sparring a current ufc fighter Rory McDonald, we were even at first but he caught me and i hit the canvas, i got up and finished the round, but everything seem brighter and more vivid. Although he beat me in that round i felt really good seeing as i am not a professional fighter, i went toe to toe with somebody that is.
Love this self improvement topic and I think that a informative and educated woman in attire and demeanuer delivering thought provoking subject matter is stimulating and very sexy. Some how! Maybe I just nee a good white girl friend with privalages. Help!:*)
After completing my first marathon I felt like I finally was free, alive, I felt conected some how with the rest of the world, I was even aware of every breath i took, I some how felt that I was one with the universe and everyone around me. So now I am going to run my second marathon in a week. I hope it feels the same...
u must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste to be saved
I've had some religious peak moments, but most of the ones I can think of are when I think about how beautiful my son is in every way and it's so wonderful I can almost not stand it.
My first peak experience was skydiving when i was 17. It made me feel and see the whole life different afterwards. I also had so many other good and BAD peak experiences as well. maybe i should call bad ones trauma? I dont think I have PTSD but I am positive that I have ADHD. one of the reason I loved skydiving more than I should of is I believe my ADHD. Cos it was a moment I was concentrated only on thing and one thing only.
My peak experince was a bang from my past I was really crashed on the floor I felt I was nothing and I was so little in this world, for some reason I started to feel myself; I accepted I was weak and there were things I wasn't able do anything about them. It was also acompained with a feeling of love that healed my soul. I started to see my bad feelings, my bad self, some kind of good/bad man but at the end you can take right/wrong decision. Before that I always believed myself a good guy.
scoring a goal for the school football team was i think the best moment of my life! felt very fufilled! felt amazing joy which was sadly not shared particularly by the rest of the team who weren't overly spirited but we did loose 7-1.
I was watching a movie earlier and morgan freeman said, "no one wants to die alone.." and i thought to myself, I just don't want to die unfullfilled. I came here bored, just looking up random psychology videos since that's what interests me and found this. Now I'm glad I found something to help me figure out how to fullfill myself.
Peak experience: Last year my father passed away after a 15 year struggle with heart and lung disease. The night he passed away, I walked out of the hospital doors- having just taken part in the most beautiful and painful moment of my life- feeling overwhelmed with an emotion I can only relate to as 'pure love'. I was as vulnerable as you get, and equally as hopeful and inspired. I wrote more about my transformation in a blog you can read at walkbesideyou.blogspot.com
I have had a peak experience: When I realised I could work and travel the world for myself. I was 18 and decided to go to NewYork for the weekend. It was spontanious but I felt great walking through the airport on my own, seeing different people and seeing life through my own eyes with my own thoughts. Without someone (parents) telling I should do this or that.
@Penetenziagete You mean proven? Well, "theories can never be proven they can only be dis-proven" according to my Geology teacher. I.E. The THEORY of Relativity, the THEORY of gravity, or the big bang THEORY.
early in the morning i was walking from one relative's house to another's. and i just stopped breathed what seemed like the cleanest air i ever breathed and looked around me. i just felt like i was there, and i really wanted to be.
I like your explanation of Maslow's psychology. I think you are getting more hit for the women's beautiful poses in the clips than honest people looking for understanding self.
shit woman you helped me so much to understand this maslow stuff cause ive beeen so lost and it was fustrating me to the max cause im studying him than teaching him to my class and i was just not understanding this till i saw this video THANK YOU! :)
All my life it seems like I've been held back and I'm 26. Everytime I achieve something such as graduating from college something always comes along to take away from my happiness. I want to find someone or a group of people that can help me reach self actualization. I'm in the Sacramento area at the moment.
I became very sick withextreme paripheral neuropathy,idiopathic,,,the doctors just kept giving me more and more medicines,painkillers,till I ended up in hospital bed with no life at all..To make thisstory short, I went off all the medicines,and regained my life,,but i learned so much while I was there,,about how precious life is, and how we must not waste a min. The Doctors say now I have a miracle,I am well, I know better, as I laid there and thought, I got rid of the garbage in my mind
I'd have it In a clasic concert. Byt the old woman at my left side didn't stop of making nousing for four music pieces so........... she ruined it all. (young man bodering by a such a nasty old woman, in a Orchesta and choir clasic concert )
my peak experience, after following the suggestions of a spiritual teacher- performing practices like meditation and yoga for a few years, and having an intense desire to know what life is for, I had some blissful experiences of being connected with the universe and this was also scary and brought up a lot of wonder about what my lifes purpose was. I felt I was alone, more so than ever before but I had the benefit of all that was offered by my Guru....

