Abstract
In this study, I propose that people, knowingly or not, we seek money to fulfill 7
fundamental human and spiritual needs. I hypothesize that prosperity comes from within in the
form of spiritual energy. This energy splits itself between our 7 chakras to address our 7 levels of
need in a normally ascending order. Following spiritual ideals allows these energies to meet our
needs and manifest the corresponding dimensions of prosperity. However, deviating from such
ideals may create inner blocks that limit the satisfaction of our needs and our experience of
abundance. Accordingly, I developed a test to assist clients in a coaching process to identify the
needs they want to address through money and where they may experience blocks. Through this
increased awareness individuals can set higher ideals, adopt new beliefs, and choose more
appropriate behaviors to gratify their needs and increase their overall prosperity.

Introduction
The majority of people usually think of prosperity as money. Yet for some this can be a
very restrictive definition. Edgar Cayce (254-4) stated that "Spirit is the life, mind is the builder,
and the physical is the result." Those of us who adopt his position can then consider money as the
physical manifestation of the spiritual essence of prosperity. Since, by most accounts, the
spiritual energy of life at our disposal is supposedly quite vast, this can lead us to wonder at our
lack of prosperity. Many spiritual researchers indicate that this energy of life splits itself between
our seven chakras to support our seven basic needs as human beings. These medical intuitives
and prosperity metaphysicians believe that following spiritual, mental, and emotional ideals
allows this energy to flow through us unimpeded to create the prosperity we desire. They also
propose that limiting beliefs and negative emotions can block the satisfaction of these needs and
limit our corresponding experience of abundance.
Based on this working theory, I have developed in this application project an assessment
questionnaire to help people increase their current abundance in a coaching framework. This test
consists of 70 questions that prospective clients can answer before their first session with a coach.
Together client and coach can then review the overall results of the test to identify the client's
motivational drives or blocks towards prosperity.
The coach can also compare the individual responses of the clients to a reference table.
This table describes the seven dimensions of prosperity in the spiritual, the mental/emotional, and
the physical aspects of our being. The left hand side columns of the table identify the spiritual
energies and qualities of the seven chakras and their corresponding spiritual ideals of abundance.
The middle columns include the seven levels of psychological needs that prosperity fulfills. They
also describe the appropriate beliefs and emotions that the mind and body must hold to create that
abundance. The last column shows the ideal physical results that people generally desire to
manifest for these seven levels. Each dimension of material prosperity is connected across the
table through the spiritual, mental, and emotional elements that lead to its manifestation. The
coach can use this material to make clients conscious of their spiritual, mental, and emotional
inconsistencies or blockages. Clients can then select from that table ideals, qualities, beliefs,
feelings, words, actions, and behaviors that can lead to increased prosperity.
This paper starts by reviewing the current spiritual and psychological theories on the
process of manifesting reality and prosperity. It then weaves the theoretical tapestry that supports
my proposed hypothesis. It also discusses the development and workings of the above assessment
tool. It describes in detail the construction and method of use for both the test and reference table.
It provides some statistics on the 34 subjects who participated in this application project. It
analyzes the test results and feedback of the subjects. It discusses the modifications brought to the
test to reflect this input, and it includes the initial and final versions of the test. It also points out
the limitations of the tool and gives the criteria to decide if this tool is appropriate for a particular
coaching client. It discusses how the coaching process can build up on this assessment tool to
bring about positive changes in an individual. It offers some conclusions on the validity of this
working theory. Finally, it discusses different avenues of support for the test and suggests
alternate domains of use other than personal prosperity.

