PROLOGUE: A GLIMPSE OF THE TENTH NEED OF THE NINE NEEDS ALL HUMANS HAVE 

The need to help others is listed as the 10th need in my original thesis.  The “need to help others” is in fact something that we do not necessary need to practice in order to survive in this world and the many people who for their prejudice do no have a desire or need to help people who are not white proves my point.

However, “helping others of our own free will” can add an exclamation point of satisfaction to the life of any human on the planet.

For those that love to care and to help others, “the tenth need” will be  a second home from where they will peer out into a world filled with helping challenges and opportunities.  For people of a different nature “the Tenth Need” may seem odd or unfamiliar and to them I would recommend “the Nine Needs” so that they can find out [why] they do not care about others.  In most cases, a response might be, “because no one cared about me.”  To the level and depth a person has suffered neglect will determine their ability to carry out basic tasks fundamental to their own healing. People who have trouble helping others have various excuses and even think that serving others without compensation is beyond their understanding. No one can force anyone to do good deeds.

But unlike the “Nine Needs” that help us to reflect and measure how we were cared for in this life, “The Tenth Need,” is about caring for others. And like water replenishes the body, so too does caring refresh and rejuvenates the spirit.

However I may write about the compendium of human needs, it is important for all readers to understand is that there are many people in the world who do not go to church, but they know how to care.   One does not need to be religious in order to operate in the 10th need, but some sort of belief in God or a Benevolent Life Force can be very helpful towards accomplishing greater goals of caring.  In great works of love and caring belief in God always has a way of organizing the organizer.

The truth about caring is that every good deed ever performed for humanity by atheist or saint has roots in “love” or “charity.”  “Charity” or “love” are free will acts that when performed by humans in tandem or separately reveal the nature of a good benevolent omniscience the force of God that is intended to unite and bond humanity through peaceful acts done by good Samaritans.

Be they atheists, agnostic, protestant, Jewish or Muslim, those that devote their lives to making sure they have a caring goal, these become the moral pillars of society despite their religion.

Be they democratic, monarchic, or theocratic, moral pillars are an essential part of our world.  Extreme and unwavering by nature, moral pillars exude a spiritual calibration that runs through society and  through their strength and conviction keep society from turning into Sodom and Gomorrah.  These are  are the moral fiber and backbone of a country and they exist all over the world.

If we were to read about about them and their good works,  we might be convinced that the tenth need is par for the course which would be the delight of Heaven, but unfortunately it is not so.

The Nine Needs a major Expansion of Psychology’s “Magic Question”

Models:  In any serious discipline models are required in order to examine the object under observation be that item a person, place or thing.   In psychology a model is required toward the development of a new paradigm.  In the case of our paradigm,  the model that is used is ¨ the magic question ¨ a standard that has for the last few decades been popular for quick assessments.

In developing a new paradigm in the field of psychology it is important to account for the many assumptions that must be weighed and cross compared against existing paradigms in order to ascertain its value to the profession.   Fundamental to the task of developing a new paradigm is asking the question, “Has research exhausted every avenue that seeks to understand the human systems of needs?” The answer would of course be no.

Despite the developmental efforts of Freud, Erickson, Piaget, Vigotsky and Maslow et al, there is still much to learn, but paradigms go way back and behavioral paradigms that help us to regulate behavior are our laws.  Psychology is always about helping us make adjustments in our emotional and sometimes physical lives and as a behavioral science, it helps people to appreciate better and adhere to good government laws that exist in our world, even the “Ten Commandments”

Few people would look at Moses’ Ten Commandments or Siddhartha Gautama´s “Middle Way” as important psychological paradigms let alone models that convey important and relative psychological constructs.  Yet these as with several others are as important to human development as any modern psychological theory or construct ever developed by Greek Philosophers whom are often poorly quoted and misinterpreted morally in university texts these days. There is an educational conspiracy in effect and its affects have created people who can benefit from the “Nine Needs.”

The paradigms developed by our predecessors and mentors, are not by their own fault limited by a perspective that even using the most sensitive phrasing is a perspective limited by cultural, dimensional, and regional influences.  Henceforth the goal of our paradigm is to establish a method that appeals universally and can be applied holistically to all humans whether living in China or France, be they Christian or Atheist.

On this basis is the question, “If I had a magic wand and could grant you a wish what would that be?” are  “The Nine Needs Developed”

The Tenth Need: A Quick Synopsis

Then “Tenth need is a small part of the original thesis” but will be the culmination of personal achievement for many who are challenged by its precepts.

The “Tenth Need” is for me the satisfaction of a lifetime of personal experience and the study of psychology, theology, sociology, and cultural anthropology etcetera.  It takes into account many aspects of behavior and is culturally and religiously sensitive.  It is the last of a series of needs that humans have with one exception.  The tenth need is not necessary for human survival or happiness.

According to this thesis, “One does not need to help others in this life in order to be successful.”  And as the saying goes the sun shines on both the good and wicked meaning even evil people can be successful.  Inadvertently, the 10th need falls under the assumption that a human feels satisfied in life enough to think outside the box and serving something greater than ourselves is what the tenth need is all about.

ACLU and Human Rights lawyers seem to live in this area and caring even over-caring is as natural and as easy for them as blowing a bubble from chewing gum.

From a religious standpoint the 10th need could be interpreted as serving without any expectation of reward either. For the religious at heart, this means the tenth need is essentially an “agape” state.   In all its essence the tenth need is the desire to go beyond the call of duty.  In Christian scripture, the tenth need may be defined partially as going the extra mile for humans we may not want to serve.  Public Defenders lawyers might understand this and could easily apply their frustration to the statement, “why go the extra mile to defend the public when a plea bargain is that much easier.” It is not easy caring for people in situations that involve crime especially if you are a Public Defender who in many cases has aspirations towards the D.A.s office, and there is always room for new talent.

For those who when faced with slavery put James 1:2 [1] into affect and count it all joy when forced to do something against their will as illustrated by Mathew 5:41[2] and add to it the extra mile– then the 10th need becomes the launching pad in the making of a true Public servant.

For Godly minded people,  the tenth need is in terms of food the spiritual breakfast of champions and living it requires a mindset that after metabolizing well our spiritual meal learn how to apply the energy we get be us a Lae enfocrcement officer, a lawyer, a volunteer, a fireman, a politician, a government worker, a libraian, a doctor,  a teacher, a politician or even an actor.

These days many actors are gravitating toward Jewish Mysticism, but mysticism can be applied to anything we love;  If a lawyer, read your law books until you get the blessing.  If a scientist, your science books, and if a writer, then those novels that inspire you so.  If you are a philanthropist or want to be going over over your plans to build your soup kitchen or your ultimate solution for homeless people that often get rejected by shelters because they have forgotten how to live indoors.  Then there is another type of mysticism not Jewish and associated with wizardry.  It too creates people who can benefit from the “Nine Needs.”

The fact of the matter is that mysticism in any form be it religious or educational works best on things we love and it always produces fresh insight even in science.  I am not talking about that “other type of mysticism” that I just warned you about in the previous paragraph.

If we are lawyers and hate law books, but love our jobs and love reading crime novels, then crime novels will help us be better lawyers if we read them with passion and the direct goal that our love for the Law will somehow be nourished by the application of our hearts and minds in things that nourish insight into our careers.  But, in mysticism “love” is always the key and if we do not love what we do then we may never write things  “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Repair.” By Chuck Swindoll.”