I was meditating in nature. It was my first sustained experience as the true self. No thoughts but extreme awareness. A new presence and aliveness in everything that I saw. Accompanied with a profound sense of oneness with all of it.
I just had to stop trying to get there and realize the ever-presence of the experience.
@seeingsound Hello, I just read your comment about your Peak-Experience, and I wanted you to know I feel as you feel and have felt what you felt. Are you still in the moment? And can you lead your day with that? I am very excited for your experience and just wanted to know if you have ridden the wave of thoughts that come with knowing? Overwhelming at first the power of thoughts. What guided action are you taking? Can you attract at will? Are you prone to spontaneous outbursts of action?
@gojumpin2 Im in the moment whenever I remember to be.I still find myself having a few drinks daily to balance the craziness of the world and the lives that we`re supposed to lead, but I would say (as paradoxical as it is) over time the mind and body re-condition themselves.My integral life practice has body components, spirit and mind.Ken Wilbers work is really encouraging in that regard.Mostly I try to be aware as often as possible - that is to say watch from the standpoint of the true self
pushing my boundaries brings these experiences on....
Usually while rockclimbing. always when i'm out on the edge of what im capable of, or pulling off a daring move where death is possible if i screw up.
Colin willson talks about this guy who was depressed and decides to play russian roulette. He grabs the revolver puts in a bullet, spins the chamber, points it at his head and pulls the trigger.
It clicks and the guy experiences immediate enlightenment or peak experience. Extreme or what....

