Jeffrey Allen, Author of Mindvalley’s Unlocking Transcendence Program, explains it thisway: As you start to work with energy, you get to know the part of you that’s bigger than your body. There’s so much more to you than your physical body. As you tap into that, you start to love yourself more, appreciate yourself more. You see the bigger picture. The brighteryou. What Is SpiritualTranscendence?

This type of experience can happen anywhere, at home, at your place of worship, out in nature — you nameit.

3. Spiritual transcendence offers us a glimpse of something beyond — something intangible but very real that urges us to drastically alter our perception of theworld. What Is Self-Transcendence Theory? Self-transcendence theory was first proposed by researcher Pamela Reed. She suggested that people operate as open systems who keep themselves from self-transcendence with self-made obstacles and boundaries. She believed that conceptual boundaries fluctuate as a result of human experience. When these boundaries fluctuate, our traits and characteristics are invariably altered.

4. Self Transcendence In Maslow’s New Hierarchy OfNeeds Back in the 1940s, American psychologist Abraham Maslow spent an extensive amount of time studying people who had attained great success, like Albert Einstein and EleanorRoosevelt. He believed that every human has specific needs and that these needs are hierarchical. Each subsequent need can only be addressed after the need below it has beensatisfied. This theory came to be known as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs which consists of 5stages. Later on in his life, Maslow actually added a sixth and final stage in his hierarchy of needs. He called this stageself-transcendence. Maslow explained that self-transcendence is the need to connect with something bigger than ourselves: Transcendence refers to the very highest and most inclusive or holistic levels of human consciousness, behaving and relating, as ends rather than means, to oneself, to significant others, to human beings in general, to other species, to nature, and to thecosmos. Maslow recognized the importance of transcendent experiences. And he knew that those experiences played a big role in what motivates us toward higher aspirations as humanbeings.

5. What Are The 5 Levels Of Maslow’s Hierarchy OfNeeds? Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs consists of 5levels: Physiological The first and most essential need is physiological, which includes food, water, and rest. We must eat, drink, and sleep tosurvive. Safety The second need is safety. This includes physical safety from war, natural disasters, and violence, but it also includes emotional and psychological safety from abuse, post-traumatic stress, and emotional trauma. Love andBelonging The third need is for love and social belonging. We need to feel as if we are a part of a group or tribe. Human beings are innately social creatures. Our need for belonging includes family, friends, social circles, professional organizations, sports teams, and onlinecommunities.

6. Esteem The fourth need is for self-esteem. We need to feel that we are respected members of our group and that our contributions areacknowledged. There are two types of esteem: the esteem we receive from others and the esteem we receive from ourselves,self-esteem. Self-Actualization The fifth need is for self-actualization. At this level, we are able to realize our full and complete potential. We are free to become the person we were always meant to be. We recognize ourselves for who we really are and feel safe and comfortable in our ownskin. On this level, we pursue self-expression in all its forms. We develop our talents and pursue higher spiritual goals. We allow our inner creativity tothrive. What Does Maslow’s Hierarchy Of NeedsMean? Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs helps us understand our inner drives and motivations. What goals we pursue have a lot to do with what need we are currently trying tomeet.

7. When something is lacking, we work to try and attain what we’re missing, whether it be somewhere to sleep, social connectivity, or an experience that opens ourperceptions. Why Is Maslow’s TheoryImportant? Maslow’s Theory is important for us to understand, not just at the individual level, but at the level of community andtribe-building. In fact, this hierarchy is absolutely essential for those in a position of authority over others. Understanding what others need can help you best serve their interests, as well as take care of yourown. What Happens If Maslow’s Needs Are NotMet? When a certain need isn’t met, we feel the lack. We feel lesser than, incomplete, depressed, anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed. People cannot move to the next levels in their lives until the needs of the lower levels are satisfied. We cannot think about the ways to achieve self- actualization if we are struggling to put bread on ourtable. You likely have a good idea of where you are in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs simply by looking at what goals are of the utmost importance to you in your life rightnow.