Charles Swindoll was Pastor of Free Evangelical Church in Fullerton California where I grew up as a child.  He  is an evangelical Christian pastor, author, educator, and radio preacher. He founded Insight for Living, headquartered in Frisco, Texas, which airs a radio program of the same name on more than 2,000 stations around the world in 15 languages. He is currently senior pastor at Stonebriar Community Church, in Frisco, Texas.  After a successful tour of duty in the military in 1959, he attended Dallas Theological Seminary, where he graduated magna cum laude four years later.

Chuck is an example and model citizen and no matter what people may say of him I am not ashamed of sharing him and the fact he was one of my mentors growing up together with many others who discipled me through Christian radio & television  in the  70s, 80s and 90s..  Chuck has done much charitable work.

When we do a charitable work or deed, we enter into a realm that can become habit forming.   A habit is something that develops in us through the repetitions acts or good deeds.  A habit is a distinct mechanical reaction of our brain and they begin in us through parenting.  Thus to develop ourselves through secular or religious mysticism is something that must become habit forming if we are to be all that we can be.   Adding, the mysticism to any life or any career can birth in us the need for caring and even if we start out caring only for ourselves we must do so until we become satisfied with our lives before moving on to caring for others.

Before I continue I feel the need to remind people about bad mysticism as well.  See the origins and development of faith

• Mystic

It makes sense that before we can treat others the way we want to be treated, a good foundation in self-caring and self-liking would make us better keepers of our brothers, sisters and our neighbors and better sons and daughters to our parents.

Caring for ones self is so under-rated, yet so necessary if we are to achieve levels of caring for others in our lives that seem at the moment unattainable.  Caring for ones self needs to be mastered in every way, if we expect to serve something that is greater than ourselves be that: God, a cause, a fellow human or the community where we live.

Caring is always best done at the local level and as Drew Barrymore once said in her website, “What are you doing in your local community to help others?”

But caring for ourselves first must become habit and it can start in things as easy as cleaning up our homes, rooms, bodies, and things that reflect a personal self-esteem. If we are inconsistent in the most basic of personal responsibilities and we suffer no physical handicap, we must reflect why we are unable to motivate ourselves and it may be a combination of reasons.

Brushing our teeth is a habit, a value ingrained in us taught to us by our parents whose insistence on its value perfected a habit that we carry out through our lives.   By a persons teeth or cavity count we can glean many personal insights.  Braces in youth or as a young adult, signifies a high value for perfect teeth the icing on the cake for many a college graduate.

If growing up we went to Sunday school or participated in a church bake sale, our first exposure to charity work may have involved a simple fundraiser in a park setting or a socially easy comfortable environment.  Sunday school teachers are usually always volunteers and often we attach some of our fondest memories to that man or women who volunteered to teach us the scriptures more in depth.  Yet many who attended Sunday school never become Sunday school volunteers let alone want to be in leadership at their church on top of their careers.

For many of us, instruction in how to love others, is embedded in us through our parents. If they raised us well, we come to understand as children the value that a good deed is something that in itself is its own reward.   Thus, if the habit to do a good deed is ingrained in us under favorable circumstances, it becomes a part of our understanding that giving is a need that comes natural except for those who were not nurtured in giving and caring environments to whom personal care is still yet a mountain that needs to be climbed then mastered.

Only when giving of ourselves and our time, does the tenth need become in us what angels feel naturally every day and that is giving with no expectation of reward.   It does not mean that if we do not expect, we will not be rewarded, but each person is different and though we may fool others our true motivations when giving are sometimes not pure.

However, before plowing into the 10th need which for some is like “Chicken Soup for the Soul”  which for the Latin might be “Abondigas for the soul”  the equivalent of Latin American nourishment care solution, we need to examine the whole of the  “Nine  Needs”  in order to understand why we may or may not be motivated to help anyone except ourselves.

The Needs of Humans and of God: Where does the Nine Needs Fit:

While writing the nine needs during my masters thesis I could not help but to reflect on one of the first  and most popular paradigms given to man the one most people even those who are not psychologist are familiar with and that would be the ten commandments.

Unlike the Ten Commandments a behavioral paradigm that that tells humans what God needs and expects from them, the 9 needs tell us what we need from each other  so that once mastered, fixed or overcome, the Ten Commandments become a walk in the park though it never hurts to do the best we can working in both simultaneously at the same time.  For most of us, the Ten Commandments are more familiar, but if we are extremely biased, racists or prejudice, we may be lacking one or more of the basic needs that all humans have.

In short, maximizing living potential via the ten commandments are the application of moral, religious, and psychological precepts into our everyday lives.   A most interesting observation is that by living in the ten commandments we help to facilitate some of the nine needs in others.

Because of specifics that deal with behavior, we can also look at the ten commandments as a behavioral paradigm, the first ever written on tablets in script that may have originally been hieroglyphics the language Egypt, a system of writing that was understood and read by Hebrews at that time.  Little is written about the language that the  “Ten Commandments” was written in and the movie by Cecil B Demille  does little to add insight into the Exodus a context with Egyptian educational implications.

Unlike the ten commandments, the nine needs is not so much what God needs from us rather what we need from each other and from our surroundings so that might live lives that are whole.

Aside from the worlds main religions that we all so commonly are familiar with we will explore paradigms as presented by advents that created the great civilizations that featured moral laws such as those mentioned in the code of Hamurrubi.  Monotheism is by no means limited to Judaism, but was honored long before Moses and in. one case through the relationship of Abraham a citizen of Egypt and Melchizedek King of Salem  to whom he paid tithes do we understand a priestly relationship that had transpired and most likely migrated through Egyptian origins in earlier expressions of Monotheism that with time withered before being replaced by gods that symbolized magical sources for Egypt’s elite and represented simple pantheistic faith to the common people.

We shall also try to cover as many examples of moral law post Moses in order to establish understanding that God has at all times in all cultures built upon the firm ground of morality that has existed in several cultures.   This morality is often expressed in terms of civil laws and divine sayings that verify the established presence of God through his son or himself among the peoples of the earth.

Thus in psychological terms we understand morality is a necessary type of human psychological construct that is necessary for order and is the brick and mortar of great civilizations like immorality is their decline and fall.  For without morality and order could the Hanging Gardens of Babylon or anything great be conceived let alone built. It almost seems that throughout history God builds a great city or civilization then leaves it alone to see how it unwinds without the same divine intervention that originally started it.  This would be necessary for human growth and self management meaning humans  must learn to peacefully coexists on their own.

Before becoming a student of psychology it was difficult to imagine that psychology and religion could be so closely associated with each other. However, both have their genesis and ensuing branches that sprung forth from the foundations established by their forefathers.   In reading the paradigms of the fields great thinkers, and learning that psychology is about helping humans how to live and process life, it became clear that laws established by previous civilizations, the law of Moses, the New testament, The Koran, The Book of Morman, the Writings of Bahaulaq Bahai and other religious books that preceded psychology were worth taking a second and third look at from a psychodynamic perspective.

In reading the bible with eyes of a psychologist, the first thing I looked for was anxiety and found it as early as the book of Genesis.  Upon finding anxiety I also found its cure and thus without anyone teaching me I found the roots of psychology embedded in a place I had not notice before going to college.