Pain and pleasure, mental or physical, are part of a continuum... The nihilist philosopher, Frederich Nietzsche in his book, "Twilight of Idols," wrote: What does not kill you makes you stronger. Understanding this, I feel, is at root of what is to be self-actualized. It is not a state; rather a transitory moment. Living in the moment, as it where. This moment could be "transitory or infinite" depending on your perspective.
im like the opposite of this video. im a security guard who dug my social life a grave, im bored all the time, dont eat or sleep well cause of odd hours, dont do anything except work or watch tv. i tried to go back to school, but my idiot supervisor failed to move me into an open post with better hours, and instead hired a new person. i pretty much suck : )
life changing moments high in meaning and value arent always our happiest. This seems odd to me, since the avoidance of suffering and the seeking of joy is usually the driving force behind this "peak experience" search. PEAK EXPERIENCE?:I was in love with this girl, brought her breakfast and we ate on her bed. My worldveiw and life was in transition then. I had the feeling I could make anything happen, and my days would always be better from that moment on
Being in this self actualization is as you dicribe a bit scary being helpless in a way but also letting go and just embraceing the moment can bring a calm felling i can deniy.Bliss in its glory knowing your not what you own , or how you dress , or what you drive.
i don't really think that it is possible to be able to discover oneself indefinitely since we are constantly a growing product of our surroundings. This is a fine video, but she lost me when she said that having the peak experiences is when you are closest to who you are. We are who we are when we are happy and unhappy. the things that upset us are as much of a part of who we are as the things that make us happy
@sammanslap You know, you can have a peak experience with something you don't like. Say, like losing a close friend or failing an important exam. I think we are closer to ourselves when we are more open and these peak experiences tend to open ones self.
USA your country has been stolen by the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK since 1913!! Do your research, get angry and stop paying your taxes on mass, storm the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK or vote Ron Paul to kick them out are your only options!!
Snowboarding. Floating through powder snow after hiking to the summit. Nothing else matters during those turns except pure, real, natural fun. Thanks for your videos. Thanks Maslow!
would an epiphany-like feeling be something of a peak experience? once, i was just in deep thought, not really paying attention to my surroundings, and i saw a water drop hit the puddle. as the ripples came to the edges of the puddle i felt i was something important, in a really big thing-in the universe. like without me it would in some way never be the same. like i was part of sometihng amazing. is that something like a peak experience, or something?
@sirkle69doom yes we are all connected in a way we are all put in a place for a reason and we meet certain people for a reason as well. everyone plays a role on this planet even the bad the ones.
@sirkle69doom maby its because u havent realized ur purpose some peoples roles aren't realized untill somtime later in there life. like mine is helping people in need of answers. so dont worry ur time will come.
Another was a shroom trip where I had a vision I will not cheapen by attempting to describe here. Another was an opium-enhanced chakra meditation. Another was earlier today when I listened to the Beatles. Another was when I discovered how to really listen to Jimi Hendrix. Another was a concert I played that brought down the house. Man, I've had some peak experiences. So where am I...un-actualized...hmmm...thanks for these videos.
going to the desert (i'm from the Midwest) and realizing, through encountering sand and stone and desolation, that civilization is artificial, that nature doesn't need us, that life is brief and small and insignificant when compared to the cosmos. The desert is overwhelming and makes you confront the physical world and your physical self. Survival is a triumph. Nature is not generous or benevolent. I learned to savor being alive, because life doesn't have to be.
I have felt this, mostly during my first concerts. It was something i never thougth i could do but on the scene i realised how easy it was. Also while listening to deep conscious music, or studying spirituality, religions etc... And finally during a very big riot i went to.
I find it a shame how some parents or people around you thrive to destroy every bit of esteem you got in you (especially when you are young), creating shy and low esteem people who think they have very small potential while in fact EVERYONE can be like Ghandi or MartinLutherKing.
By the way, any so called self realisation that requires physical capabilities such as being a MWA fighter, being a very effective soldier, being a sports champion are just illusions. The real enlightment happens on a mental and spiritual plane.
My peak experience was running away from home when I was 18. This wasn't any ordinary runaway. I had planned this since I was 16, and after two years and a month of planning, I finally left home for college, and haven't looked back to my horrible parents or family ever again. And there was this moment, when I was at Rehoboth Beach the day I left, staring a the eastern horizon in sunset thinking just how amazing everything was, about how everything laid before me, and realizing that I had done it
@PhoenixWiki I'm just wondering... You said that you ran away at 18 & did not look back. How long ago was this? Have you seen or heard from your parents since then? What is your relationship like now?
Riding with 6 jockeys on a flamenco lagun and enourmous sandbeach in north africa, living with the local family there.
Working with huskies in lapland, driving with a eightdog sledge trough the snowy mountains and sun... allso difficult experiences in the very moment seem afterwardslike a rewarding thing...
Peak experience to me can be felt when taking a shower after a good work out at the gym. I also feel it in Ramadhan when I break the fast after a whole day of fasting. I feel this peak experience when I travel to new places (North African desert or Atlas Mountains) and when I meet new people who can speak one of the foreign languages that I speak
I feel I have "peak Experiences" every time I'm able to place a piece of information into my own understanding of undeniable truth.
The moment my perception "clicks" and i see the world that much clearer is indescribable. I usually can't help but laugh because what was hard becomes easy
There's almost always this unique sensation i feel in my chest I've never been able to understand until now.
Speaking in tongues falls under all those descriptive terms you listed. I appreciate the fact that you discuss how psychology can view these experiences as manic. I once went to a psychologist and told him about my peak experiences communicating with the divine and that is exactly what he said it was. Obviously I didn't go back to that psychologist.
The fact is that Mushrooms and other sacred substances were put here by God to give devoted knowledge seekers a little nudge in the right direction. Just because 99.9% of Earths population is not going to gain enlightenment this time around...AND because they don't understand the Manna, doesn't mean devoted truth seekers don't gain exceptional wisdom and enlightenment through these plants.
Not a bad lecture though our composed, black-clad expert failed to note the social, economic and political barriers to self actualisation. Children have many peak experiences which are usually squeezed out by straightjacket education and socialisation. A psychotic episode is more different from a peak experience than a duck is to a cygnet ;) and you'd have to be prettty superficial to not notice the difference. Psychosis disables the individual, peak experience is liberating.
