 Maslow Self Actualization - unlearn.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Maslow asked his subjects to think of the most wonderful experience or experiences of their lives--the happiest moments, extatic moments, moments of rapture, perhaps from being in live, or from listening to music or suddenly "being hit" by a book or a painting or from some great creative moment.
Maslow says there are two processes necessary for self-actualization: self exploration and action.
Maslow believed that not only does the organism know what it needs to eat to maintain itself healthy, but also man knows intuitively what he needs to become the best possible, mentally healthy and happy "being".

Probably the most famous humanistic theorist is Abram Maslow who postulated a hierarchy of needs the individual must fulfill in the growth process.
According to Maslow, one must fulfill the lower needs before progressing to the higher levels of the hierarchy (feeling good about yourself doesn't do much for you if you're starving).
According to Maslow, most people are never self-actualized (we are always growing!), and most of us are spending our time at stages 3 and 4 personality-wise.

 ContentDesk.com - free articles on General Self Improvement and Motivation: The Meaning of the Marital Covenant
God’s Covenant with Abraham In the book of Genesis God makes the amazing promise to give Abram (who together with his wife Sarai had given up on having their own children) that he will be blessed with descendants as numerous as the stars in heaven.
Interestingly, both Abram and Sarai are shortly thereafter referred to as Abraham and Sarah, thus signifying the change in identity that occurs as a result of entering into a covenantal bond.
Shortly after, Abram goes into a “deep sleep.” “Then the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking firepot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.” (Gen 15:17).

 Brandeis University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brandeis has had an impressive list of coaches for its athletic teams, from Bud Collins and the men's tennis team in the late 1950s and early 1960s to K.C. Jones leading the men's basketball squad in the 1960s to the more recent tenure of Chris Ford.
Einstein objected to what he thought was excessively expansive promotion, and to Goldstein's sounding out Abram L. Sachar as a possible president without consulting Einstein.
Six years later, Einstein would decline the offer of an honorary degree from Brandeis, writing to Brandeis president Abram L. Sachar that "what happened in the stage of preparation of Brandeis University was not at all caused by a misunderstanding and cannot be made good any more."

The brand is at risk, in crisis, and has an immanent tendency to victimhood; but it must at the same time come to the aid of human beings who themselves have moved from Abram Maslow’s ‘perpetually needy animal’ to today’s stressed-out, diminished selves.
It was Maslow who distinguished between the higher needs of man, for self-actualisation and self-esteem, and the lower, ‘safety needs’ of man – whose ‘whole organism’ he described as a ‘safety-seeking mechanism’.
Unlike his vulgarisers, however, Maslow was anxious to observe that the hierarchy he posited was ‘not nearly as rigid as we may have implied’.

One must be careful of drawing parallels with human behaviour from what Abram Maslow, founder of his own Humanistic Psychology, called derisively ‘the psychology of desperate rats’; he could see little relevance to humans in watching what animals did when starved, electrocuted, bewildered and miserable.
But to the degree that humans also feel pain, confusion, bewilderment and frustration, I think it is allowable to make certain connections, where the demonstration is compelling, as in this case.

 The Poly Post - Story   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
  Psychologist Abram Maslow developed a model on basic human needs called Maslow’s Hierarchy.  The needs are placed in five categories that must be satisfied in order to exist;  physiological (food and water), protection, belongingness, esteem (self-respect, status), and self-actualization (developing to one’s full capacity).
 After Maslow’s death, psychologists added a new category — altered consciousness.  This sixth category can be achieved by reading a book, experiencing a thrill-seeking activity, prayer or meditation, and maybe the most popular: drugs.
Any activity that removes you from some sense of reality and draws you into fantasy or imagination is considered conscious adjusting.

Dr Clare W. Graves (a post-doctoral student of Dr. Abram Maslow) postulated that human societies develop - and regress - in predictable ways; and explored the underlying codes that shape human nature and drive evolutionary change.