Although “The Nine Needs” may be considered by some to be a religious paradigm,  it is not.  As previously stated, The Nine Needs are an extension of a well known technique that restated basically asks person that if they could have any wish granted to them in the world what would that be?

The Nine Needs address this question in 9 dimensions or perspectives that could easily be predicted through statistical inference drawn off the compendium of knowledge that addresses the needs of humans from a theological, anthropological, sociological and psychological viewpoint. The Nine Needs derives significant  quickly.

Applied skillfully, it could literally save a professional hundreds of psychoanalytical hours of therapy making it a friend of the case manager in the context managed care.  Another aspect of the nine needs is its spiritual curve one that can be useful for the pastoral counseling or psychoanalytical counseling field.  Here despite creed or religion we hold the assumption that humans are spiritual needful beings.

Atheism: As a spiritual condition:

Atheism is also an important part of the thesis.  Atheists are humans with feelings that for whatever reason feel God is dead or does not exists and have every right to their beliefs.  Nevertheless, atheists are the quintessential humanists of society, but like everyone else, atheists have the same needs, feelings, and hopes as anyone else.

Humanists and atheists, experience the same problems as the typical conservative church going member or the even the anarchist or agnostic who was not nurtured properly by their parents e.g. your local cult leader who veered completely away from those principles we feel symbolize those moral pillars necessary to sustain and keep stable a moral society.

Humans have many needs and before beginning to help them, it is important to understand where they are coming from.  To do this we must look at them from every angle in order to gather what are the quintessential human needs beyond the survival mechanisms that keep them afloat.  Paramount is the need for humans to communicate with one another.

To reduce anxiety good communication is needed.  In its journey through civilization the need to communicate with others has added to the philosophical and theological record to the extent that one cannot ignore how important the act of human communication is to our species.  With adherents to all the world’s religions numbering into the billions, one can safely conclude that humans have a need to resolve that ever so important existential question that asks if God exists.

Atheist ask this question and right or wrong, even an atheist conclusion is his or her relative truth and therefore like the religious, all humans have an inherent need to know the relative truth of their beliefs.   This is an important assumption that counselors do not always take in consideration when attending clients who are invariantly project a cloaked existential dilemma hiding underneath their primary complaint.  In all its diversity, psychology today is very much like a religion having under its umbrella various schools of thought and philosophies spawned from a collective of men and women that dared to delve into creating systems of caring for the treatment of anxiety.

Void of liturgy and yet respecting of the mores that have faithfully served millions of humans for thousands of years, the science of psychology has found a way to help people from all walks of life.  Psychology is currently presented as a science that has its roots in a collective of more of modern men and women who are credited with its development. However, its development began at the start of human history with the very anxiety and its ensuing cure.

Nevertheless, psychology´s modern father — Sigmund Freud (6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939)—specialized in individual therapy developing insights on the science by interviewing people assessing them through individual case studies.  Freud’s approach, is today known as psychoanalysis.  Like religion, psychology is a system that has guided adherents how to deal with anxiety, the science of psychology has emerged into the modern world creating in its wake treatment models and developmental paradigms that help us understand the human condition while offering treatment for anxiety, a condition that has been present with humans since the dawn of recorded time.

The use of psychology is in some settings similar to the Socratic method of learning using some of its techniques exchanges such as transaction analysis to understand how anxiety is produced and reduced through the mechanics of language. In its purest sense, modern psychology is the new ¨caring guru¨ that unlike the pastor of our local church, has been known to charge three hundred dollars an hour or more to help its clientele reduce anxiety.

Even at the nominal fee of one hundred fifty dollars, psychology is still expensive for those who do not have health care to pay for therapy.  Before psychology was invented, religion, magicians, alchemists, and philosophers all had their hand at reducing anxiety and still try to some extant to meddle in the field of caring.  As such there are many sayings by historians, philosophers and leaders such as Marcus Aralias or Flavias Josephus  where we can find sayings resounding of truth that describe or depict the human condition in some sort of fashion.

However, in history few people have reduced anxiety more than a little known son of carpenter from Nazareth known as Jesus Ben Joseph whose words can be today read in the new testament.  Still a great anxiety reducer, the sermon on the mount in its day took great burdens off simple people enslaved by the heavy yokes of religion.  Jesus said, “Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke on you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light ( King James Bible Mathew 11:28-30).”  By evidence the force of God makes Jesus possible still to people around the world and Christianity, a religion more than 2000 years old.

Fundamentalist often view their dogma as the only form of thinking that can help a human in need and miraculously will succeed based on working the ―faith‖ framework that exists between two persons who believe in the same material in the same exact way.  Few fundamentalist will lend their minds to information that that feel undermines their scripture and become closed minded to the possibilities that exist to merge faith with psychology.

The tolerant professional psychologist must be sensitive to belief systems that may be appear simple or novice not excluding the possibility of its effectiveness and consider all the forces that are at work besides general logic.

In the context of any community there will inevitably arise problems of a similar nature.  Problems such as domestic violence have no cultural boundaries and occur across the board just like death and taxes two additional columns that at times also require counseling.  Though communities may differ in culture, many have in common similar domestic problems that may require the attention of a counselor.  If spiritual, a person in need of counseling will most likely seek out someone within their religious organizational structure who in most cases provides some medium to help their members with problems of a psychological nature.

Though religions are fundamentally the same when it comes to moral priorities, seldom does one see the rabbi, appreciate the efforts of the Imam or the pastor heralding instead the deeds of the pope. Nevertheless, within their members exists similar social and psychological problems in need of resolution.  The wonder and beauty of psychology is the ability to recognize and appreciate the healing as opposed to the method.

Behavioral psychologist may see value in psychoanalytic principle and possibly use the constructs of insight therapist use to help a patient that is struggling in pure behavioral therapy.  The reverse could be said of then psychoanalyst who after a couple years in psychoanalysis decides that his or her patient may need behavioral therapy to overcome a tobacco habit that is making them uncomfortable.

Comparing religion with psychology may seem to some like comparing apples with oranges, but when one considers the role of the advice giving elder with the psychotherapist, they will agree that both religion and psychology are bound by their commitment to relieve human suffering.    In terms of results, both religion and psychology have proven their worth at treating anxiety with the former having under its belt several thousand years of experience under its belt.

CHAPTER 1  Psychology today is the science that has filled in many gaps for many humans.   Few equate [it] to religion and many wish to keep it separate something that would if we did be a tragic mistake as Psychology is the culmination of religious understanding by its acceptances of all people and creeds.   Psychology and its offices are present in the most ancient of texts. All we need to do is look for it.

Few people think of Psychology in an all encompassing context meaning that it can be looked at as a science drawn from historical reference and experience.  When a person visits a psychologist they are usually suffering from anxiety of one sort or another.  The psychologist help them to resolve their anxiety by assessing their complaint, then assessing them, then drawing a conclusion as to how to proceed next.  Few us think when ponder[ing] these most basic steps how important it is to have a psychologically stable society that allows us the luxury to draw inferences from normal everyday life in order to improve our way of being.