Literature Review
A-
The three steps of creation: Spirit, Mind, Physical
I believe most of us seek prosperity and financial abundance. However, there are many
different approaches to satisfy our desire for wealth. Exponents of the spiritually oriented ones
theorize that our physical possessions and experiences come to us from higher levels of reality.
Money is simply the spiritual substance manifesting in the physical realm. Edgar Cayce (254-4)
adhered to such a perspective. His well-known saying Spirit is the life, mind is the builder and
physical is the result encapsulates the process of the law of creation in action. Thurston and
Fazel use the following analogy to illustrate how they believe this law of manifestation works,
Think of a slide projector. The light bulb corresponds to the source of life, the screen to
the material world. The slide represents the mind. That transparent film takes the source
light, shapes it into pattern and color, and projects the image onto the material screen.
(1992, p. 8)
So this creative process assumes that Spirit is the willing source of all life, light, energy,
substance, and power. In reading 345-2, Cayce seems to confirm this view when he states: Know
that all power, or all force, is an emanation of One Spirit. He goes on to indicate that the desire
of this Spirit, as the acknowledged Creator of the Universe, is for us to be co-creators with Him,
using the same energy and process to manifest our own lives and reality.
If Spirit is the motivating force, our mind is the builder. It molds the energy it receives
from Spirit into patterns and forms that then precipitate in physical reality. Cayce tells us that our
mind shapes the material conditions of our lives and our physical bodies through our feelings,
intentions, thoughts, attitudes, and desires.
Thurston and Fazel (1992) hypothesize that the transition from the spiritual to the
physical occurs in three steps. The first step is the conception when the spiritual spark of
inspiration comes to our conscious awareness. The second step is the incubation period. During
this stage, the mind accumulates the necessary energy to crystallize the desired thing in the
material world. It also creates the necessary structure to contain the spiritual impulse in a way
that can express this energy in the physical realm. The third step is the hatching. The initial
concept has now evolved to its full maturity. At this point, the physical manifestation occurs in
our lives.
The time between initial conception and final manifestation depends on several things.
Thurston and Fazel (1992) emphasize perseverance, scope, and faith. They submit that mental
persistence and focus are essential for an individual to accomplish his or her dream. This is
because creation is not possible if there is a constant shift of intent at the mental level. Continuing
with their analogy, it would be very difficult to see the image of the projector appear on the
material screen of life if we are always shaking the projector or incessantly changing the slide.
They also discuss the matter of scope and faith. Scope describes the size of our dream, and faith
relates to the energy of belief that we need to materialize our desire into physical form. We
should not usually expect to effect a large and complex change in our life conditions instantly.
This is where faith comes in. Faith is about how much power and light energy we put through our
mental slide. It may take us a long time to effect major life changes if our spiritual light bulb is
low or flickering.
Having been endowed with free will, we may in principle attract anything we choose in
physical reality. However, as human beings, we usually prefer to experience things that make us
happy, fulfilled, and successful. Cayce's (1671-2) viewpoint is that material success - so called
- will be the result of well applied spiritual and mental purposes and desires by the entity. This
suggests that we may want to use ideals to set our goals and pursue our needs in life. Ideals are
spiritual principles, patterns, purposes, and attributes. Their purpose is to guide our mind to
10
manifest only things and experiences that are truly harmonious, fulfilling, creative, and uplifting
for us. They are divine blueprints of values, beliefs, motivations, behaviors, achievements, and
expression that the mind can focus on to manifest an ideal physical reality that should not have
negative, limiting, or destructive side effects. Cayce (262-83) underlines the point by stating that
" to be at-variance with the divine law may bring sickness, dis-ease, disruption, and distress in
a physical body."
Florence Scovel Shinn, a contemporary of Cayce, holds the same view about manifesting
abundance through ideals. She calls those the perfect pattern or the divine design. She describes
Spirit as the .God Mind within each man (Scovel Shinn, 2001, p. 12). She believes that this
Mind holds the perfect ideas that can manifest an individual's divine design, the role only he can
play, the place only she can fill in life. Creating through this Mind is the way to win at what she
calls the game of life whose purpose is to create perfect health, wealth, happiness, and selfexpression.
An ideal creative process would imply that we are consciously connecting to our ideals to
make every moment the highest and best choices we are capable of. Everyday experience tells us
that most of our choices are based on habitual thought patterns stored in what Cayce calls our
mental body. This mental body is the living memory of all thoughts, attitudes and actions that
you choose throughout your life (Thurston and Fazel, 1992, p. 11). So while none of us
would consciously want to create things that bring us pain and discomfort, our manifestation
process is often unconscious or on autopilot. We make habitual choices and responses even
though they are no longer serving us well. We consequently create things and conditions that we
then consider much less than ideal.
Thurston and Fazel (1992) offer us some ways to change our ineffective thinking routines.
One is to develop a habit of self-observation of what is going on in our minds. Listening to our
11
internal speech can give us the awareness of the attitudes and beliefs that no longer support our
higher good. We can then recognize our automatic emotional reactions and unconscious
behavioral patterns when facing similar life circumstances. While gaining greater awareness is a
first good step to change, we must also take action by making different creative choices.
This is where our free will can play a great role. Our will can be the opposer of habits we
seem bound to, yet no longer wish to follow. Thurston and Fazel (1992) tell us that we can learn
to plot a new course that is more in line with our ideals by resisting the automatic momentum
steering us in an habitual course. By awakening our will, we can learn to become the co-creators
of our lives in the way we are meant to be. We should then no longer be subject to the control of
our unconscious patterns. Our conscious minds could freely make choices that fully tap our
potential to experience greater prosperity.
Dr. Joseph Murphy (1974) holds the same point of view using very similar terms. He says
that there is a Cosmic Power that is the presence of God in man,
There is only One Fundamental Energy in the world, a Cosmic Energizer, and each one of
us is a channel through which this Force is seeking a creative outlet. It is necessary that
we become clear channels for the flow of this Divine Energy. Each one of us is a focal
point of the Divine, somewhat as an electric bulb may be looked upon as a focal point for
the flow of electrical current . and when we let this power flow constructively through
uswe will manifest harmony, health, peace and all the riches of the Infinite in our
lives. (p.17)
This movement of life draws energy from the invisible and shines it through our ideal
thoughts to manifest their physical reality. This limitless energy can then ...express the riches of
life in all possible dimensions and directions (Murphy, 1974, p. 168). According to him, money
12
is simply Divine Substance made manifest. This vital life energy focuses through the mold of our
minds as thought images that impress our subconscious mind to manifest abundance.
He offers that the subconscious mind which holds the power of manifestation is under the
control of the conscious mind. Your conscious mind conveys ideas and images to your
subconscious mind, and the latter determines how your thoughts and images become manifest as
form, function and experience in your life (Murphy, 1974, p. 136). Positive, creative thoughts
and emotions should produce conditions of health, wealth, and success. Wrong thinking and
negative emotions can create lack, sickness, and limitations. If there is a conflict between the
conscious and the subconscious, the dominant idea between the two always wins. We cannot
coerce the subconscious through our conscious will, but we can change our minds and feelings.
Thinking persistently and with conviction according to eternal spiritual truths can re-impress the
subconscious anew. Cleansed of past limiting or destructive ideas, we can then create once more
according to our ideals to produce harmonious and desirable results.
Another source that supports this view on manifestation is the entity known as Ramtha
channeled by JZ Knight. He boldly affirms that our true nature is spiritual. God lives in you as
what is defined as Spirit (Ramtha, 2004, p. 133). Ramtha (2004) also tells us that our mind
creates our reality, and our everyday life is a product of our thoughts. He states that our mind
uses the consciousness and energy of our Spiritual Source to create our life conditions. Finally,
what he calls in turn, God, the Void, and the Source of all, has given us, his creation, only one
command: Make of me what you want. Be the Creator. I give you anything you want. There
is no right or wrong; there is only evolution. There is only creativity (Ramtha, 2004, 177).
Ramtha`s position (2004) is that consciousness is awareness that contains energy.
According to him, consciousness and its accompanying energy create reality by coming into the
brain to create thoughts. The brain takes this stream of incoming consciousness and shapes it into
13
thought forms that are stored there. Mind is the product of consciousness which is the collection
of thought forms or memory in the brain. This collection of thoughts gathers in the form of
knowledge and turns into mental images. The brain then holds these images in front of the
neocortex to collapse the energy of these thoughts into form. Ramtha (2004) relates this
description to that of an Observer in quantum physics who focuses on an energy wave to collapse
it into a particle that is physically observable. So physical life is the result of the condensation of
energy, and its visible appearance is according to the consciousness we have of it. The problem
with that process is that it works so well that whatever we put on our mental screen, whether
divine perfection or mental limitations, will manifest if we keep focusing on it.
Ramtha (2004) maintains that most people are on autopilot. Their mind creates reality
using past thoughts that serve either the body or the personality, and the basic need of both of
these entities is survival. As he puts so aptly: You can lose your focus on God quicker in the
midst of hunger than anything else (Ramtha, 2004, 133). When people are weak spirited, they
create their reality based on their genetic destiny. That is their past physical and bodily history.
The same limited and limiting life experiences are repeated over and over again and they learn
nothing new. His suggested ideal is for us to act like the Observer, the Spirit that draws on both
consciousness and energy, to create evolutionary and creative thoughts that express more life.
When we focus on something new and wonderful, our current reality can dissolve to make room
for the new reality that is precipitating. This is because a constant focus on what is expected
rather than what is seen is what produces change (Ramtha, 2004, p. 225).
He professes that the only thing that limit people's ability to create new things is their
acceptance of what is possible for them. Some often find themselves able to create anew in
certain aspects of their lives, yet unable to do so in others. This reflects their acceptance in some
areas of their lives versus their denial in others. Accepting apparent limitations means they have
14
made up their mind about it. This freezes the energy and locks these patterns in place until they
are ready to change their minds. Individuals who accept ill health, financial difficulties,
relationship issues, or poor self-esteem develop energy and consciousness bonds with those
issues. They can only dissolve them by taking their focus off these limitations and imagine
instead something better and different for themselves.
Deborah L. Price (2003) is a money coach who has studied the inherited unconscious
patterns of thoughts and images that specifically affect our relationship with money. She too is of
a view that we are subject to collective and individual limiting myths. These archetypes are often
active in our lives. She believes that our unconscious collective history combined with our
individual conscious upbringing dictate the prosperity or lack thereof that manifest in our lives.
While we are born hardwired with our collective unconscious beliefs, we acquire and process
additional conscious and unconscious beliefs from birth. Although we may experience success in
some areas of our lives, we may revert to very ineffectual, irrational, and emotional approaches
when dealing with money. Our experience is then one of frustration, limitations, and lack. We
feel like a victim of our life circumstances, instead of being its master.
To become what she terms money magicians," we must become aware of the personal
and collective myths that hide within us as stagnant shadowy energy. We must then release these
blocks, using self-love and forgiveness, to move beyond our limiting archetypal patterns. Making
peace with our history should enable us to create an energy field that reflects and attracts the
energy of money. It should facilitate the reconnection to our unlimited creative energy to fulfill
our needs and wants.
Another source of spiritual information that supports Cayce's position is Saint Germain
channeled through Godfr Ray King. He offers similar information about the process of
15
manifestation. In the book I AM' Discourses, Saint Germain's opening statement gives us a
similar message,
Life, in all its Activities everywhere manifest, is God in Action; and it is only through
lack of the understanding of applied thought and feeling that mankind is constantly
interrupting the pure flow of that Perfect Essence of Life which would, without
interference, express its perfection everywhere. (1998, p. 2)
He informs us that Life can express itself in its most perfect and prosperous qualities as
long as our thoughts and feelings are held to the highest ideals. While the principle and process of
manifestation are described in different words, the resemblances are striking. For example, we
are told again that, there is only one Energy that can be used, and that is the Life Principle in the
individual, which is God's Energy (Saint Germain, 1985, p. 96). So we can translate this to mean
that there is one source of energy, which is God, from which an individual can draw to manifest
the life he or she desires.
When we go to the next step of manifestation, we are informed that the mind plays a
crucial role, for it is necessary to recognize your thought as the molder of form (Saint
Germain, 1985, p.190). A little further, we have the unequivocal statement that thought
creates all things (Saint Germain, 1985, p. 198). For Saint Germain, the process of physical
manifestation always starts with a mental picture we hold in our minds. That thought draws on
the universal substance to charge and accumulate energy in the body or physical conditions.
When held sufficiently long and steady, this focused energy produces the desired physical form
according to the quality of our thoughts.
Other conditions for manifestation are comparable. Desire is the motive power by which
thoughts produce the manifestation. This is because desire is the Soul trying to find expression in
our three dimensional reality. Unflinching determination and faith are also required to manifest
16
what we desire, because hope becomes faith and faith becomes reality (Saint Germain, 1998, p.
121). So letting distractions, discouragement, and disbelief interfere with our attempt at
manifestation may delay or even dissolve what we have achieved.
Another essential quality for manifestation is the need for clarity,
...unless you create the Picture clear, distinct and definite in your own mindyou do
not have a Cup so to speak into which the Energy and the Power of your Life can
concentrate with enough pressure to become the thing manifest in the outer world which
you desire. (Saint Germain, 2003, p. 4)
A last requirement for precipitation to occur is singularity of focus. We may delay or stop
the accomplishment of our desire if we consciously or unconsciously divide our attention and
power. What happens then is that two opposing forces are fighting each other and all the energy
necessary for the manifestation of our desire dissipates in the mental and emotional conflict
occurring. One difference that exists with Thurston and Fazel`s approach is that size does not
matter. Saint Germain (1985) tells us that if faith is present, we can as easily manifest ten
thousand dollars as we can ten cents.
Other points of agreement include free will and the need for ideals. The channeled
information affirms that we are the governor of our lives, and so we must use our free will to
command the spiritual energy at our disposal. We are warned that energy is always suggestible. If
we do not consciously use it for constructive purposes, the unconscious patterns that lurk in our
minds will direct it in some other undesirable manner. So our poor choices of thought and feeling
will create inharmonious circumstances in our current experience. Mastering our minds enables
us to focus only on positive constructive idealistic thoughts which will manifest in kind in our
physical conditions.
17
Saint Germain makes one more point. He tells us that the spiritual energy that is our
Stream of Life, by which the outer is sustained and given its activity, (1985, p.19) anchors
itself in our body in seven different points. These seven points refer to the chakras which are seen
as the main vortices of activity and expression of the divine in man.
B-
Chakras: from one source to seven energies

