human development that coaches
need to be familiar with to facilitate
the full emergence of their client’s
potential.
“I rarely do reviews, but This one blows
everything out of the park. It provides a
frighteningly accurate and scientifically
grounded framework that explains the entire
process of human consciousness development,
with practical tools especially for coaches.
Coaching aside, Every human being needs to

Our physical senses are only tuned in to
interpreting what is happening in our 3-D
material reality—a narrow band of
frequencies.
As long as we identify with our physical
body and its senses, we will be unaware of
what is happening in our 4-D energetic
reality.

HOW TO CREATE

A THEORY OF EMOTIONS
46. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
46
My theory of emotions starts from the premise that
all emotions are a reflection of energy shifts: a
sudden increase or decrease in the amplitude of
vibration of our energy field caused by the body’s or
the ego’s reaction to changes in their external
environment.
A positive energy shift enhances the stability of the
human energy field, thereby supporting the health of
the body. A negative energy shift diminishes the
stability of the human energy field thereby inhibiting
the health of the body.
A THEORY OF EMOTIONS

POSITIVE EMOTIONS
Meeting the needs of the ego—happiness
Meeting the desires of the soul—joy
NEGATIVE EMOTIONS
Not meeting the needs of the ego—anger
Not meeting the desires of the soul—sadness
Emotional needs might not be met—anxiety
Body needs might not be met—fear

HAPPINESS
Happiness is the automatic energetic reaction that arises
when we release the anxieties we have about not being
able to meet one of our deficiency needs or when a
potential threat to a need we have already satisfied is
removed.
Once the anxiety is released, happiness is felt but quickly
dissipates. When we are able to master our deficiency
needs, we experience the feeling of contentment.
Happiness is linked to the following feelings: relief, pride,
pleasure, satisfaction and cheerfulness.
50. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
50
JOY
Joy arises from the delight of the soul about getting its
desires satisfied. Joy is the longest lasting positive emotion
because it is linked to a sense of fulfilment.
Happiness quickly dissipates because it is linked to the
release of fear. Joy is associated with the following feelings:
optimism, enthusiasm, commitment, expression, creativity,
connection, trust, and contribution.
51. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
51
FEAR
Fear is the basic emotion shared by all living organisms.
Fear is a present moment experience of the possibility of
not getting your needs met. As soon as a threat disappears,
the fear associated with the threat dissipates quickly. Fear
is linked to the following feelings: shame, guilt, worry,
distress, horror, shock, terror and fright. Thus, we can state:
A threat to our needs Fear
52. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
52
ANXIETY
Whereas fear is a present moment experience of the
possibility of not getting your needs met, anxiety is a
present moment experience of the possibility of not getting
your needs met in the future.
Anxiety about being punished for something you did, for
example, is an experience of the possibility of not getting
your love and safety needs met in the future.
53. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
53
ANGER
Anger is the emotional upset associated with coming to
terms with the implications arising from a need not being
met.
The more attached we were to satisfying a particular need,
the angrier we become when that need is not met or when
we believe it might not be met.
Unmet need Anger
54. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
54
ANGER
We suppress our anger when we feel vulnerable: when we
believe that expressing our anger could compromise our
ability to get one of our other deficiency needs met.
This is why children suppress their anger towards their
parents. If they expressed their true feelings, they would
risk compromising getting their needs met in the future.
55. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
55
ANGER AND DEPRESSION
Anger/hatred turned inwards Depression
Hatred is the most physiologically damaging of all the
feelings associated with anger, especially when your hate is
turned inwards; when you believe you are the cause of the
reason for not getting your needs met.
Hatred of others creates external separation; hatred of self
creates internal separation; the ego’s separation from the
soul.
56. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
56
SADNESS
When the ego is unable to get its needs met, it experiences
anger.
When the soul is unable to get its desires met, it
experiences sadness.
When the sadness of the soul accumulates, we experience
depression.
Unmet ego needs Unmet soul desires Sadness Depression
57. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
57
DEPRESSION SICKNESS AND SUICIDE
When the soul continuously experiences sadness—when the
ego consistently fails to get its deficiency needs met—the
soul’s will to be present in 3-D awareness begins to wane.
When the soul’s will to be present wanes, the body’s will to
stay alive weakens and the ego’s will to survive declines.
When the body’s will to stay alive weakens, the body’s
immune system becomes compromised. When the ego’s will
to survive declines, the ego begins to contemplate suicide.

In his book, Towards a Psychology of
Being, Abraham Maslow asks the
question: “How does growth happen?”
He answers in the following way:
The single holistic principle that binds
together the multiplicity of human
motives is the tendency for a new and
higher need to emerge as a lower need
fulfils itself by being sufficiently
gratified.
69. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com
69
Abraham Maslow calls our ego needs
deficiency needs and the needs of our
higher self (soul) growth needs.
Man’s higher nature rests on his lower
nature, needing it as a foundation.
The best way to develop this higher
nature is to fulfil and gratify the lower
nature first … (happiness).
…satisfying our deficiencies avoids
illness; growth satisfactions produce
positive health … (meaning).