I believe I have had a Peek Experience. I was out gazing at the stars. I remember thinking to myself how very small and insignifigant I was looking up at the vast vault of the heavens. Then at the same time a strong feeling that I was wrong that I was not small or insignifigant. That I was the cosmos just as much as I was the figure looking up at it. Indeed I had the perception of looking down at myself as if the cosmos.
So it's kinda like leveling up? when you reach that thing you don't know what to do- you wait from anxiety, nervousness or just awe or any kind of emotion, but one must pass through the automatic doors to be a better positive minded individual.
I haven't had a peak experience for most of my life because my basic needs of a place to live- i was homeless, were not being met. Unfortunately I now feel I will never reach my original potential because too much of my life has already been wasted, it's like an anti climax. Also, I care too much about the planet and climate etc. and until the world's needs are met I can never be really actualized. So I'm launching 'climate control' and I want everyone to plant some trees.Climate Control!
I have often, As an artist, I can get cought up in a piece that i am working on because the personal rewards are so great. Many hours can go by, even 20 hours a few times. Or in nature. The feeling of god in the woods. Trees, the smells and just in awe and wonder of the big HOW question.
I had a PEAK when I asked "what does god look like" before my meditation.
I shot down! Splitting the quantum, dividing it. I watched quantum windows dividing in every way imaginable, I could see timelines and realities opening up before me. It happened sooo fast.. I felt a scorching feeling above my eyes!!OW. The meditation lasted about 3 seconds, and I had a tingling in my brain, and a rush for three days. The first time it happened, I only saw pulsating layers of a giant layered orb.
I detest when people compare manic episodes to some experience of spiritual accolade. I am bipolar AND have had these peak experiences. they are very different. I think its irresponsible to promote these ideas.
From the videos I watched... you've seemed to have mastered the art of talking about Psychology without sounding like you're talking 'down' to your audience. I hope you get a show on PBS, if that helps you become actualized...
So whatever happens you're stuffed and will need a psychologist's expensive book to unravel the spaghetti in your head?
In order to peak his intellectual highs Aristotle hit the bottle before he went down the niteclub for some mad dances and then threw pizza boxes over fences on the way home.
I have had peak exp often. I feel that psychology and spiritulity are start to intertwin w/ one another. Would love to talk more about this, I love psychology and the brain. Many many Blessings to you
I have had many, too many to explain in a comment. Most recently...it had made me scared to go to sleep due to "OBE's" that were quite intense. Perhaps you should get in contact with me. Please email me. I was drawn to this site by a video by a man who had a spiritual experience and was institutionalized for it.
You all are trying to act like you can talk shit about this lady like that. You wouldn't know what to do if it was swung in your face. I am getting somewhat up to the top of what I spent my adult life for most part doing. That is aiding in the battle for the Republic. Just have to love my girl and family before the shooting starts.
I had a peak experience in a dream once, I was a different person, I could not think back on my real life, the scenery was beautiful and the wind would play music. There where people and odd creatures and everyone got along because everyone understood eachother, but then damnation washed over me and I woke up back to reality, back with my memories that scar me ensuring that reaching that peak will be impossible.
Hi, I really loved your videos discussing about Humanistic Psychology. This forms the basis of various empowering
workshops like "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" etc. I always had a lot of interest in Psychology. Though its not my major; I belong to technology side but still I like to read & watch such stuff. Can you suggest some good reading stuff as well, which can help me nurture my interest. I am gonna be a regular visitor to your channel for sure though. Thanks for
I've been in a "zone" before but I still knew what was going on around me. My bball team at school was down 10 points and I just hustled harder than ever before with full confidence and the next thing we know in only a few minutes we are only down 2 points...
or is self actualization like when I was 13 and I had my first love crush on a girl i knew from school but one day something just clicked so i asked her out...
can I get speed up the self actualization process? I need a career path... :)
Peak experience: I had a peak experience a long time ago when i was at this concert..It was about 100 degrees in this place (even with the fan on) it was a very humid night, everyone was sweating and rubbing up on eachother, I got so into the music i took my shirt off and danced topless in the middle of a rock show. (I had my bra on) everyone was dancing with me girls and guys and we were all just pouring sweat. I felt like a god had touched me. the addrenlin was amazing. it wasnt even sexual.
me and my girl fraind didnt eat all day ate shrooms and than meditated deeply for about 2 houres i became extermely hungery got up and ate some food than it happened i must say that the shrroms were part of it but this was so very much diferant than any other time iv done shrooms iv taken much higher doses and fell nothing like this , i was at 1 with the univers with all life it was like reaching out and touching god there are not words with the meaning to even talk about it rightly
Basically, my peak experiences seemed to consist of a balance between self-awareness and self-forgetfulness. Though I think it is the "result" of forgetting oneself. I think that at those times, when we lay aside our analytical mind, we are both more happy and more wise. Our heart sees more than our head ever could ; )
Actually our heart (or emotions) often forces us to focus on one or a few things while blinding us to the rest of the world.
Greed, Hate and Fear rule the world, only a small percentage of people are actually happy, the rest only have fleeting moments of happiness, or none at all.
When I say "heart", I'm not speaking about the emotions or sentiments, but something deeper. The "I"; the one whose will and mind and emotions they are. The bible says: Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. If this is in check, we won't have wars and greed etc. I do agree our emotions can be an obstruction though! But fortunately, we are bigger than our feelings, and they don't need to get in the way : )
Since half of my peak experiences happened when I was really young, I can't remember the exact events, but a feeling of awesome happiness and excitement surrounds those memories.
I have been having frequent peak experiences as of late. They usually involve social interaction, because I am trying to become less anxious around people. Last weekend I went tubing with my family and my dad's coworker's family, and when I was riding through the water... I felt so happy, like there were no limits.
I've never had work, never done anything. And yet, with the exception of one, my peak experiences were crushes on girls! The thoughts and fantasies they brought, plunged me into an extasy that can't be described. I would sit and fantasize at night, and everything took on new meaning. If I lost this longing for any length of time, I would start to "desire the desire" for love. Nothing else except the desire for God has been craved as an end, as desire itself.
But let us not stop there. It's these times, these very peak experiences that look most like a pointing finger or a prophet--an icon from Heaven; a suggestion that there's something more. This divine discontent, this lovers quarrel with the world. We prefer this desire to the "satisfaction" of any other desire.
Great, great video! We feel more powerful and helpless, because we've forgotten about ourselves. Give up yourself, and you'll find a true self. Power comes when we surrender ourselves. Time becomes irrelevant, because we love. When we love something (whatever it may be), we are in eternity. Time is consummated in love!