Barbara Ann Brennan is a scientist and healer who has studied intensively the domains of
higher dimensions of consciousness and energy. Her clairvoyant gifts seem to indicate that the
physical world, including our physical body, rests on a universal energy grid. Everything that is
created in the physical world must first exist or be created in the world of life energy (Barbara,
Ann Brennan, 1993, p.13). In her view, the human energy field, also called the auric field, is the
basis for the human body. It consists of seven layers of energies which extend from inside the
body outwards from the skin.
The aura also includes chakras. Chakras are intake organs of energy that are said to exist
on each of the seven levels of the auric field. They channel specific energies from the universal
energy field to feed and support each of the energy bodies. Spiritual experts disagree on the total
number of chakras that exist, yet most concur that there are seven major chakras aligned from the
bottom to the top of the spine, one for each energy level. Clairvoyants see them as wheels,
spinning discs, or funnels.
Marc Beriault (2002) is a shaman who has been doing physical and spiritual healing for
35 years. He sees chakras as spinning wheels that pump conscious life energy from higher levels
of consciousness into the physical body. According to him, they act like transformers that step
down high level energy to make it usable by our physical body. They vitalize all parts of the
nervous system including, brain, spine, and major nerve plexuses. They supposedly each connect
to a different gland of the endocrine system. They either take part or possibly control all aspects
18
of bodily functions such as thinking and memory, management of feelings and emotions, and
biological functioning and cellular reproduction.
Brennan (1993) perceives the lowest chakra to open down towards the earth and the
highest chakra to open up towards the sky. She sees that the other five chakras have a front and
back funnel originating from the spine. The chakras have a wider opening on the outside of the
body to take in a specific energy from the universal energy field and bring it into the tip of each
funnel inside the body near the spine.
The lowest of these chakras is usually called the root or base chakra. It can be observed at
the base of our spine between our legs and faces downward. Brennan (1993) describes it as the
center of the red energy that powers our ability to function in physical reality. She perceives the
second chakra between the base of spine and the navel. The sacral chakra faces both forward and
backward and brings in the orange energy of creativity, sexuality, and pleasure. The third chakra
is the solar plexus chakra. It should shine in the bright yellow energy of clarity, order, and
intellect. The fourth chakra rests at the heart level. It draws in the green healing energy of love,
compassion, and forgiveness.
Clare Prophet is a spiritual teacher. In a co-authored book, Clare and Spadaro (2000) offer
that the throat chakra feeds us the blue energy of truth, will, courage, and faith. The sixth chakra
or third eye chakra centers in the forehead between the eyebrows. Brenda Davies (2000) who is a
medical clairvoyant perceives it to bring in the dark blue indigo frequency of imagination,
inspiration, and intuition to power our mental perception and manifestation abilities. The crown
chakra opens up to the sky and brings in a violet whitish energy that ideally connects us with our
spiritual essence. This energy is one of wholeness, oneness, alignment, connectedness,
transcendence, and integration. Figure 1 is called The Human Figure and the Seven Chakras. It
shows all seven chakras, their colors, locations, orientations, and names.