That’s called progress.  The reflection of the average human is easily summed up by our television shows that entertain us and the news that inform us.  The style by which the news is delivered reveals a human being that likes to be treated seriously and with respect.  The show Raymond reveals an above average sports writer who does not think to highly of himself and is even a little bit insecure. Many shows put forth types and characters that people find easy to accept and even pattern themselves after.  This can also be used against people. Role models are observed, discovered and sometimes forced.  Role models remain important and every character we put forth in film to entertain, should also be thought of in terms of teaching right thinking and right behavior.

The books of the times add complexity to our character as humans as does poetry, art and film.  Civilization has advanced to the point that surrounding us is an abundance of opportunities for self reflection.  And in the same manner we can summarize a human being by today’s mediums of artistic and creative reflection, we can also sum up the human as he was in the days when Sargon the great ruled the world or when Hammurabi set in basalt his code of laws.  In the same manner people [in] Hieroglyphic markings from Egyptian temples help experts date important historical writings and theological writings that are the Torah, the five books of Moses. For example, the Exodus is an important event that took place in Egypt approximately three thousand years ago.  The story should in Egyptian archeological record.   Archeologist have since uncovered the burial tombs of two kings Seti the 1st and his son Ramses who are believed to be the players of Exodus.  Later the Torah came to be incorporated as cannon by the Catholic Church. However, it was scripture long before the advent of Jesus Christ.

The importance of the Torah to our cause is the record of Adam’s anxiety, the man described in the bible as the first human life.  The passage in Genesis chapter 2. Reads, “…and the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself (Genesis 2: verses 9,10 King James Bible).

It stands to reason with those who embrace the old book –as it is known in some circles– when a believer does something they feel is morally wrong, they symbolically return to the mythical garden aware of their nakedness before God and come to the realization that they cannot hide their deeds and must find a way to deal with the moral anxiety that may also be considered existential in nature.

Despite the simple nature of religious fundamentalists, psychologist must try to understand that simple faith is built on a framework of faith that can be very effective at resolving anxiety.  Trying to complicate them with words and techniques which for them have no meaning, may unnecessarily extend therapy when all one needs to do is understand their framework and –like psychology teaches–help them to resolve their anxiety using the skills and methods familiar to fundamentalist thought e.g what does scripture say about your problem?” Or “What would Jesus do in this situation?”

The fact that many people criticizes the bible for being inconsistent and at times contradictory does not eliminate the fact that it is still the anxiety reduction pillow of choice for billions of humans.   It may seem to some that hunting and pecking selectively for self confirming scriptures is an absurd practice, but if doing so helps reduce anxiety then why not?  Removing the authority of the bible based on contradictions, is like removing Freud’s paradigm, because his students created better models.

The point is the Torah, the Bible and even the Koran have helped billions of people cope with anxiety and a good counselor should see how important such a tool is and how to use it when confronted with a patient of simple and devout faith.  Humans despite their affiliation with religions share in common the pain that is general anxiety and all humans have suffered anxiety in one form or another.

It stands to reason then that all humans will inevitability experience anxiety and as such the need to reduce anxiety is elemental to human nature.

Toward a Hierarchy of Human Needs:

The need to care for others and to feel cared for by others has in its wake created entire institutions both religious and non religious to educated, heal, and help care for those who cannot care for themselves.  Psychology, has only recently emerged as an anxiety relieving movement with prophets of its own each of whom stand on the shoulders of one another serving as heralds of the modern era creating their wake a new form of caring free of religious affiliation.

Though priests and clerics seldom refer members to each other, it is considered ethical and good professional etiquette for a mental health professional to refer out when they feel a patient may best be helped by a specialist whose discipline is different from their own. Developmental paradigms have helped social scientist encapsulate the human condition.

They are like many of the techniques and styles that define the field of psychology today.  From existential therapy to cognitive behavioral therapy, each model has as its purpose an underlying system of assumptions that propagate a context in which a healer and patient can evolve together by developing a working relationship on parameters that are agreeable to both parties.

Abraham Maslow believed that before humans could become all that they could be, a state of being that he described as self actualization, certain criteria had to be met.  As a whole we know this to be Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs.  Maslow’s paradigm is modeled off contact with common humans and states that before one can self-actualize a person must have esteem needs, social needs, safety needs and physiological needs met.  The importance of paradigms is multifold.

They can serve as guides that reveal to us insights into human nature.  They can also serve as scales that instruct by measuring the human condition.   In pastoral counseling there is no paradigm that encompasses various needs and various unstructured methods based on creed already understood to be a spiritual staple.

Therefore coming before a catholic psychiatrist or pastoral counselor working in a religious institutional setting it helps when the patient has catholic standards embedded in his or her psychological makeup.   From a limited perspective existential therapy seems to be the main paradigm that encompasses both tools for reflection while offering treatment.  Not yet discovered –at least by this masters candidate—is a universal standard that can be applied to people of all faiths and from all walks of life.  However, we feel that a hierarchy of spiritual needs exists inherently in all humans.

Historically human cultures throughout the world have left evidence that human’s are predisposed to communicate by carving images of themselves  into rocks or painting their favorite animals inside caves such as Lascaux.  To interpret petro-glyphs or ancient paintings as being magical or religious in nature is a mistake, however, we can infer by the collective of art left by later civilizations such as Babylonia and Egypt that humans are very expressive of their spiritual beliefs.  Especially reincarnation or the “afterlife” as the Egyptians referred to it.  The land of the dead and resurrected. Osirus of Egypt was once known as both the King of the Dead and King of the resurrection.  This kinds of things like death and resurrection (being born again) are still significant in society, though the occult culture and has left an ugly interpretation of these things in the wake their teachings.  Still death and dying (an even ressurection) are fundamental to our life cycles and our psychological makeup as humans who have the need to know about what happens when you die and by itself psychology is far from comprehensive in its answer.

The intricately carved temples of India and the recent discovery of the carved soldiers in China who were buried along with the Emperor demonstrates that in even in places like China where little if any exposure to western religions, humans were drawn to belief in the afterlife.   The tendency thus for anthropological experts to read into prehistoric evidence that paintings or carvings have a magical or religious nature is not farfetched when considering the collective whole of human spiritual expression.

It can be said with some certainty that all humans have a need to communicate, but is this need in any way possessive of spiritual value?  If we are to develop a spiritual paradigm for use in pastoral counseling, we must seek to objectively understand all forms of modern psychological technique and not be afraid to admit that modern psychology may not be is original as we think.  Though psychology has today been perfected, it is a science with roots can be visibly seen in ancient texts.

However, humans have tendency to dominate a passion that creates forces of expansion and change driving civilization forward. The latest relative push is modern psychology a science born during a period some refer to as the enlightenment when philosophers such as Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and Søren Aabye Kierkegaard entered the philosophical depths to contemplate concepts used today in existential therapy.  Around the same time lived a small relatively unknown psychiatrist name Sigmund Freud who recorded his patients in case studies to give us the first developmental paradigm that defined human drives.

Ensuing, other developmental paradigms by Freud’s students wrongfully argued for supremacy, but nevertheless people still identified with Freud.  It is unfortunate that students and teachers separate when views are not shared.  As children of a new generation, those who seek to add to the science must look into conflicting worlds with objective eyes not dismissing the value of other people’s work, but looking to find bridges that connect understanding.

Chapter 2 Review of Current Literature 

The need for individual and communal balance and harmony is vital for good mental health.  In the article, Spiritual Diversity: Multi-faith Perspectives in Family Therapy  the author analyzes the growing diversity and complexity of spirituality in society and within families. In family, spiritual harmony is a vital aspect to wellness of community.