peak experience: I fell in love with a special red headed nurse. It made my views of God more understandable, cleared up my misunderstanding of love, and had never been so creative or had so much energy! I had never been so in love with a person. It was a transcendant experience. Time itself stopped and I became a different person from that day on.... I was now a person who had figured out HOW to love, and what it felt like to be loved. I owe my life to that beautiful wonderful nurse!
Remember people, on the coming months of September to December, there were 2 volcanoes that would erupt in the US, the name of these volcanoes have something to do with faith. This eruption is a trumpet blast from God. Repent now people! Avoid pornography, smoking, cursing, fornication, adultery, immorality, occultism etc. Be holy; do not turn to church for salvation, turn to Christ
nvr had a peak performance cause haven't achieved my goal in life yet... but there was a time when i could concentrate all my minds into the things that i liked most, and i could come out with outstading results... however, all these r for the time being lost cause now i;m having to establish my basic needs first and build up the pyramid on the basis of financial security... and then i guess i'll be able to concentrate again in wot i like most doing, and that'll be a peak performance for me.
I'm not sure if I had a Peak Exp. But I remember having three kinds of unusual experiences, one about happiness and joy, for ex. after reading a book with some beautifull history or point of view of life and made me look more accurately to the world, the other about intelectual achivements, wich had some happin. inside of it, and the last one when I was playing guitar, wich made me stop observing or feeling the outside world in a deep insight, listening and playing, and it were very nice :).
I remember I used to get it a lot more when I was little, it doesn't make sense in my memories though because it's more part feeling and part what I was seeing/hearing but I never can remember what triggered it. I think sometimes it was when I heard certain music. But I realized recently that it also happens when an ambulance/police car/fire truck speeds by with it;'s sirens blasting.
Thanks for the information on human needs! I have had this complete self accuaization experinence in combat. The bombs were falling and the bullets were flying! lost some good soldiers and friends. Keep up the great work! Thanks again for sharing!!!
i Had a complete self accualization experinence on the 4th of july 2006 when i ingested mushrooms and thought that my life was thretened, later that night i was listening to meditative music to try to relax and all this crazy stuff started to happen. I.E. felt double helix of energy making its way up my spine intence heat and pleasure radiating from my chest all through out my body. hearing voices in my head singing.
My peak experience is now, and now and now, on and on... i wish i could explain it, but it has the quality of something like fire or a stream, always changing yet remaining the samething. If you really read these, PM my channel and ask me.
Great videos. psychiatry as a pseudo-science of fraud and industry of death is one of my mantras. Educating the public, cautioning them by broadening their understanding is what my new blog is all about (among other things of living in wellness).
Will be embedding your youtubes into some of my posts.
i mainly just have mania. Once i felt so happy i thought i was going to die. I felt as if my body was crystal clear. I am almost always happy, and i am nervous about it out of guilt. I have learn my way of life is to have the adverage amount of income of everyone in the world, that way i am not giving or taking. I feel that is the best way to feel at peace right now.
I believe I have experienced peak moments. They first started when I was a teen. I would go though periods of brooding, and then something would click and make sense. I still experience them, and am constantly searching for them. I don't know how to create them or maintain them, though. The oneness with the universe, heightened sense of reality, clarity of thought all speak to me. At times, though, I feel as though I can't keep up with myself. I'm not sure that's self-actualization, but close.
I've experienced many peak experiences, my videos are good examples. However, like she said herself and as maslow has said, someone wouldn't understand these experiences unless they had them themselves....
i stareted exercisng working out like i never did before and i never seem ed to need sleep or not much maybe 4hrs a day i eat so much food(good food). but it always disappears. need to find a book on this guy
when i get this peak experience i don't feel u know like in love or any of that bull shit they went over i feel, enlightened. i can learn any thing to tell u the truth i get like almost photographic memory , i usually start reading because my hunger for knowledge increases one time i finished a biography a day 7 books a week i spent the whole day reading and it felt good, not sex or anything like that or drugs. the sky opened to me i think im god like sometimes at those times
Since I quit all forms of drugs in the last 18 months or so,I have experienced an abundance of life and deeply significant spiritual experiences.All of life comes from within and now I have the opportunity to live life to it's fullest.
peak experiences happen when i'm playing cello, listening to music, when i see beautiful surroundings, or when i've just discovered, realized, or understood something meaningful.
I live constantly in self-actualization for the last 3 months. It makes all tasks easier and reality much more transparent. You can see those on strings more clearly than they see themselves, and those tying strings become perceivable when they believe themselves invisible. It is a shame that people are so blind to see it as madness. They merely fear the power it gives. And due to this system, many go on to use their power to propetuate it. It's sad.
I have a question about the self-actualization pyramid- you mentioned in one of the videos that the bottom row was all about meeting basic needs one needs to survive.....i'm not sure sex really belongs here, after all not getting any does not lead to death as far as I know.....
My peak experiences usually involved music, listening and performing, sometimes sports, like scoring a goal in soccer, or having a really together ski run. But I find these expereiences are difficult to repeat, you need to continuously find new challenges to overcome, some of the old ones just become ordinary after a while
Maslow's hierarchy is incomplete. Manfred Max-Neef's Fundamental human needs seems to make more sense than a hierarchy system. The poverty arguement being one of my favourites.
When I draw, I feel as thought I'm going in this direction. I can put all my feelings out, and I feel pure. Enlightened. When I finish a piece I'm particularly proud of, it's cleansing.
I have peeked and crashed several times. Each time I walk away with a better understanding of self and my surroundings.
Interestingly enough I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder a month ago and was prescribed DEPAKOTE and I am seeing the doctor again tomorrow for an evaluation. I think I'll drop the term Self Actualization on her tomorrow to see what type of response I get.
I belive that we all have peak experiences throught our lives even when we are burdened with the lower leveles of existance.Peak experiences happen to me when I overcome personal dversities. Any time we learn and have growth as spirit we are in the state of self - actualization. Even when our basic needs aren't met. They may not last or occour often but we should experience self - acctualization daily. It is a practice in awareness. Thank You for efforts to empower us.
The day I realized I have the power of choice. Its not luck, its not whether Im good at what I do or not its that I choose to be good. I chose to change the way I think and I chose to change my life.