When our chakras are able to fully charge our energy bodies, our life experiences should
be fulfilling and our needs met. The more levels or bodies that you have developed; the fuller
and broader your life experience will be (Barbara Ann Brennan, 1993, p. 19). Each layer of this
field has a different frequency which corresponds to a different aspect of life experience.
The medical intuitives and spiritual practitioners referred to in this study offer the
following description of the psychological motivations, emotional needs, and physical desires
that are fuelled and supported by each level of the auric field. Carol Ritberger (1998), another
medical intuitive, tells us that the first layer associated with the root chakra addresses our need
for security and survival. It powers our ability to meet our physiological and material needs and
ensure our physical safety. Its red energy grounds us to achieve a stable and solid physical
identity. It roots us in the physical world through our five senses. It also meets our desire to
affirm our identity as part of a tribe. Finally, it supports our physical health and vitality.
Davies (2000) believes that the orange frequency of the second level focuses on our
emotional needs. This is where our desire for emotional satisfaction, safety, and control rests. The
energy of the sacral chakra allows us to accept ourselves emotionally and to connect with others
through social interaction. It also energizes our desire to enjoy material things. So it includes our
artistic and creative needs and our love of physical beauty and harmony. And it is concerned with
the enjoyment of our sexuality and sensuality.
Caroline Myss is also a clairvoyant healer and teacher. It is Myss` (1996) position that the
third layer concerns our need for personal power. Its yellow energy empowers our drive for
clarity and rationality, thus it assists us to establish order and structures to manage our life.
Analytical linear problem solving and intellectual learning are key components of this level. It
fuels our need for power and the self-confidence and self-esteem that come from it. Personal selfcontrol and the drive to control our world occur at that level. Finally, the desires for achievement,
21
recognition and success in material life all have their source at that level. Therefore, this is where
she locates the seat of our personality.
According to Doreen Virtue (1998), a spiritual metaphysician, the fourth chakra and level
of our aura manifests our experiences of love and relationships. It shapes how we feel about
ourselves and each other. It fills our need to love and be loved by others. It includes the many
expressions of love such as compassion, caring, intimacy, and tenderness. Forgiveness and the
ability to heal are an important part of this level, and so is the need to learn detachment and
balance of self versus others. Learning to balance the physical and spiritual within self is another
facet of this field of life experience.
Barbara Ann Brennan (1993) tells us that the fifth level of the throat chakra deals with
free will and the expression of our truth and purpose in a creative manner. So the need to be
honest and have integrity is paramount. There is a concurrent desire to be a co-creator of our
world by following one's dreams. This layer holds the energy of faith, courage, and willpower. It
centers on communication through expressive and creative means. Our motivation is to be heard
and counted.
Intuitives have wide ranging views on the sixth level and the third eye chakra. However,
they usually agree that it focuses on the need for clear inner vision to manifest our future and our
potential. It is about recreating ourselves and manifesting the life conditions we want. It is about
creative imagination, intuition, and inspiration. It includes also clairvoyance and psychic abilities.
Cyndi Dale (2004), a clairvoyant counselor, believes this level manages the strategic planning
and the big picture of our lives to achieve long term success and security. Values, ideals, and
intentions are essential components of this level. Emotional intelligence and conceptual
understanding are also supposed to balance each other to produce wisdom.
22
The seventh and last level is far reaching. Davies (2000) proposes it supports our search
for the meaning of life and our place in the world. It implies a connection with the divine and the
understanding of universal truth. This is where our desire for knowing who we are and what we
are resides. There is also the need for alignment of all our parts including the physical, the
emotional, the mental, and the spiritual for an integration of all aspects of our lives. In essence, it
is generally acknowledged to be about oneness and wholeness.
Although each layer supports specific needs and desires, it does not mean that they work
in isolation. Barbara Ann Brennan tells us that the energy from all the chakras laces up and
down through the vertical power current. Each color is woven together, somewhat like a rope
made of beautiful pulsating light of all colors (1993, p. 28). So each chakra channels a specific
energy that distributes itself horizontally to form a layer of our energy body. However, all
chakras also inform each other with their own energy through this vertical connection.
This integrated functioning is critical to ensure the dominance of what Beriault (2002)
calls the "Life Authority." He believes that life energy is always informed. So whatever qualities
it carries should normally energize all functions of the individual. For instance, physical courage
should encourage an individual to be bold and forthright in social or intimate relations. Our
personal power should become manifest in our verbal expressions. The chakras, as a network of
transmission of energy and information, ensure that the whole body acts in accordance with the
dominant information of the energy system. So if the auric field is performing in an ideal fashion,
it should empower us manifest prosperity in all aspects of our life experiences.
Nonetheless, if we have undergone painful or traumatic life events, we may have
withdrawn our consciousness from that part of our life experience. The result in our auric field
and chakras could be frozen blocks of energy consciousness that also imprint our psyche. Such
23
blocks can attract similar blocks to aggregate into a crystallized psychic conglomerate. Prosperity
in the levels affected may be curtailed in accord with the severity and impact of these blocks.
Many other healers and metaphysicians corroborate this view of our energetic anatomy
and physiology. Doreen Virtue (1998) confirms that we have access to virtually unlimited energy
within us. Chakras receive and radiate life energy constantly through the body to ensure its
vitality. Each chakra specializes in supplying energy to meet one aspect of our lives. There is a
chakra for money and career, relationships, your future, appetite and lifestyle habits and goals
and aspirations (Doreen Virtue, 1998, p. ix). The chakras situated in the lower part of the body
correspond to the issues of the physical world, and the chakras in the higher part of the body take
care of our spiritual needs.
Your thoughts control the energy flow within and around you. Whatever you think about
determines how you feel and what you experience (Doreen Virtue, 1998, p. vii). According to
her, chakras are like fans that move the energy. If our thoughts are positive and empowering, our
chakras are fully open and effective. The energy flow through them will be unrestricted and
sufficient to meet our needs and desires. If, however, we hold negative or inharmonious thoughts
such as fear, worry, or doubt; our chakras can become dirty with dense dark energy. They may
also slow down or reverse their spinning rates. Finally, they could shrink, become distorted, and
out of balance so as to restrict the energy we need to meet our life issues.
Caroline Myss talks about the power of the human spirit in her bestseller Anatomy of the
Spirit. She writes in her introduction that the Divine is locked into our biological system in
seven stages of power that lead us to become more refined and transcendent in our personal
power (Caroline Myss, 1996, p. xiii). Myss' (1996) believes that since our body is the
manifestation of our spirit, our biography becomes our biology. The strengths and weaknesses we
store in our energy bodies filter down to our physical body and become encoded in our genetics
24
and in our cells. These become the biological repository of the good and bad vibrational patterns
of our attitudes, belief systems, and emotional patterns. So if we hold them long and strongly
enough, the negative and limiting emotional, mental, and energetic blocks we imprint in our cells
can eventually manifest as physical illnesses.
Fortunately, her view is that positive energy works more effectively than negative energy
in each and every situation (Caroline Myss, 1996, p. 61). In her experience, negative patterns
must be dominant for a long time before physical disease can occur. Consequently, all illnesses
can be healed, if the loss of personal power coming from these patterns is identified and stopped.
The restoration of our health is contingent on our recalling the purpose, the ideal, and the truth of
the seven primary energies of the Divine within us.
Brenda Davies (2000) perceives the chakras power the human body. The energies flowing
through them keep it healthy and alive. The chakras also enliven the aura around the physical
body. The aura has seven layers of varying thicknesses and energy frequencies each associated
with one of the chakras. It stores thoughts, emotions, and memories. Davies explains that for all
of us, life events, pain and emotional disturbance set up blocks that prevent the free and natural
flow of energy, leading to disease (2000, p. 4). She goes on to declare that the majority of us
survive with disturbed and distorted chakras (Davies, 2000, p. 48). She believes we install such
blocks to protect ourselves against a specific threat at a specific time. Because we do so
unconsciously, we usually fail to remove them when they become stumbling blocks that prevent
our further growth.
Davies (2000) believes that when we are ready, spiritual healers can support us a great
deal in our efforts for self-healing. It is like starting a car with a dead battery by using jumper
cables. The healer transfers the initial boost of energy to get you started but you must then do
your part by keeping the engine running (Davies, 2000, p. 39). Most people are usually unable to
25
keep this charge up the first time. Additional sessions of healing can assist in a progressive
adjustment to a renewed sense of health, until the new way of being has been established
permanently.
The healing process is also gradual because all chakras are linked. Davies (2000) likewise
holds the view that a central power conduit links all seven chakras so that they are all intimately
connected and interdependent. She believes that they do not work in isolation and are affected by
the strengths and weaknesses of the others. So a block at one level can affect all others causing
distress at the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. For example, a blockage at the third chakra
can impede the energy flow to all higher chakras. When that chakra is healed, its new found
power can flow again to benefit the whole system. All chakras then seek a new balance and
optimal functionality level. When this occurs, we are likely to feel an increase in our overall
power. We will start attracting more easily the things we want in our lives to fulfill our potential.
C-
Connecting seven chakras and seven human needs

