectedness and Growth:

Like a tree, human needs are interconnected and grow together. The stronger the roots and trunk, the healthier and more expansive the branches and leaves. If fundamental needs are unmet, it can be difficult for an individual to focus on higher-level needs. Conversely, when basic needs are fulfilled, individuals can grow and develop in more complex ways, leading to a richer, more fulfilling life.

Dynamic Nature:

The human need tree is dynamic, as human needs fluctuate over time. Life events, crises, and personal growth can influence which parts of the tree need more attention. For example, someone who has achieved self-actualization might still face periods where they need to refocus on the roots (basic needs) due to health issues or emotional challenges.

In summary, the human need tree provides a holistic and structured way to think about human needs, growth, and fulfillment. It emphasizes the importance of nurturing every level of human experience to support overall well-being.

A hierarchy of needs might complement
Maslow’s psychological framework.

41.21 Questioner: You mentioned in the last session that fasting was a method of removing unwanted thought-forms. Can you expand on this process and explain a little more about how this works?
Ra: I am Ra. This, as all healing techniques, must be used by a conscious being; that is, a being conscious that the ridding of excess and unwanted material from the body complex is the analogy to the ridding of mind or spirit of excess or unwanted material. Thus the one discipline or denial of the unwanted portion as an appropriate part of the self is taken through the tree of mind down through the trunk to subconscious levels where the connection is made and thus the body, mind, and spirit, then in unison, express denial of the excess or unwanted spiritual or mental material as part of the entity
All then falls away and the entity, while understanding, if you will, and appreciating the nature of the rejected material as part of the greater self, nevertheless, through the action of the will purifies and refines the mind/body/spirit complex, bringing into manifestation the desired mind complex or spirit complex attitude.

I beg your pardon - I participate using an iPhone
and this editor tool limits my ability to say much.

I’m pondering the idea of Alchemy, the reduction
of noise for the purpose of purifying signal, in
some spiritual sense. I intuit the concept of
fasting as a well known approach, then search
Law of One dot info and find the quote. In my
case, the unwanted portion is “noise” that may
degrade my signal, say like a communication
signal that is important. I ponder some degree
of transcendence as improving signal to noise
ratio within my spiritual interface, as potentially
some means to create salvation from noise
This then weaves into the idea that diet may
influence noise levels, where disconnects in
people, vegans vs. carnivores, may coincide
with spiritual noise level differences.

I really like the quote you posted, definitely felt worth considering for a moment :slight_smile:

not expanding the idea of where i am, outside of my immediate area, has worked really well at reducing my mental noise.

or rather, not having a fundamental idea about where i am, and let reality be it’s own voice in that, so to say.

to clarify, I don’t reject practical ideas about where i am, while i refrain from isolating myself in them

I have a feeling that being under the veil in what is apparently three D iwhich is the density of confusion, it is really mostly uncertain, unpredictable, random, to say , I am of 6 th density or, 5th density or…any upwards density.

We may have intuition that 3rd density isn’t t ours, but still this is the one we are as a matter of fact, living through, and chose, whatever the intuition tells us, so it’s very random to proclaim otherwise and even this, usually entities who are from upward densities tend to be incredibly discreet about hat upwards densities there are from when given proof while being humans of 3 D.

Myself I feel extremely linked to second (!) densities during this incarnation and in fact it proves to be one my most blissful encounters during this human life, lol

I feel strange in trying to apply that we are in 3rd density, at this point.

applying a number to my present location, makes me feel isolated and stagnated.

Sure, there is some level of disorientation to deal with from time to time…
But I will take being a little disoriented about my place in the vastness of probable totality, over the inspirational confinement of defining my relative location, in regards to the source of my reality.

edit, I´m not rejecting the idea of where I am, I just seldom indulge it, and let the conditions speak for them selves :slight_smile:

I like that

I feel I am both in 3D and yet both in love with what is

Sort of surreal
