Higher Than Birds & Bees. How Growth Helps You. Dear Friend,
If you've ever watched the pigeons wandering about in Trafalgar Square, you'll know that they have only one aim in life : to find their next meal.
All of ecological life - birds, bees and animals etc. - is like this. The sole motivation is how to eat to survive.
At the level of human beings, we move away from this consumption imperative (or at least some people do), to higher wants and needs.
These wants and needs, including the want for love and belonging, can be stacked on top of each other and are illustrated by Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
At the top of Maslow's pyramid, the final need, is for self-actualisation or self-realisation. But there's no real guide book in psychology for getting there.
The reason why is because it's an evolutionary step, rather than merely a psychological step. But no one can evolve themselves either.
However, with kundalini-awakening and developing yourself with daily meditation, you do grow.
And then by a trickle-down effect from the top of Maslow's pyramid all your lower needs and wants are fulfilled.
In the Bhagavad Gita this outcome is described as 'yoga kshema vahamyaham', meaning : 'get to yoga (union with the divine, which your Kundalini does) and then your wellbeing is automatically looked after'. More below.
Also below: sign-up for the free dance & yoga classes in Mayfair which are on again in August; and, a meditation for better relationships.
Best wishesP. PS. Moon Calendar (at end) this coming week: Wed. 24th July - Sankashti Chaturthi (Solution to long-standing problems); Sat. 27th - Saptami (Your Lucky 7th !). |
