1 C4 Levels explained 2010

2 Maslow C4 C3 C2 C1

3 C1 level: The body dictates Before a toddler is able to stand or walk, he will notice that other humans are standing and walking. And it s not a matter of gaining strength and coordination that will help him take his first step. His problem is C1: This part of my body is not doing what I want. His answer comes through C2: I am frustrated because I want something more than I am capable of at this moment. And it s through frustration he learns to walk. And it s the same frustration that will help him develop every physical ability. The actual muscle increase, coordination, etc comes after this.

4 C1 level: The body dictates It is the bodily desire to be able to do something, to feel, to taste, to experience. Or to be freed of a bodily sensation. But the solution never comes from the body. The answer comes from higher levels. When our body hurts, the solution doesn t lie in painkillers. We have to look further. And depending on the depth of the problem, we have to answer from deeper layers. On falling down the stairs arnica c1 will suffice for the physical pain. Treatment: Massage, diet, exercise, painkillers, etc.

5 C2: The emotion rules A recently passed away dutch singer told his biographer that in every relationship he had he needed to feel the passionate feelings of having just fallen in love. Every day!

6 C2: The emotion rules This is a good example of emotions being the primary compass in life. If we need this intensity every day we have to make a lot of sacrifices. If we give a C2 remedy in such a case the person will only feel good for a day or so. If we give a remedy from a deeper level we can help the person overcome this addiction. Treatment: mostly attention giving. Mommy will kiss it and make it better.

7 C3: There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.

8 C3: There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so. It is in this layer that the largest part of civilization is stuck. If we can only see through the problem, catch its essence, understand it s patterns, control it s tendencies it will all be solved. Or will it? As this is a dominant layer (being the current average peak of human evolution) it is difficult to get out. We are looking through glasses, binoculars, telescopes, microscopes, etc and still very few solution. But we did get more questions. This where most psychologists work. It s the thinking in polarities Our answer doesn t come from analysis though. It is never something we can touch or see. It is never the destination, it s the path. And so if the problem is from the c3 level we can not answer from the same level or it will only bring up more food for thought.

9 C4: What am I doing here?

10 C4 It s recognizing your place in the polarity and accepting it. Looking at everything that is within you with equal love and acceptance. It s the level concerning our deepest destination. If we look at Hellingers work there is the magic purpose (what you think you should do within the system C3) and there is the true purpose (what you should do in this incarnation and system). It s therefore also to fill the gaps in the development. When we should have gone through an individual development in our youth but didn t or couldn t. For instance when the basic security wasn t there so the child couldn t stand on his own two feet. When mother didn t allow the child to separate from her. When the father was absent so we couldn t identify ourselves with him and we are left with only the female role model. Etc etc.

11 C4 We go through developmental stages to help us on our own individual path. But when the gap is too big, we try to fill it. But if you are lacking attention at 5. You can have all the attention in the world at 40 but the gap will not be filled. The only way to move on is to accept the loss. And that is what C4 can bring.

12 C5: The Archetype

13 C5: The Archetype Sometimes we can identify ourselves too much with certain archetypes: the mother, the christ, the child, etc etc. We then go astray from our personal path and get stuck in an ever more and more refining pattern of the archetype followed. When this happens we cannot prescribe from c3 or lower levels as it would only help maintain the archetypical state. We have to put this person on track again (his C4 path) by confronting him with his own archetype: a C5 remedy. Treatment: Jungian psychology, homeopathy.
