Philosophy - Christian Maslowism

Christian Maslowism

I - Introduction

Christian Maslowism is and essential part to Christianism, especially when it comes to defining meaning of life
and further explaining pleasure-pain principle, by giving it context.

Christianist Pyramid as seen in picture is Maslows pyramid of needs however with additional context, spiritual context.

We believe that in order for civilization to progress, and to progress at all, it cant progress without christianity. Essence of progress is the cross, after which human history becomes slave march to victory march, the tides turned. We are called to let heaven come down onto earth. To progress towards the mark that jesus called us too, and as Peter constantly preached in new testament. "Im not perfect but progressing man!" He later said that we are all in Jesus not perfect but progressing.

Finally we will be covering the idea of egoism and alutrism, and how we seek to unite both into one, where aultrism is positive outcome of egoism. In that essence egoism in christianism is inherent, however not cause it disregards others, but cause it seeks self-interests first, and understands that everything that human does is cause he has self-interest in it. The thing that follows is not selfish egoism, but preharps a purer form of altruism born out of egoism.

II - Human needs

This draws as to subject of purpose of life. Here we will get additional explanation about pain and pleasure doctrine, and give more exact definition of pleasure, that is, tightening, as opposed to pain, that is, loosening.

True pleasure is found in proper fulfilment of human needs. Now we could say pleasure = meaning, which is in essence correct. However it could be misleading and annotate form of nihilistic hedonism.

The human needs are listed out in the maslows pyramid of needs, which we have updated accordingly to spiritual reality, that is extremely, out of crucial importance to recognize, otherwise failure is guranteed, and any project towards fulfilment is unsustanable long term if not impossible short-term.

The first need is primal needs, physiological needs. Maslows pyramid of needs is arranged by the order of primacy. The needs at the bottom are more primal than needs at the top.
The spiritual counterpart to physiological needs is spiritual need of belief.



(It should be noted, material doesnt have pre-potence over spiritual and vice versa)
The Conquest of Nature leads to fulfilment of belief and physiological needs, The conquest of time leads to fulfillment of safety and faith needs, the conquest of fear leads to fulfillment of love and purity needs, the conquest of identity leads to fulfillment of esteem and longsuffering needs.

We also need to see how upper we climb the mountain, the line between spiritual and material becomes more and more blurred. Finally that line, dualism, the consuquence of fall of Adam, is broken in growth needs.

The essence of Christian Maslowism, is defining progress correctly, combined with pain-pleasure doctrine. Thus progress is defined as increasment of pleasure with each bit of pain, through fulfilment of human needs as described in the the christianist pyramid of needs. Since higher you climb the pyramid, the pleasure-pain relativity makes each bit of pain produce more pleasure relative depending on how high the need is.

Are living things do everything, absolute everything that is done is for sake of ones egoistic self-interest, be it self-destruction or the opposite. Ego is one concerned about fulfilment of ones needs and its task is to judge according to the order which will bring him about most pleasure.

However not all needs are selfish, so our egoism is not selfishness. Saying that human is guided only by self-interest is not selfish, if we understand all needs, in fact, majority of them arent selfish, and include and require a person to assume self-interest of other humans in order to fulfill its own. Thats already quite obvious when we reach love needs.