My first peak experience was skydiving when i was 17. It made me feel and see the whole life different afterwards. I also had so many other good and BAD peak experiences as well. maybe i should call bad ones trauma? I dont think I have PTSD but I am positive that I have ADHD. one of the reason I loved skydiving more than I should of is I believe my ADHD. Cos it was a moment I was concentrated only on thing and one thing only.

My peak experince was a bang from my past I was really crashed on the floor I felt I was nothing and I was so little in this world, for some reason I started to feel myself; I accepted I was weak and there were things I wasn't able do anything about them. It was also acompained with a feeling of love that healed my soul. I started to see my bad feelings, my bad self, some kind of good/bad man but at the end you can take right/wrong decision. Before that I always believed myself a good guy.

Peak experience: Last year my father passed away after a 15 year struggle with heart and lung disease. The night he passed away, I walked out of the hospital doors- having just taken part in the most beautiful and painful moment of my life- feeling overwhelmed with an emotion I can only relate to as 'pure love'. I was as vulnerable as you get, and equally as hopeful and inspired. I wrote more about my transformation in a blog you can read at walkbesideyou.blogspot.com

my peak experience, after following the suggestions of a spiritual teacher- performing practices like meditation and yoga for a few years, and having an intense desire to know what life is for, I had some blissful experiences of being connected with the universe and this was also scary and brought up a lot of wonder about what my lifes purpose was. I felt I was alone, more so than ever before but I had the benefit of all that was offered by my Guru....

@seeingsound Hello, I just read your comment about your Peak-Experience, and I wanted you to know I feel as you feel and have felt what you felt. Are you still in the moment? And can you lead your day with that? I am very excited for your experience and just wanted to know if you have ridden the wave of thoughts that come with knowing? Overwhelming at first the power of thoughts. What guided action are you taking? Can you attract at will? Are you prone to spontaneous outbursts of action?

Pain and pleasure, mental or physical, are part of a continuum... The nihilist philosopher, Frederich Nietzsche in his book, "Twilight of Idols," wrote: What does not kill you makes you stronger. Understanding this, I feel, is at root of what is to be self-actualized. It is not a state; rather a transitory moment. Living in the moment, as it where. This moment could be "transitory or infinite" depending on your perspective.

i don't really think that it is possible to be able to discover oneself indefinitely since we are constantly a growing product of our surroundings. This is a fine video, but she lost me when she said that having the peak experiences is when you are closest to who you are. We are who we are when we are happy and unhappy. the things that upset us are as much of a part of who we are as the things that make us happy

@sammanslap You know, you can have a peak experience with something you don't like. Say, like losing a close friend or failing an important exam. I think we are closer to ourselves when we are more open and these peak experiences tend to open ones self.

going to the desert (i'm from the Midwest) and realizing, through encountering sand and stone and desolation, that civilization is artificial, that nature doesn't need us, that life is brief and small and insignificant when compared to the cosmos. The desert is overwhelming and makes you confront the physical world and your physical self. Survival is a triumph. Nature is not generous or benevolent.