Roberto Assagioli makes the following
observation about the link between
values and stages of development:
The existence of different levels of
being having different values is an
evident and undeniable manifest-
ation of the great law of evolution,
as it progresses from simple and
crude stages to more refined and
highly organized ones.

NEEDS AND VALUES
73. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.

73
Because the ego believes it inhabits a body and
lives in a material world, it thinks it can die.
Because it thinks it can die, it thinks it has needs,
and because it thinks it has needs, it develops
fears about not being able to get its needs met.
NEEDS AND FEARS
74. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.

The ego has needs and the soul has desires.

When you are able to meet your deficiency needs you
feel happy and at ease with the world.
When you are unable to meet your deficiency needs
you feel unhappy, anxious, fearful and may become
depressed or suicidal.
When you are able to meet your growth needs, you
want more. You feel joyful.

Your ego is a field of conscious awareness that identifies
with your physical body and material awareness.
The ego is not who you are. It is the mask you wear to
get your needs met in the cultural framework of your
material three-dimensional framework of existence.

Your soul is an individuated aspect of the
universal energy field from which everything in
our physical world derives its being.
Your soul is a field of conscious awareness that
identifies with your four-dimensional energy
field. It is who you really are. You don’t have a
soul; your soul has you.

Soul Self = True Self + Unique Self
At the level of the true Self, we all share the same values. At
the level of the unique self, we all have different skills, gifts,
and talents. This, I believe, is what Maslow was referring to
when he wrote:
“Each person’s inner nature is in part unique to himself
and in part species-wide.”
THE TWO ASPECTS OF THE SOUL
80. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com

Because the soul identifies with your four-
dimensional energy field and not with the
body, the soul knows it cannot die.
The soul has no needs because at the level of
reality at which it exists it instantaneously
creates through its thoughts.
Because the soul has no needs, it has no fears.

What is different about these books compared to
almost all other works on the topics of stages of
development and human well-being is that they
explore psychological development from the
perspective of the ego-soul evolutionary dynamic.
You will not find this approach in any scientific papers
because the soul (sometimes called the higher-self or
the inner core), along with the topic of consciousness,
for the most part, is ignored by the academic world.

Where does the will to survive come from?
You will not find the answer in any scientific papers.
The will to survive is the soul’s will to be
present in 3-D material awareness.
The will to survive is the motivating force of the
body-mind (reptilian mind/brain), the emotional-mind (limbic
mind/brain) and rational mind (neocortex mind/brain).

The ego begins to form soon after the limbic mind/brain
becomes dominant around the age of two and continues
developing until our early 20s.
The soul mind creates the ego mind when it becomes
overwhelmed by the pain of being present in 3-D material
reality. This pain is caused by the energy of fear and
separation.

mind/brain) and the rational mind (the neocortex
mind/brain).
The will to keep safe and feel secure is how the ego
interprets the soul’s will to be present in 3-D awareness.
The ego is the unknowing guardian of the soul’s incarnation
intention.

Whereas the ego-mind is responsible for the
survival, safety and security of the body in its
physical, social and cultural framework of
existence, the body-mind is responsible for the
homeostatic functioning of the physical body—
keeping the body alive.

The fears you develop during the first
three stages of development can cause
stress and prevent you from fulfilling
your soul’s desires, thereby leading
depression and sickness later in life.

1. … we believe we may not be able to cope with the
demands that have been put on us.
2. … we believe the demands that are being put on will
prevent us from getting our own needs met.
3. … we are afraid to confront those who are putting
demands on us. The resentment thus created creates
internal instability—lack of personal alignment.
STRESS OCCURS WHEN …
121. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.
www.valuescentre.com

1. Stress is not a derivative of what is going on in your life; it
is a derivative of the meaning you give to what is going on
in your life through your beliefs and your ability to cope.
Stress originates from your fears, not from any external
source (lack of personal alignment).
2. Your boss may press you to get a job done, but you are
the one who converts this demand into stress. Without
your inner fears, there is no pressure and stress, there is
only what is.

We can get stressed, depressed and even suicidal when we
allow our fear-based PROGRAMMING from the first three
stages of development block us from meeting the needs of
the stage of development we are at (lack of personal

OR
We can get stressed, depressed and even suicidal if the
CONTEXT we are living in prevents us from meeting the
needs of the stage of development we are at (lack of
cultural alignment—parental, organizational, community).
IN OTHER WORDS …

Cultural contexts that prevent us from meeting
our needs and in particular the work context.
Any fear-based programming (lack of personal
alignment) we have will acerbate the downward
spiral into depression or suicide due to lack of
cultural alignment.

The amount of energy that is consumed in an organisation
doing unnecessary or unproductive work
that does not add value.
It is a measure of the conflict, friction and frustration that
employees encounter in their day-to-day activities that
prevent the organisation from operating at peak
performance and cause employees to experience stress.

Personal entropy is the amount of fear-driven
energy that a person expresses in his or her
day-to-day interactions with other people.
It is a measure of the lack of personal well-
being and personal mastery skills. Fear-driven
energy arises from the conscious and
subconscious fear-based beliefs of the ego
about meeting its deficiency needs.