Carol Ritberger is a medical intuitive and diagnostician who has focused her efforts on the
connection between the chakras and the human personality. She studied how personality
expresses itself in the human energy system, the connection between personality behavioral
patterns and the chakras, the emotional patterns of chakras, and the correlation between
personality disorders and blockages within the energy systems (Ritberger, 1998, p. 23).
Her findings also suggest that our life experiences imprint themselves in our energy
system. So while positive experiences favor and increase our available energy, negative
experiences produce blocks that clog its natural flow. She sees our chakra system as a
communication network that sends, receives, and records all experiences past and present, all
thoughts and memories, and all emotional reactions. This energetic memory includes both our
conscious and subconscious minds and reflects the perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and values
26
upon which our body acts. Dr Ritberger (1998) concludes that the pattern of our personality,
which is based on our innate and learned perceptions, attitudes, beliefs, and values, is stored in
our energetic system. It therefore shapes our physical behaviors and circumstances.
According to Ritberger (1998), our perceptions frame how we view ourselves, our life
experiences and the world around us. They also determine the positive or negative emotional
energy to which we attach our personal views. That framework dictates our attitudes and values
towards every event or condition in our lives. Our strong feelings about something we value will
form the foundation of our beliefs, our choices, and our behaviors. Attempting to change these is
a difficult thing because we usually feel justified in what we do or do not do. These are so
ingrained in us that they have become unconscious and are very difficult to root out. While our
conscious mind may want to choose a new direction, our unconscious mind is likely to fight us to
stay our present course with outdated beliefs and programs that are frozen in our energy system.
The battle between the minds inhibits the ability to create the life and health we so desire.
It keeps us locked in old patterns of behavior that prevent us from moving forward in our
personal development and spiritual growth. The confusion generated by the battle of
the conscious and subconscious minds creates . a frenzied, chaotic energy that
interpenetrates all layers of the energy systems. This chaos drains us energetically. It
creates mental, emotional, and physical stress and weakens our immune system.
(Ritberger, 1998, p. 64)
This perspective supports the existence of two critical links. The first is how our chakras
and our personality seem to reflect each other. The second is how the state of our minds impacts
our ability to manifest at the physical level. Studying both helps us to better understand how our
psychological functioning shapes our spiritual world into our physical reality. It also offers us an
effective key to release our self-imposed limitations and to find success in our lives.
27
Many psychologists have developed personality theories to explain our predictable

behavior patterns. They have emphasized one aspect of personality or another. Freud focused on
libido connected with the first chakra. Assagioli studied spirituality represented by the seventh
chakra. Adler related our drives to insecurity of the fourth chakra while Jung based behavior on
the intuition of the sixth chakra. Ritberger (1998) believes such approaches categorize human
behavior too narrowly and do not take into account the whole individual. She feels there is a
better way to look at the whole individual. By linking the predictable behavioral patterns of
personality with the predictable psychological and emotional responses of the chakra system, we
add to the ever-growing picture (Ritberger, 1998, p. 182).
One psychologist who attempted to have a more encompassing theory of personality
connected with human motivation is Abraham Maslow. He referred to his approach as a holisticdynamic theory because it was trying to integrate and synthesize the approaches from many other
psychologists. He wanted his theory to reflect the profoundly human nature of human nature
(Maslow, 1987, p. ix). He saw two categories of needs: the four basic or lower needs and the
three higher or growth needs. He then split these further to develop what is known as Maslow's
Hierarchical Pyramid of Needs. (See Figure 2)
He believed that the four basic needs that people tried to satisfy in order of potency were
their physiological needs, their safety needs, their love needs, and their esteem needs. He thought
that the physiological needs always preempted the other needs until they were met. So all drive
and capacities aimed to fulfill this first basic need, and other needs and capacities lay dormant or
were pushed in the background until it was satisfied. Yet if deprivation focused an individual's
attention and energy on a lack, gratification released him or her to the emergence of higher needs.
And gratification of these new needs allowed the emergence of yet higher needs all the way up
the pyramid.

His second level of needs is the safety needs. Maslow (1987) sees them emerging as soon
as the physiological needs are fairly well met. They include the desire for safety, stability,
reliability, boundaries, structure, law and order. Here again a person may be dominated by these
needs and mobilize all available resources to meet them. Having a secure job, a savings account
and a good insurance coverage usually meets most people's safety needs in normal times and
allows them to move up to higher needs. However, threats to social order can produce a
regression from higher needs to come back to this more basic level.
If the first two basic needs are met, people move on to the satisfaction of the love and
belonging needs. At this third level, a person will seek to make his or her place in a group or
family through affectionate relationships. There is a need to belong to one's social kind, clan or
class. The love aspect of this need means both receiving love from others and giving it to others.
The fourth basic need is to gain firm self-esteem and strong self-respect and to receive the
appreciation of others. This need includes a desire for strength, achievement, competence,
mastery, confidence, and independence. Maslow (1987) observes that people at that level are also
looking for prestige, status, fame, glory, recognition, attention, dignity, and appreciation. Meeting
this need leads to self-confidence, self-worth, and a sense of mastery over the world. Being
deficient at this level produces instead feelings of helplessness, inferiority, and impotence.
Once people satisfy those four basic needs to some degree, then their higher needs
emerge. These include the desire to know and to understand. Maslow (1987) postulates that the
emergence of this need to know about the universe is partly in response to the need to feel safe in
the world. Also, healthy people are attracted to the unknown and the mysterious. Finally, the
gratification of the cognitive impulses is subjectively satisfying and yields end-experience
(Maslow, 1987, p. 50). Some have called this need the search for meaning and values. The
30
aesthetic need includes the desire for order, symmetry, beauty, system, structure, and closure.
This need is less known, yet seems to be an intrinsic part of many individuals.
The above higher needs are part and parcel of what Maslow (1987) refers to as the selfactualization needs. He feels that the need for self-actualization is the desire of individuals to do
what they are fitted for. This is about being true to their nature and their potential. At this level,
the fulfillment of this need is very individual.
The hierarchy of these needs is not as rigid as it may first appear. For instance, in some
people self-esteem seems more important than love and in others, creativity supersedes
everything else. Certain people have had so much difficulty to meet a basic need that they have
lost further aspirations. Conversely, if a basic need has always been met, it may be undervalued
and neglected. Exceptions exist depending on individual circumstances.
Maslow (1987) further advances that a lower need does not have to be met 100% before a
superior need emerges. Most people are partially satisfied and partially frustrated in their basic
needs. A realistic model of satisfaction would be one of decreasing percentages of satisfaction as
people climb the pyramid. The problem is that these needs are more often unconscious than
conscious in the average person. This makes them very hard to fulfill. And while the behaviors
are associated with the satisfaction of needs, identifying unmet needs through behavior is not an
easy task. This is because most behaviors are determined by several needs simultaneously rather
than by one alone. In an attempt to identify and fulfill such needs, everyday desires have to be
looked at as surface indicators of more basic needs (Maslow, 1987, p. 56).
One point that stands out clearly is that the gratification of needs is essential in
understanding what motivates people. If a need is unmet, it is a strong motivator. If it is satisfied,
it becomes submerged and loses its power to move individuals. Hence, people who are able to
meet their basic needs during their formative years become more autonomous and independent of
31
their lower needs as adults. For Maslow (1987), healthy persons are therefore those who need to
focus solely on the development and actualization of their potential. Conversely, individuals who
experience chronic or persistent deprivation of lower needs are likely to manifest disease.
Maslow (1987) embraces the theory of needs gratification with caution. In some cases,
higher needs can emerge even though lower needs have not been fully met. This may happen if a
person has renounced, suppressed, sublimated, or deprived his or her lower needs. But generally
speaking, the fulfillment of lower needs means their devaluation and disappearance and the
emergence of higher needs. One essential point is that the satisfaction of needs is almost always
related to directly related satisfiers. No substitution is possible. Only love fulfills the love hungry.
Only safety reassures the insecure. And only food satisfies the starving. However, when
gratification occurs, the dominance of that need disappears. Conversely, the frustration of a lower
need means its continued dominance long past its normal time.
Therefore, the satisfaction or not of one's needs contributes strongly to one's character
formation and personality. As Maslow puts so succinctly, there is a character difference between
the man who feels safe and the one who lives his life out as if he were a spy in enemy territory
(1987, p. 66). The reason is that the fulfillment of a need permits the inner character building of
that trait. This also means that that degree of basic need gratification is positively correlated with
the degree of positive health (Maslow, 1987, 67). So the more an individual satisfies his or her
needs, the healthier he or she should be. The more individuals meet their basic needs, the more
they are able to concentrate on self-actualization. They are able to follow intrinsic growth
tendencies to become more autonomous and self-determined and less subject to environmental
determinism.
One last point to note is that it is the organism itself that determines the order of need
fulfillment. This does not mean that there is antagonism between the lower and higher needs, but
32
rather that the higher ones develop only on the precondition of the lower needs being met. So
when people find it easy and good to survive, they are able to grow to fulfill their potential.
D-
Manifesting prosperity through the chakras