In his paper, Duffy cites the importance of the multi-faith approach in clinical training and practice arguing that individuals, couples, and families, increasingly seek to reorganize their spiritual beliefs to fit their lifestyles.    The article examines interfaith marriages and the challenges that multi-faith families face, especially in common institutions such as marriage, parenting and grief counseling.   Clinical guidelines, cautions, and case examples are also offered in order to explore the role and significance of spiritual beliefs and practices in couple and family relationships. (Duffy 2010).

The purpose of analyzing Multi-faith Faith perspectives in family therapy is to identify spiritual sources of circular distress and relational conflict; and to draw potential spiritual resources for healing, well being, and resilience, that fit client values and preferences.  A solution that involves a clinic that espouses the multi-faith approach is a necessary choice for the many couples who do not want to bring their issues before the elders of their respective congregations; however inherent conflicts are bound to arise if the practitioner is directive and attempts to work authoritatively inside a creed that he or she is not a member (Duffy 2010).

The passive practitioner may not fair to well in such a setting as people who are religious need and look for directive authority expecting the professional to know their religion at least as well as they do if not better [before] accepting their advice.  Presenting new paradigms to the religious in the contexts of spiritual or pastoral counseling is indeed a challenging proposition in of itself.  Nevertheless, one must accept that such a proposal will at first have limited appeal and referring out is always the rule of thumb when patients and therapist are incompatible. Nevertheless, the goal of creating a paradigm containing common drives and values shared by most religions, would be the procurement of successful treatment without necessarily overturning a person’s faith.  Tu such ends does The Nine Needs aspire.

Spiritual Drives:

Personal character is a composite affected by environment.  If we do not feel that we are liked e.g. the need to be confirmed in ones own person, we may become discouraged.  If we do not feel our views are respected we may with time forgo making an opinion feeling our speech might at any moment be repressed.

In ¨Spirituality, Religion, and Work Value¨ the writer explores the relationship between intrinsic religiousness to work values.  Using a sample, undergraduate college students,  researchers identified several constructs each of which correlate the value of influence and spirituality with valuing service and meaning.  To analyze the data, the researchers used a hierarchical regression analyses to reveal that the relationship among these variables are substantially moderated by gender (Duffy 2010).

That means that given the same questions, men and women seem to support the notion that gender and hormone have a great deal to do with how we as humans process information.  The experiment revealed that males possessed higher levels of spirituality moderately related to valuing influence and service, whereas in females no significant relations existed among these constructs.  Overall, researchers concluded that spirituality and religiousness may only play a minor role relative to the work values evaluated in this study.  However, researchers concluded that these connections may be stronger for men as opposed to women (Duffy 2010).

This kind of research is vital to both men and women in how they view and attach purpose to their work.  It may also determine and predict how they might project problems in a clinical setting allowing a practitioner a heuristic advantage simply by analyzing their primary information.  The article makes it evident that researchers and counselors are encouraged to continue evaluation how a client’s spiritual or religious beliefs may affect what they desire out of their career.

It would seem that according to Duffy 2006 a popular trend witnesses social scientists exploring the mechanical constructs by which a person’s religious background relates to their work life.  Research by Dik and Duffy 2009 conclude and verify that the possible assumption that that for Christians a career might be viewed as an expression of one’s faith.   For example, religious people may feel a religious calling to a specific career path.

The article also cited a 2005 study by Duffy & Blustein where mature career decision making skills were correlated with students considered as genuinely religious or spiritual in nature.  Ultimately, a paradigm describing human spiritual drives must understand life factors common to survival and how each human ties their  religious perception to their faith.  By analyzing the underlying assumptions of common religious perceptions a hierarchy of needs appears as a subjective module influenced by biochemical agents.  If the writer of the article is correct, the perceptions concerning career and religious values projected by each gender can be predicted with some certainty. If this assumption holds true we can establish that humans may have an unconscious drive toward spiritual interpretation based on hormonal makeup.  How important that is to our collective future only time will tell.

Models:

Article three is entitled ¨Models of Psychotherapy Pastoral Care Practice,‖ states that pastoral counselors are called to provide care and psychotherapeutic relief to the members of a congregation who experience the same anxieties as anyone else.  The article seeks to answer the question that addresses what resources the typical pastoral counselor relies on to make sure that he or she is doing all that they can to provide counseling to their patient  (Fredrick 2009).

The article points out that pastoral counselors often call upon standard models of psychotherapy and use them as a basis for structuring their counsel.   The article uses a framework of theological anthropology, cosmology, soteriology and harmatiology a combination relative for worldview analysis.  In short, the framework analyzes views inherent in various models of psychotherapy for use in counseling while taking into consideration cultural mechanisms that help in the application of the paradigm.   In the article, specific paradigms are used to demonstrate the application of this framework resulting in relative therapeutic implications incumbent on variables that are used to attain assessment value relative to the studies worth (Fredrick 2009).

Theoretically, the idea is forwarded that Christian counseling and soul care is considered a broad and ancient part of Christianity and is a therapy that predates the contemporary mental health professions.  The writer then shifts to modern paradigms emphasizing the importance of advanced methods and techniques for treatment exploring application variables such as when it is or is not appropriate to use a certain method.  This leads to logical conclusions that offer wisdom as to what not to use as well (Fredrick 2009).

Topics of discussion include the importance of accountability to professional bodies as an important ethical pillar to the mental health profession. This raises the challenging question of whether or not the treatment is being used in lieu of standard treatments or adjunctively. The article climaxes with a dialogue that demarcates the importance of role integration which is defined as the attempt to live faithfully both as a Christian and in a secular role that one has adopted for his or her life (Fredrick 2009).

The value to accept evolution is one that is inherently demarcated as secular by many religious people.  This is a strategy that may also be considered as a coping skill to help those in society who are intellectually challenged by the rising tide of science and that have little pastoral support to bridge the gap preferring to remain polarized in their view not wanting to abandon ship despite the feeling the hull of their faith may have holes.

Religious values that constitute a spiritual chore are in most cases fundamentally sound.  Morally speaking, Mormons, Catholics, Jewish, and Muslims etcetera, agree on many points as they relate to the nature of morality.  Exposing these will lead us to moral principle that can be useful in our understanding the ethics of presenting a hierarchy of spiritual needs and drives most can agree on.

Religion today is still very important to people and a new spiritual paradigm with no religious affiliation may not be as accepted among patients as practitioners.  Modern techniques and roles can have relative worth inside the constructs of spiritual counseling, but should be used responsibly trying to bridge gaps while showing support for the faith of the patient.

In any setting, each patient will be his or her own set of variables of conflict that must be understood within a cultural context therefore the better anthropologist a therapist is and the stronger grasp they have on all the models be they spiritual or secular, will determine their abilities as healers to procure the right method quicker and faster than if we limited ourselves to only one specialty.

This standard psychological approach of conduct and respect for the personal faiths of others will be challenged, but it is not necessary for any patient to accept a model for treatment if they do not identify with it.

