A Deficit of Basic Needs: Tier 1
6
‘Not enough comes in’
- Basic needs should be met literally by
caregivers
- If they are NOT met then they are never
internalised into self-reliance
- Because the need is not countershaped, the
need ‘goes on forever’ and can haunt adult life
- So unmet needs can lead to Omnipotence
SLIDE 7
Trauma: Tier 2
7
‘Too much comes in’
- Boundaries have been broken
- Pilot is damaged
- Forces of power and vulnerability break loose
- So a consequence of trauma can be
Omnipotence
SLIDE 8
Holes in Roles: Tier 3
8
‘Too much goes out, too soon’
- Before the child’s own basic needs have been met
- Igniting forces of compassion and justice in the child before sufficient
Pilot is established
- The ‘Hole in Role’ is being filled unconsciously by the child, flowing
- ut without Limits
- Resulting in distrust of subsequent outer authority figures
- Often manifests as inability to receive, alongside limitless impetus to
‘give’ which borders on Omnipotence

Genetic Nature Makes Demands
I. Satisfy Basic Needs - Develop and mature
- II. Integrate and Unify Polarities of Being - Own and harmonize
genetic, neurological, sensori-motor, behavioral and symbolic dialectics
- III. Develop Consciousness - Know the meaning of our lives
- IV. Develop our “Pilot” - Coordinate what we feel, think, decide
and act on
- V. Realize our Uniqueness and Potentiality -Become who we are