Cyndi Dale is an intuitive counselor who has put much of the above together in her book
"Attracting Prosperity Through the Chakras." Dale (2004) connects our ability to manifest
prosperity to our energy genetics and our personality. She tells us how our chakras convert
spiritual energy into physical matter through the patterns of our personality and thus govern our
life, our actions, and our experience of prosperity. Her perspective is that the spirit entering our
flesh is infinitely generous. And when we focus on our path and spiritual contribution to the
world, we energize our experience of prosperity.
According to her, our Spirit manifests our inner goals and desires on the physical plane by
bringing informed energy through our chakras. Each chakra has a different physical, emotional,
mental, and spiritual function and connects with a different set of physical organs (Dale, 2004,
14). She sees the chakras holding specific energies, skills, values, purposes, and functionalities.
Together with the energy bodies, they constitute the energy genetics that determine our basic
nature and our doors to abundance. Using a series of statements, Dale (2004) devised a test to
determine our energy personality and identify our chakras` strengths and weaknesses. She
hypothesizes that a healthy personality equates with strong clear chakras, and together they bring
success and abundance. Unfortunately, if we have developed personality and energy blocks
during our upbringing, our prosperity will suffer in consequence.
Using this questionnaire to create a self-portrait, Dale proposes that the easiest way to
deal with money matters through the chakras is to operate from your strengths (2004, 109).
Looking at our strong chakras guides us to recognize our spiritual purpose so we can manifest the
prosperity we desire. Dale (2004) invokes four different avenues to achieve this. With the
33
energies available to us, we can choose to create through physical efforts alone. This allows us to
create the life we want through hard work, strength of character, and persistence. Creating this
way works if our chakras supply us with the necessary energy. However, this requires a lot of
energy which may negatively affect our inner and outer balance.
An easier way to create our reality is through emotional manifestation. This type of
manifesting rests on the principle that a belief energized with a feeling will motivate us into
shaping our reality. Emotions can back a manifestation or its driving goal. We may create
through joy for example or to alleviate fear. Each chakra will function using specific positive
feelings or their negative counterparts. Using positive emotional energy to manifest that which
we desire can be very powerful. But creating through negative emotions can drain us and create
unwanted results.
Mental beliefs are still at the base of both types of manifestation. The belief in the
principle of cause and effect supports our physical efforts and our feelings empower our beliefs.
Mental manifestation uses beliefs to create, but since we have both positive and negative beliefs,
our chakras can hold both sets as well. So while positive manifestation can be very successful,
negative beliefs can be equally effective at producing lack and limitations. Negative beliefs are
like trees that develop countless underground roots. Unearthing a negative mindset to turn it into
a positive constructive one can be a very long and difficult process.
According to Dale (2004), the ideal way to manifest prosperity is to discover our spiritual
mission so we can call on Spirit to guide and support us. This way, we are able to access all the
spiritual energy we need to easily manifest a prosperous life.

5
Hypothesis
A-
One Spiritual Source
34
This study uses the above understanding of how we create our physical reality and how
our motivational psychological needs drive us to propose the following hypothesis. Prosperity is
an energy that flows from one spiritual source into our seven chakras to meet our seven
fundamental human and spiritual needs in a preferred ascending order. Physical abundance is
experienced in all its seven dimensions to the degree that our corresponding psychological and
emotional patterns allow these energies to satisfy or frustrate our needs.
The fundamental principle that supports this view is Cayce's tenet (254-4) that Spirit is
the Life, mind is the builder and the physical is the result." This has several ramifications.
First of all, it means that abundance in all its dimensions including financial abundance
has a spiritual source, and that source is unique. Spirit is the willing source of all life, light,
energy, or power that is available to us. Cayce (345-2) concurs when he states: Know that all
power, or all force, is an emanation of One Spirit." Yet Cayce is not alone in his beliefs. He is
corroborated by many other spiritual teachers. One such source of information is Saint Germain
channeled through Godfrey Ray King, There is only one energy that can be used, and that is the
Life Principle in the individual, which is God's energy (Saint Germain, 1985, p.198). Another
source of information is Ramtha channeled through JZ Knight. His position is also that God
lives in you as what is defined as Spirit (2004, p. 133). An individual who holds this same
perspective is Dr. Joseph Murphy. The author, teacher, and lecturer on prosperity and
metaphysics also submits that there is only One Fundamental Energy in the world, a Cosmic
Energizer, and each one of us is a channel through which this Force is seeking an outlet
(Murphy, 1974, p. 17).
35
This brings me to the second point under consideration. Energy is creative. Spirit's intent
is for us to be co-creators with the Source using the same energy and process to manifest our own
lives and reality. Ramtha tells us that God, the Void, and the Source of all, has given us, his
creation, only one command, make of me what you want. Be the Creator. I give you anything
you want. There is no right or wrong; there is only evolution. There is only creativity (2004, p.
177). Having been endowed with free will, we may, in principle, manifest all things we desire.
Saint Germain (2003) abounds in the same direction affirming that we are the governor of our
lives and must use our free will to command the energy at our disposal. However, as human
beings we usually prefer to experience things that make us feel happy and prosperous.
So Cayce (1671-2) offers us more guidance on the matter: "Material success - so called will be the results of well applied spiritual and mental purposes and desires by the entity." He is
suggesting that to be satisfied with our creations, we should follow what he refers to as ideals.
Ideals are spiritual principles, patterns, purposes, and attributes that can guide us to manifest only
things and experiences that are harmonious and fulfilling for us. Florence Scovel Shinn holds the
same view about manifesting abundance through ideals. She describes Spirit as the God Mind
within each man (Scovel Shinn, 2001, p. 12). That Mind holds the perfect ideas to empower an
individual to create perfect health, wealth, happiness, and self-expression.
Summarizing, I hold the source of our physical reality to be a single spiritual source of
energy. That source can manifest positive and creative things and experiences in our lives, if we
follow divine ideals and patterns.
B-
Seven chakras for seven dimensions of prosperity