And there was this moment, when I was at Rehoboth Beach the day I left, staring a the eastern horizon in sunset thinking just how amazing everything was, about how everything laid before me, and realizing that I had done it

I believe you can have a sense of enlightenment when you have knowledge that few people know of.

Not a bad lecture though our composed, black-clad expert failed to note the social, economic and political barriers to self actualisation. Children have many peak experiences which are usually squeezed out by straightjacket education and socialisation. A psychotic episode is more different from a peak experience than a duck is to a cygnet ;) and you'd have to be prettty superficial to not notice the difference. Psychosis disables the individual, peak experience is liberating.

I believe I have had a Peek Experience. I was out gazing at the stars. I remember thinking to myself how very small and insignifigant I was looking up at the vast vault of the heavens. Then at the same time a strong feeling that I was wrong that I was not small or insignifigant. That I was the cosmos just as much as I was the figure looking up at it. Indeed I had the perception of looking down at myself as if the cosmos.

I haven't had a peak experience for most of my life because my basic needs of a place to live- i was homeless, were not being met. Unfortunately I now feel I will never reach my original potential because too much of my life has already been wasted, it's like an anti climax. Also, I care too much about the planet and climate etc. and until the world's needs are met I can never be really actualized. So I'm launching 'climate control' and I want everyone to plant some trees.Climate Control!

Basically, my peak experiences seemed to consist of a balance between self-awareness and self-forgetfulness. Though I think it is the "result" of forgetting oneself. I think that at those times, when we lay aside our analytical mind, we are both more happy and more wise. Our heart sees more than our head ever could ; )

Actually our heart (or emotions) often forces us to focus on one or a few things while blinding us to the rest of the world.
Greed, Hate and Fear rule the world, only a small percentage of people are actually happy, the rest only have fleeting moments of happiness, or none at all.
dstone2004 2 years ago
When I say "heart", I'm not speaking about the emotions or sentiments, but something deeper. The "I"; the one whose will and mind and emotions they are. The bible says: Guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. If this is in check, we won't have wars and greed etc. I do agree our emotions can be an obstruction though! But fortunately, we are bigger than our feelings, and they don't need to get in the way : )
Davotheledge 2 years ago
Since half of my peak experiences happened when I was really young, I can't remember the exact events, but a feeling of awesome happiness and excitement surrounds those memories.
I have been having frequent peak experiences as of late. They usually involve social interaction, because I am trying to become less anxious around people. Last weekend I went tubing with my family and my dad's coworker's family, and when I was riding through the water... I felt so happy, like there were no limits.
QueenTwilla 2 years ago
I've never had work, never done anything. And yet, with the exception of one, my peak experiences were crushes on girls! The thoughts and fantasies they brought, plunged me into an extasy that can't be described. I would sit and fantasize at night, and everything took on new meaning. If I lost this longing for any length of time, I would start to "desire the desire" for love. Nothing else except the desire for God has been craved as an end, as desire itself.
Davotheledge 2 years ago
But let us not stop there. It's these times, these very peak experiences that look most like a pointing finger or a prophet--an icon from Heaven; a suggestion that there's something more. This divine discontent, this lovers quarrel with the world. We prefer this desire to the "satisfaction" of any other desire.

Great, great video! We feel more powerful and helpless, because we've forgotten about ourselves. Give up yourself, and you'll find a true self. Power comes when we surrender ourselves. Time becomes irrelevant, because we love. When we love something (whatever it may be), we are in eternity. Time is consummated in love!

peak experience: I fell in love with a special red headed nurse. It made my views of God more understandable, cleared up my misunderstanding of love, and had never been so creative or had so much energy! I had never been so in love with a person. It was a transcendant experience. Time itself stopped and I became a different person from that day on.... I was now a person who had figured out HOW to love, and what it felt like to be loved. I owe my life to that beautiful wonderful nurse!

Remember people, on the coming months of September to December, there were 2 volcanoes that would erupt in the US, the name of these volcanoes have something to do with faith. This eruption is a trumpet blast from God. Repent now people! Avoid pornography, smoking, cursing, fornication, adultery, immorality, occultism etc. Be holy; do not turn to church for salvation, turn to Christ

nvr had a peak performance cause haven't achieved my goal in life yet... but there was a time when i could concentrate all my minds into the things that i liked most, and i could come out with outstading results... however, all these r for the time being lost cause now i;m having to establish my basic needs first and build up the pyramid on the basis of financial security... and then i guess i'll be able to concentrate again in wot i like most doing, and that'll be a peak performance for me.