God as a Healer: 

Poor health or unfair circumstances often gives rise to the need of being in control of one’s life and the need for empowerment. In the article ―God as Healer the author takes a closer look at examples of healing as provided in the Bible.  The article asserts that Christian community hardly ever speaks with one voice about any one tenet of that defines their beliefs.     According to the article, one of the most fundamental aspects of faith and standard of belief is that God heals and restores people who for whatever reason have become downtrodden in their faith (Monroe and Schwab 2009).  Despite this conclusion, it fails to recognize the solidarity among religious people, not just Christians.

Furthermore, The article makes the assertion that although people are thankful to their doctors after successful medical care has been provided, that Christians may not be as thankful as they see themselves in the hands and care of Gods perfect will.  So whether or not an operation succeeds or fails, the healer is always God who guides the surgeon’s hands and there is nothing wrong with that.  It would be the same thing if an atheist gave credit to the doctor as opposed to God he or she does not believe in.

Medical accidents that lead to deaths are interpreted differently according to level of faith.  For the Christian, Jew or Muslim, an accidental death does not mean that a bad surgery is Gods perfect will or that it was God’s perfect will to let their loved one to die.  It means that mistake or not, it was time for the person to leave this earth.  This leads some to speculate in theories of pre destination which for now are not important.  Within this same context a less spiritually mature person might not let God off the hook especially in the death of a young child (Monroe and Schwab 2009).

The article makes the assumption that Christian therapists may not feel adequately trained to choose or discern those models that best reflect and concur with their faith namely traditional Christianity and psychology is a fault for this. This however is relative assuming Christian therapists are one dimensional with no confidence in their ability to discern. Nothing universal exists that meets the satisfaction  and needs of the scientifically minded counselor and the pastoral counselor both.

The article further addresses the so called issue of the superficial use of biblical scripture and builds a thorough theological foundation of an archetype message that flows throughout the Bible with concern to healing to demonstrate and drive home the point of God heals broken people (Monroe and Schwab 2009).  Yet nothing with regards to a paradigm seems have to penetrated the counseling profession universally.

The use of the phrase ―superficial use of the bible ― by the writer is a phrase that fails to recognize the value [a] standard Christian based counseling approach [offers] one that is a very closed circuit but has produced results.  Critics must take into  account that ardent specialists in the field of psychology may sometimes act like bible believing fundamentalists, and close themselves off to outside possibilities becoming linear in their approach e.g. the behavioral therapy people some of whom feel that psychoanalysis is a waste of time.

It is a poor assumption for any counselor to take the view that the bible is insufficient to meet the psychological needs of modern humans.  Yet, this assumption is challenged by parameters that comprise a track record that extends far longer than any modern theory in psychology.  For centuries have archaic words from ancient scrolls brought comfort and healing to humanity.

The text called the bible has examples of symptoms and treatment approaches we may today describe as modern.  Anxiety and what to do with it is seen early on in the book of Genesis.  According to the writer of article four, most Christians are of the consensus that when humans aim to help others heal that behind each effort is the providence of God.

To the faithful, God and not they is accredited with a successful healing and most believe that their God is behind every effort intended to provide therapeutic or medical relief to people who are suffering (Monroe and Schwab 2009).  Clinical researchers are now more willing to talk openly about the role of spirituality in healing and in health. As a result, there is a growing body of literature suggesting that spiritual well being positively influences health and coping with illness (e.g., Plante & Sherman, 2001; Paloutzian & Park, 2005).

The multi-faith clinical setting aside, in most cases pastoral counselors are in-house counselors assigned to the task of providing members of a particular religious structure therapeutic advice that supports the beliefs of a particular faith.  Rarely do in-house counselors receive patients outside their particular congregation and are usually the exact same faith of their patients

However, inside major cities where exists a melting pot of culture, members of the same church may have very different cultural needs that require a skillful adaptive approach that take into consideration archetypes that may be conflicting with creed.  Intuition and careful evaluation of intake information will create a greater space for understanding.  The Nine Needs surpasses all efforts at creating a simple effective intake information and at the same time lays the foundation for therapy like an arrow which hits the center of its target every time.

Religious Approaches:

In “the Clinical Use of Explicit Religious Approaches” Hathaway explores important variables in our quest to further understanding in the spiritual care of humans. In the article the writer states that Christian counseling and soul care is a broad and ancient part of Christianity that predates the contemporary mental health professions.  In recent years, explicitly religious interventions have been increasingly advanced as tools for treatment and, in some cases, as entire treatment protocols (Hathaway 2009).

These approaches have been utilized by lay Christian counselors and by Christian mental health professionals. This article explores factors that may impact when it is appropriate to use such methods. Considerations include standards of evidence based practice, accountability to professional bodies, and whether the treatment is being used in lieu of standard treatments or adjunctively.The article concludes with a discussion of the issue of role integration: the attempt to live faithfully both as a Christian and in a secular role that one has adopted (Hathaway 2009).

However, pastoral counseling has been increasingly used to refer to a form of spiritually based care that is not limited to a particular faith tradition. For  instance, there are members of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors who counsel from a Buddhist perspective (Beck, 1997).

Christian care giving in its various forms has made use of the full range of available helping options throughout history for every area of human need: emotional, financial, legal, medical, etc. (Evans, 2000).

In areas that would now likely be identified as a psycho-emotional need, Christians have provided assistance using pastoral or communal support, confession, forgiveness, spiritual direction, personal prayer, intercessory prayer, deliverance ministry, and a wide variety of spiritual counseling methods including: Biblical and theological casuistry, spiritual instruction, directed self-reflection, or disputation of counter-normative ideas. In recent centuries, the modern mental health professions have arisen as a relatively secularized way of providing help to humans facing psycho-emotional and life adjustment difficulties (Millon, 2004).

The contemporary notion of mental health is itself a by-product of this modern movement. By demarcating a turf in human functioning that is not quite the focus of traditional medicine or merely a pastoral concern, the secular clinical mental health counseling professions discovered a raison d’être. Yet the boundaries between the traditional turf of soul care, on the one hand, and medicine, on the other, have not been well-defined.

Consequently, many people continue to seek assistance for issues that are the bread and butter of mental health work from religious professionals or faith communities and spiritual problems are sometimes engaged by secular mental health professionals (Danylchuk, 1992). To some extant we feel that this research forwards a conclusion that Christianity and Judaism are but a section of historical collection of writings that comprises the world’s wisdom traditions and that [that ] wisdom’s therapeutic value is vastly understated.

Nevertheless , the constructs for the psychological well being of society in the form of texts that may be described as pastoral care are evident in many cultures.  One only need to look at scripture and historical text with the eyes of modern psychology to see that in various cultures there exists material that has kept humans living in different parts of world relatively stable psychologically for thousands of years; and we have to scratch the surface as to how our world has survived without our expertise in modern psychology.

Culture is thus the successful pathology of a people created by customs and traditions whose foundations are built on constructs we today call mythology (a hypothesis of true morally based stories conveyed to keep us morally grounded)   If this is true, each saga or myth ever written can be seen as an instrument of homeostasis or the reflection of pathology considered abnormal and not accepted into society.   Most interesting are cultures not mentioned in western religious texts which today are as moral and as successful as any bible believing nation ever was. Homeostasis is the tendency to resist change towards abnormal behavior in order to maintain a stable psychologically morally balanced life inside like minded community.  Good morals are hard to change permanently and they polarize easy in humans at any age.

Chinese constructs include, but are not limited to the works of Confucius a teacher of moral law.  In Confucius, we can see a genuine pastoral care and concern for moral condition of humanity. All cultures have creation myths and folk tales that deal with the inherent need that all humans have and that is to believe in something greater than ourselves.