Cayce affirms that the mind molds the energy it receives from Spirit. Barbara Ann, on her
part, perceives that the physical world, including our physical body, rests on a universal energy
grid. She believes the human energy field, also called the aura, is the basis for the human body. It
36
has seven layers of different energy frequencies which correspond to different aspects of life
experiences.
A general consensus of medical intuitives and metaphysicians affirms that the first layer
focuses on our need for safety, survival, physical health and identity, and grounding in the
material world. The second level addresses our need for emotional security and satisfaction. It
also responds to our desire for social belonging, artistic expression, aesthetic harmony, and
sexual and sensual pleasure. The third energy body takes care of our mental issues. It fulfills our
desire for clarity, rationality, order, and structures. It concerns itself with personal power, selfesteem, and self-confidence. It supports intellectual learning and understanding. It also seeks to
gratify our wants in terms of achievement, recognition, and success in material life. The level of
the heart looks after our love needs. It nurtures relationships that are loving, intimate, caring, and
compassionate. It also includes the qualities of healing and balance. The fifth layer is about the
expression of our truth and purpose in a creative manner. It backs our need for courage, honesty,
and integrity. It fuels and enables all aspects of communication. The sixth energy body fulfills
our desire for self-actualization of our future and our potential. It is about clear inner vision,
creative imagination, inspiration, and insights. It holds our drive for conceptual understanding
and long term planning of our lives. The last layer answers our desire to connect with the spiritual
and to find meaning in our lives. It is concerned about the integration of all our other needs into a
whole. It seeks alignment and wholeness.
Each energy body couples with a chakra. Each chakra is an energy intake organ that
channels specific energy from the universal field to feed one layer of the aura. All chakras are
aligned from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. The root chakra brings in the red
energy of vitality and strength. The sacral chakra above it brings in the orange energy of
enthusiasm, creativity, and joyfulness. It fuels our emotions. The solar plexus chakra brings in a
37
clear yellow energy which powers our mental abilities and personality. The heart chakra channels
the green energy of healing and love. The throat chakra is concerned with energies of expression
purpose, and truth. The sixth chakra, also referred as our third eye, brings the indigo energy of
vision, imagination, and manifestation. The last chakra opens up to the sky at the top of our head
with a violet energy. This energy's function is to connect us with our spiritual identity through
alignment and integration.
All these chakras connect with a main vertical power conduit. According to Brennan
(1993), this is where the energies of our chakras mingle and work together to create our physical
body and conditions. This means that our mind shapes our reality using the energies of our
chakras to manifest prosperity in its seven dimensions. Thurston and Fazel (1992) tell us that
during this process, the mind accumulates the necessary energy to crystallize the desired thing in
the material reality. The second function of the mind is to create the mental mold that allows the
spiritual energy to take form in the physical world. Ramtha (2004) states that the mind has a
collection of thought forms stored in memory that it draws upon to impress the neocortex and
condense this energy into visible form.
C-
Ideals versus limitations

A perfect creative process would draw on our ideals to create joyful and prosperous
results. Everyday experience seems to contradict this view of reality. Many people make choices
which result in unsatisfying life conditions. While we may consciously want to create using
positive thoughts and emotions that mirror our ideals, our unconscious mind may hold contrary
views, beliefs, and attitudes. In the process of creation, Murphy (1974) reminds us that if there is
a conflict between the conscious and our unconscious, our dominant idea will always win. So if
our unconscious has been harboring some highly charged negative emotions and ingrained
limiting beliefs for a very long time, these may supersede our conscious efforts for a positive
38
manifestation. They may create instead diseases in our physical body and inharmony in our life
circumstances.
The majority of psychologists believe that our personality harbors limiting blocks and
beliefs that stop us from manifesting our full potential and ideal life. Many spiritual practitioners
feel the same way. The difference is that they make an additional connection. According to
Thurston and Fazel (1992) who take Cayce as reference, our energy mental body contains the
living memory of all our thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, and patterns held in our lifetime. Carol
Ritberger (1998) studied how the human personality connects with our energetic system. She too
feels that our aura and chakra system record all thoughts, memories, experiences, and emotional
reactions. So our conscious and unconscious perceptions, attitudes, values, and beliefs are all
imprinted and held in our energetic memory.
Barbara Ann Brennan (1993) maintains that as we grow up, we go through painful life
experiences, and we withdraw ourselves from the pain. These painful psychic impressions block
the flow of energy and create frozen blocks of energy consciousness in our chakras and auric
field. Caroline Myss (1993) goes even further in insisting that our biography becomes our
biology. The strengths and weaknesses we store in our energy bodies filter down to our physical
bodies and become encoded in our genetics. So while we may function adequately with restricted
energy flows, long embraced negative beliefs can create physical disease.
According to Myss (1993), to restore our health and ideal life circumstances, we must
recall the ideal of the seven primary energies of the Divine in us. This means we must use our
free will to oppose negative mental and emotional patterns that manifest as destructive or limiting
physical manifestations. Thurston and Fazel (1992) tell us that by resisting the automatic pilot
that steer us back to such patterns, we can awaken our will to be the conscious co-creators of our
lives. This does not mean that we are able to coerce our unconscious, but rather that with
39
sustained efforts we can change our minds and feelings. This way, we can re-impress our
subconscious with positive, creative and prosperous ideas to produce ideal physical results.
This further supports my assumption that our minds can draw energy from our chakras
and use spiritual ideals to create prosperity. It also confirms the view that most people have
negative emotional blocks and limiting psychological patterns imprinted in their aura and chakra
system which distort or stop the physical manifestation of their desires.
Because many of our negative psychological and emotional patterns are unconscious, they
can be very hard to identify clearly enough to change them. Carol Ritberger (1998) has studied
personality behaviors and how they manifest in our energy system. Since our personalities are
imprinted in our chakra system, studying our psychological functioning can help determine how
and why we shape our physical reality the way we do. This may also help identify self-imposed
psychological and behavioral limitations that negatively impact our ability to manifest. Many
psychologists have developed personality theories to explain our predictable behavior patterns.
However, few seem to have been able to establish a wholistic psychological approach that can
connect with our spiritual energetic system.
D-
Maslow's needs met through the chakras