I'm not sure if I had a Peak Exp. But I remember having three kinds of unusual experiences, one about happiness and joy, for ex. after reading a book with some beautifull history or point of view of life and made me look more accurately to the world, the other about intelectual achivements, wich had some happin. inside of it, and the last one when I was playing guitar, wich made me stop observing or feeling the outside world in a deep insight, listening and playing, and it were very nice :).

I remember I used to get it a lot more when I was little, it doesn't make sense in my memories though because it's more part feeling and part what I was seeing/hearing but I never can remember what triggered it. I think sometimes it was when I heard certain music. But I realized recently that it also happens when an ambulance/police car/fire truck speeds by with it;'s sirens blasting.

I.E. felt double helix of energy making its way up my spine intence heat and pleasure radiating from my chest all through out my body. hearing voices in my head singing.

My peak experience is now, and now and now, on and on... i wish i could explain it, but it has the quality of something like fire or a stream, always changing yet remaining the samething. If you really read these, PM my channel and ask me.

Great videos. psychiatry as a pseudo-science of fraud and industry of death is one of my mantras. Educating the public, cautioning them by broadening their understanding is what my new blog is all about (among other things of living in wellness).
Will be embedding your youtubes into some of my posts.
Thanks for a VOB (video job) well done!

i mainly just have mania. Once i felt so happy i thought i was going to die. I felt as if my body was crystal clear. I am almost always happy, and i am nervous about it out of guilt. I have learn my way of life is to have the adverage amount of income of everyone in the world, that way i am not giving or taking. I feel that is the best way to feel at peace right now.

I believe I have experienced peak moments. They first started when I was a teen. I would go though periods of brooding, and then something would click and make sense. I still experience them, and am constantly searching for them. I don't know how to create them or maintain them, though. The oneness with the universe, heightened sense of reality, clarity of thought all speak to me. At times, though, I feel as though I can't keep up with myself. I'm not sure that's self-actualization, but close.

I've experienced many peak experiences, my videos are good examples. However, like she said herself and as maslow has said, someone wouldn't understand these experiences unless they had them themselves....

peak experiences happen when i'm playing cello, listening to music, when i see beautiful surroundings, or when i've just discovered, realized, or understood something meaningful.

I live constantly in self-actualization for the last 3 months. It makes all tasks easier and reality much more transparent. You can see those on strings more clearly than they see themselves, and those tying strings become perceivable when they believe themselves invisible. It is a shame that people are so blind to see it as madness. They merely fear the power it gives. And due to this system, many go on to use their power to propetuate it. It's sad.

Is it a pure accident that you have great perception and look beautiful?
Beautiful women that have brains turn me on. A combination of base instinct and higher level attainment.

I have a question about the self-actualization pyramid- you mentioned in one of the videos that the bottom row was all about meeting basic needs one needs to survive.....i'm not sure sex really belongs here, after all not getting any does not lead to death as far as I know.....
01ayoh 2 years ago
that's not the bottom level.the bottom level is like immediate death things: no food, water, air, shelter, etc. I think sex is level 3.

My peak experiences usually involved music, listening and performing, sometimes sports, like scoring a goal in soccer, or having a really together ski run. But I find these expereiences are difficult to repeat, you need to continuously find new challenges to overcome, some of the old ones just become ordinary after a while

Maslow is wrong. One can achieve the highest states of happiness without without fulfilling the lower.
If you achieve some lower states, you are even unhappier than you don't.
If you want to be happy you have to understand yourself first and the world second, nothing else is needed.

Maslow's hierarchy is incomplete. Manfred Max-Neef's Fundamental human needs seems to make more sense than a hierarchy system. The poverty arguement being one of my favourites.

When I draw, I feel as thought I'm going in this direction. I can put all my feelings out, and I feel pure. Enlightened. When I finish a piece I'm particularly proud of, it's cleansing.

I have peeked and crashed several times. Each time I walk away with a better understanding of self and my surroundings.
Interestingly enough I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder a month ago and was prescribed DEPAKOTE and I am seeing the doctor again tomorrow for an evaluation. I think I'll drop the term Self Actualization on her tomorrow to see what type of response I get.
Thank you ;O)

I belive that we all have peak experiences throught our lives even when we are burdened with the lower leveles of existance.Peak experiences happen to me when I overcome personal dversities. Any time we learn and have growth as spirit we are in the state of self - actualization. Even when our basic needs aren't met. They may not last or occour often but we should experience self - acctualization daily. It is a practice in awareness. Thank You for efforts to empower us.