Legends and myths are in the purest sense the building blocks of moral stability in culture and the essence of how people resolve certain forms of anxieties.  In many cultures, death anxiety is reduced by the ritual of ancestor worship.  Few things create more anxiety than death so it should not be surprising that in place are natural psychological constructs that have helped society evolve and mature.

Chapter 3 Research, Findings and Conclusions:  The area of pastoral psychology is one that has little regulation outside the defined parameters of the religious institution that the pastoral counselor works within.  For example a pastoral counselor working within the Loyola Marymount University system will be expected to abide by the religious protocols defined by his or catholic superiors and will be different than the protocols of a pastoral counselor from Brigham Young University. Individual practitioners with no religious affiliation also attend to members with religious backgrounds who for whatever reason do not feel comfortable using their cognations pastoral resources to discuss their issues.

We feel that our paradigm The Nine Needs all Humans Have can be used by all counselors as an additional insight tool that seeks [to] help the patient within their own framework asking all the while which of the needs is not being fulfilled in their lives.  Human anxiety can be caused by many things especially a lack of respect and the nine needs seek to find which avenue(s) in the human are not being fulfilled.

In the The Nine Needs we begin the process by helping the patients achieve fulfillment in the most basic of areas before tackling any other problems that may be considered of a more serious nature.  The need for a universal paradigm that defines human needs above those described by Maslow is the next step in our understanding of the human condition.  Maslow –upon whose shoulders we stand—developed a hierarchy of human needs that is archetypal for our study.  An important and insightful work, Maslow proposed that the end of all ends for the human is self-actualization.

By Maslow’s standards, some humans, especially in poor countries, never reach or even have opportunities to self actualize.  By comparison, The Nine Needs sets no level of achievement rather serving as a barometer of human understanding that hopes to solve simple complexes that lead to the formulation a serious treatment approach and saving time in the process.

The Nine Needs essentially answers the question, “what do you lack?  Or what is lacking in your life?  The method more efficiently and thoroughly overrides the established method that asks, “ïf I had magic wand and could make any wish come true what would it be, by establishing the answers to each of The Nine Needs inside every person’s presenting complaint.

The Nine Needs: Anthropology, the written history of the planet, and the archeological record, teaches us that humans have an inherent drive to find answers and solutions to problems and questions raised by increasingly more intellectual civilizations.  As we know, problems arise from complications that occur naturally or artificially. The result is that all problems create anxiety. In response, humans have created rituals, laws and techniques to help them deal and cope with anxiety.  The one anxiety experienced throughout history and that has left its mark on the human anthropological record is the need to know how the world was created. This might be considered an existential anxiety.

Another anxiety is that which is the product of immorality. As a result humans have invented legends to tell their children at night and affect moral balance in society creating an order by which people can live moral and just lives. In many cultures society always seems to find a way to balance thanks in part to the role of religion the many that exist in the world today as the cultural expressions of a humans who are thankful to the balance they received as a result of their culture or their religion’s moral code.

Psychology and Sociology have joined the care network and both in their own manner try to understand the human condition and offer solutions to the problems that cause human anxiety.  Psychology is purposed to reduce anxiety in the human psyche while Sociology seeks to understand the dynamics of group principle.  Modern psychology is the most modern attempt helping a complex society move into the future, but we must not forget our biblical and historical roots for in them is the unavoidable fact that humans have successfully thrived and functioned using the simple phrases that we call scripture to reduce anxiety.

The same have inspired men and women to create great civilizations and moral codes. From the study of human record we can surmise that within successful working societies that all humans no matter what religion share in common basic needs after employment, food, shelter and clothing have been met. These needs have spiritual dimensions but are not categorically religious.  These needs deal with aspects of anxiety that involve communication, acknowledgement, caring, confirmation, respect, community, control and empowerment. Theoretically, the answer to common anxiety may be a deficit in any of the following nine needs:

1. Need to communicate with others.

2. Need to resolve the existential question to ones satisfaction

3. Need to care for others and to feel cared for by others

4. Need to know relative truth of one’s beliefs

5. Need to feel ones views are respected

6. Need to be confirmed in ones person

7. Need for individual and communal balance and harmony

8. Need to be in control of one’s life

9. Need for empowerment.

With great confidence we can forward that these needs are the quintessential in all humans.  Their absence may be an indication of pathology.  Spiritual fatigue may be reflected in the absence of reciprocity for the care one has given and may be wrongfully labeled as an anxiety.  Treatment of spiritual-fatigue not being a classified DSM IV TR may involve a circular analysis of relationship patterns. Spiritual fatigue may also lead to depressive disorder.

We feel that this diagnosis is important to pastoral counseling because of principle that humans need to feel cared for whether or not they are religious or spiritual.

What we are inheriting

FACT: The world of cults, freemasons, vatican magicians, top secret military intelligence gathering, and human trafficking leave in their wake many victims, slaves, and poorly documented, falsely documented or undocumented humans.

FACT: Dysfunctional families that perpetuate bad coping strategies can also produce humans that share similar “dysfunctions” as children that are victimized by atheism, magical society, freemasonry et al.

FACT: When children or adults, are passed around for sexual reasons, their needs to communicate and to belong are not fully realized to their positive extent.

Notes: Quod dictum est in notitia opus est attendere

The Nine Needs Expounded

The nine needs are built in survival mechanisms if any of them are missing, there is motive for greater intervention and therapy.        

1.    Need to communicate with others.

All humans have the need to communicate.  Even animals need to communicate and have a sense of community.  If our loved ones or guardians facilitate good communication skills in us as children we are prone to develop  healthy, confident personalities.   Good communication with children is done early in a child’s life.  But with adopted troubled children, a parent will have to be a passive listener for a while and try in a lovingly manner to provoke conversation if the child is prone to silence.  Once communication with a troubled child is achieved both the parent and the child or adolescent are practicing the art of “active listening” and “perception checking.”   And training the child or adolescent to understand to react to his world in the adult position in “transactional analysis” will give them great mastery of their communcative relationships without hurting the feelings of their friends.

Transaction analysis breaks down the way we argue and respond into three categories:

A. Example A. the Child Position,  Adults and Children can find themselves in this position when arguing with their spouses, friends or children.   Two adults arguing in the child position get no where.  For example.  I know I am right about marijuana and you are wrong:  Child Response by an Adult:  No your wrong and I am right.  This is a complementary child position in a fixed state and does not change, but can be affected by the Parent position look at example B.

B. Example B. The Parent Position:  I am your Father and you have to obey me and marijuana makes you lazy minded.  You have to stop, go to medical school and there is nothing you can do about it ( This can foster resentment in the child )  See Example C an Adult response

C. Example C”  The adult inherently knows he or she is right in the argument so a good response to a child in this might be.  I understand that there are successful and famous people who smoke marijuana and drink scotch that you admire, but I can assure you that if you want to be famous and successful like them, you are going to have to go to University and smoking marijuana is going to hinder you ability to study, and drinking will hurt you even worse, but its your choice.   Did you ever think of the possibility that your idols may have started smoking after they finished University?

