Beyond Self-Actualization: Maslow, Jung and Transcendence - Jung On Purpose Podcast by CreativeMind | Lyssna här

Nearly half of US adults say they feel more anxious about world events than they did a year ago. So what do we do with that anxiety? In the final episode of our series on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, we explore why outer success and even self-actualization can leave us feeling that something is missing, and how the path forward begins within.

Most people know Maslow's famous pyramid, but few know that he later added a level beyond self-actualization: self-transcendence. We connect this lesser-known stage to Jung's process of individuation and to the non-dual wisdom of Advaita Vedanta, showing how shadow work and realizing the true Self can help you meet a chaotic world with clarity, compassion, and real power instead of fear and division.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why so many people feel stuck in survival mode, even without an outright crisis
What Maslow really meant by self-actualization, and why it's still ego-based
The "hidden" level of Maslow's hierarchy: self-transcendence
How projecting our shadow fuels division, online outrage, and political conflict
Why outer success is not the same as inner development, even in spiritual circles
A powerful metaphor for your true nature: the boat and the ocean
How Maslow, Jung, and Vedanta overlap, and where they differ