“Active listening” is a mature form of listening and human empathy.  This ability if realized in a good, healthy and constructive manner, can help us to develop into positive thinking productive beings with a healthy confidence about ourselves.  Communication with others helps to form healthy or unhealthy attachments the latter being the tool of those that support racial and magical agendas.  Magic and slavery have historically been associated as partners of a common cause.  Now Aryan supremacy has joined the fold.  But imagine the life of a sex slave that lives alone in a cell and who when pulled from that cell to provide services are physically restricted from talking against their will.  Their need to communicate frustrated for too long might even subdue them from seeking escape especially if conditioned from an early age. Such a problem is more common than we can imagine due to the problems that exist with child traffickers who specialize in denying children or humans constructive therapeutic communication. This cold hearted strategy used by occultists to begin classical conditioning that would be in violation of a person’s human rights.  Denying communication is a step in making a human a slave.

2. Need to resolve the existential question to ones satisfaction.   E.g. Does God exists? 

The existence of God is still a hot topic, specially for Atheist who aim to prove that God does not exists and some Atheist are very well educated.  What confounds this need in people are the educators who believe in atheism or who have agnostic beliefs.   The existence of Atheistic  Medical Doctors, Psychiatrists, Psychologists,  Lawyers, Rich Industrialists, Scientists, Astronomers, Physicists and educators in general who argue for Atheism or Agnostic beliefs is proof that we have amidst us a very determined educational conspiracy who has a very poor frame of reference.  There existence is a like a socio-psychological reaction.  They are more like a product of the violent world in which they were raised.   This paradigm in their hands might suffer their bias.  This need to resolve the existential question to ones satisfaction only exists because of a conspiracy to educate God out of our world.  This conspiracy created men and women who have no basis by which to believe in God.  However even given ideal circumstances and upbringing, part of our make up as humans is to reexplain God to each other generation after generation making this need an essential drive.

3. Need to care for others and to feel cared for by others. 

Mommy and Daddy’s little helper?  This phenomena is inherent and occur in children at very early stages of their lives.  Kids wanting to help their parents is a good sign that they have been cared for properly and nurtured.  But it happens anyway even if the parents were not the greatest parents.  It is an inherent need that develops and becomes more complicated with time.  The next thing you know mommy and daddy’s little helper is working toward become a social worker or a nurser or doctor.  In almost every job, one can fill this need or seek its fulfillment.

Absence of this need to care for others is a sign that the child was raised by a parent who either rejected their offers of help or did not care for them or nurture them properly.  When a young child offers to help it is also a sign that they want or expect reciprocity care in return.  Thus an uncaring parent getting harassed by their kid all the time is call for care.

Wanting to be loved by those we invest our love also relates to acceptance and attachment values.

Attachment values are formed at a young age the rule of thumb being we attach to those things that accept us the best.   Once we feel sufficiently and adequately loved be it any age the desire to give back kicks in.  And if we care for others from any other standpoint, the care that exudes from us may not be genuine, feel forced, or un-gratifying

4. Need to know relative truth of one’s beliefs.

Does what I believe in have any value or meaning?  Atheists sometimes come to a fork in the road that requires them to admit that without God, their creed would lack meaning and value depending on how they interpret Atheism.  But sociology teaches us that we hang out with people and form groups for just this very purpose to be confirmed in our beliefs whatever they might be.   Being confirmed in your beliefs whatever they may be relates innately to wanting to boost your self esteem and thats a good thing.

After being rejected by the Art School in Vienna,  in the book  Mein Kampf (English: My Struggle or My Battle) Adolf Hitler went from political group to political group until he found his niche and gained acceptance in the Nazi party.   He visited group after group and attended many different kinds of meetings where he gathered in a lot of information.  He found comfort in his beliefs in the Nazi party which reflected his educational upbringing to the strongest degree a militant furthering of the goals of the master race, a group competing against the newly formed Russian white supremacy communist party.  In the case of Hitler, he worked to confirm relative truth of his beliefs.  People’s beliefs however are subject to change and each case they work their social circles subtly and directly always looking for comfort in the relative truths of what they believe in.

5. Need to feel ones views are respected.

This value can differentiate people from free and dictatorial societies or free and enslaved atmospheres.  This value if measured can assess the level of respect that has been invested in the patient as a human.

6. Need to be confirmed in ones person. All humans matter, do I?

Is the question that humans walk around measuring every day.  This I like you–you like me thinking can be reinforced in a controlled environment for children or adults who are the victims of human slavery via human trafficking.   Our need for inner confirmation is derived by believing in ourselves and is usually the expression of collective whole of others who believe in us or not.  Rare is the man or women who believes in themselves who was raised a slave or in a negatively controlled environment.  Since a child is born, they cling to their parents.  Daily they need to be confirmed.

7. Need for individual and communal balance and harmony

The need to have and belong in a family is an elastic human characteristic that people use to form and gain acceptance into new families, groups and environments.  In environments that are always changing the human learns to adapt quickly to others.   

8. Need to be in control of one’s life.

At different times in life humans are faced with challenges that look to undermine their freedom or self esteem.  These challenges can occur at each level of schooling, in each grade and with each relationship that we either succeed or fail in.  This is a drive that helps people to swim in the water’s of uncertainty into which life sometimes forces us to dive into.

9. Need for empowerment. 

Humans get a job to be empowered with money in order to forge an acceptable lifestyle relative to their surroundings.  Humans get degrees and attend University with expectation of being empowered by self-gratification, a high salary, or a job promotion.  Restrictive environments run counter to this need.  Even pacifists, priests and nuns have a need for empowerment.  Humans look for empowerment in a variety of ways and use a variety of strategies.

The Tenth Need

The Tenth Need: Unlike paradigms where humans become, we feel that the nine needs are a cycle of needs and drives inherent in all humans. Then there is the tenth need something not all humans possess a drive to attain.  The tenth need is the need to make a difference in the world.  Many religious people understand and live in tenth need.

This is evident by the fact that many religions have adherents that go out of their way to minister to others in impoverished neighborhoods or abroad in third world countries setting up food banks and soup kitchens or building nursing homes to care for seniors in foreign countries that are challenged economically.   We cannot include the tenth need as an absolute, because it is not necessary for one’s personal balance.

The tenth need is going that extra mile not required by any of our civil laws today.  It is also not the measure of perfect morality; nevertheless, it is a personal choice to serve a purpose that is greater than us.  The tenth need is putting the needs of others ahead of one’s own and can be exacted at any time in our journey toward wellness of health and spirit.

The tenth need is the drive has created all that is magnificent and with it comes the secret that is revealed only those who brave its depths.  For the most part, humanitarians are healthy people who have settled their issues sufficiently and are comfortable with the idea of putting the needs of others ahead of their own.

However, humans who live in the tenth need are as healthy and as clear thinking as those who believe that it is not necessary to go the extra mile.  In other words healthy psychological pathology is not dependent on whether or not someone arrives at the tenth need.   However, to the religious, to serve over and above the call of duty is reward unto itself that seeks nothing else than the tender smile, embrace, and approval of God with hope of one day being acknowledged as a good and faithful servant.

There may be the occasional atheist who goes that extra mile, but without believing in something greater than them, they are resolved to the feelings of personal satisfaction that comes with doing a good deed.   Inclusion of all human beliefs should be the goal of a perfect psychological paradigm that attempts to describe a general consensus that we feel exists in humans as drives considered spiritual in nature and that are shared by the religious and non religious alike.