I believe that Maslow's hierarchical pyramid of needs and motivation may come close to
realizing this parallel. Maslow (1987) saw seven human needs separated in two categories. The
first four were the physiological needs, the safety needs, the love and belonging needs, and the
self-esteem needs. These four comprised the lower needs. The higher needs included the desire to
know and understand, the aesthetic need, and the need for self-actualization. We may observe a
general overlap and similarity with the needs fulfilled by the chakras. Maslow's two lowest needs
match the first red chakra's concerns with safety. His third level need for belonging and love
could be connected with the second chakra's focus on social acceptance and the fourth chakra's
40
energy of love. Maslow's motivation of self-esteem corresponds quite well with the energy of
power and self-esteem of the third chakra.
The agreement between Maslow's higher needs and the three higher chakras is not as
strong but still noteworthy. The need for self-actualization and the desire to know and understand
could be seen as part of the fifth, the sixth and the seventh chakra. The aesthetic need may be
related tentatively to the second chakra. The point is not to have a perfect match. Rather it is to
see if the principles of Maslow's theory of needs can explain some personality blocks and tell us
where to look for their imprint in our energy system. The theory is for our chakras to fill seven
fundamental human needs. Perhaps the similarity of purpose and needs between Maslow's theory
and the chakra system can lead us to seek for a similarity in the way they are fulfilled.
Maslow's theory (1987) is based on the hierarchy of needs. This means that as a general
guideline, unless a lower need is reasonably met, the higher one will not emerge. Yet the theory
of needs gratification must be embraced with caution. Lower needs do not have to be met 100%
before superior ones come forth. Higher needs can emerge even though lower needs have not
been met if these last have been renounced, suppressed, sublimated, or neglected. Most people
function with partially satisfied and partially frustrated needs. The problem is that while unmet
needs are strong motivators, these needs are often unconscious and difficult to identify and fulfill.
The other point for consideration is that no substitution is possible. Maslow (1987)
affirms that if a safety need is unmet, only an experience of safety will correct the situation. So
while denial of a need leads to dysfunction and disease, its satisfaction permits its integration in
the personality and leads to positive health and greater overall fulfillment. Thus, examining the
gratification or frustration of our needs can lead us to understand at what level of need lie the
blocks to our prosperity. In Ritberger`s words (1998), mapping the drives of the personality and
41
linking them back to the energies of the chakras may model how our mental functioning creates
or hampers prosperity at each level of our life experiences.

Assessing our seven dimensions of prosperity

To practically assess the validity of this hypothesis, I have developed an assessment test
consisting of two parts. Part one of this tool is a questionnaire. It is called The Seven Dimensions
of Prosperity Intake Assessment Test for Prosperity Coaching. It evaluates how well an
individual's mental beliefs, emotional attitudes, and physical behaviors currently allow the
satisfaction of his or her needs in these same dimensions. Part two consists in a reference table
that identifies how the energy of life splits itself into the seven chakras. I refer to it as The Seven
Dimensions of Prosperity Reference Table for Prosperity Coaching. It shows the ideal energies
necessary to meet our seven fundamental needs at the psychological, emotional, and physical
levels. It also shows how we can create prosperity in all seven of these dimensions when all
aspects of our being are in alignment with high ideals.

Reference Table for Prosperity Coaching

This reference table offers my perspective on the ideal process of creation starting with
the seven chakras all the way to the corresponding manifestations of physical prosperity.
I start with the seven chakras completely on the left of the table. These are from bottom to
top the root chakra, the sacral chakra, the solar plexus chakra, the heart chakra, the throat chakra,
the third eye chakra, and the crown chakra. The first point I will clarify is the reason why I base
this theory on seven chakras. Indeed, many clairvoyants have seen more than seven chakras.
Carol Ritberger (1998) perceives we have 13 chakras. The seven lower ones reside in the body,
and the six additional ones are located above us. The purpose of these ethereal chakras, as she
calls them, is to promote our desire for spiritual growth beyond our current reality. Cyndi Dale
(2004) is another intuitive who believes we have more than seven chakras. According to her, we
have 11. The chakras numbered 8 to 11 are located above our head, below our feet, and in our
hands. They bring spiritual energies that can enable us to play new roles this new millennium.
From Ruth White's (1994) perspective, we have 12 chakras all located in or close to the body. In
addition to the seven basic ones, she sees one extending from the heart and another from the third
eye chakra. She perceives another at the level of the nose and two more between the root and
sacral chakras. She believes these have recently developed in the human energy field to support
quantum leaps in our awareness. Another metaphysician is Doreen Virtue (1998) who sees
clairvoyantly and hears clairaudiently. She sees the seven basic chakras plus two ear chakras.
Finally, Barbara Ann Brennan counts seven major chakras in the human body, yet sees three
other entry points of energy at the levels of the head, the heart, and the hara.
I chose seven chakras only for several reasons. The first one is the general consensus that
exists for most spiritual practitioners regarding the seven chakras, their location, importance,
purpose, and colors. There is none about the others. Some individuals label these extra chakras as
43
minors. Other metaphysicians have not perceived them, and they deem their existence to be
questionable. Some of these additional chakras have little history, and few spiritual practitioners
know their purpose. Spiritual literature also tells us that the basic seven chakras connect to the
glands of the endocrine system, major nerve plexuses, and body organs. So the premise of an
energy transfer between the spiritual and physical levels is more plausible for these seven
chakras.
Another point that I need to explain is the choice of the specific colors for these chakras.
Once again, there is a general agreement that the energy of the first chakra is red. The sacral
chakra brings in orange energy, while the solar plexus chakra channels the color of yellow. The
heart chakra is seen as green, and the throat chakra's color is blue. The third eye calls in the
indigo energy, and the crown chakra is concerned with the violet frequency. Yet these color
choices are not necessarily unanimous. Elizabeth Clare Prophet is a spiritual teacher (2000) who
believes the crown chakra is gold and the heart chakra is pink. Doreen Virtue (1998) perceives
the throat chakra as sky blue, the third eye chakra as dark blue, and the crown chakra as purple.
Ruth White (1994) senses three possible colors for each chakra. She sees green, rose and
amethyst colors in the heart chakra. She also observes blue, silver and turquoise for the throat
chakra and white, violet and gold for the crown chakra.
This may be plausible if one assumes that each chakra has a predominant energy to meet a
basic function. However, it can also combine distinct energies to fulfill a series of closely
connected needs. For example, the heart chakra might vibrate on the frequency of pink when love
is the foremost need or feeling expressed. But if healing and balance is needed, green could then
be the prominent color. Violet is known in spiritual circles as the color of transmutation, so it
may be present should forgiveness be required. The thing to remember according to Barbara Ann
Brennan is that, the energy from all chakras laces up and down through the vertical power
44
current. Each color is woven together, somewhat like a rope made of beautiful light of all colors
(1993, p. 28). Since all chakras are interconnected and work together, they may combine their
energies to qualify the primary energy of one chakra according to necessity. Beriault (2002)
confirms that while chakras have predominant colors, they can take on different colors depending
on the exact nature of the experience of an individual. According to him, if someone is trying to
seduce another, it is likely that the throat chakra could turn to shades of orange or red. But if
compassionate healing energy is expressed verbally, green could become the dominant color
temporarily mixing in with or replacing the normal blue of that level.
The colors noted for the chakras rest on the perception of various spiritual teachers or
practitioners. So if these individuals have certain filters or biases, these may also impact the
colors they report for each chakra. A physical healer may sense the heart chakra more in tones of
green. A spiritual counselor who emphasizes forgiveness may see or bring out more violet from
the heart. A clairvoyant minister may see the predominant pink of love.
While it is possible to explain the differences in perception, the choice of colors for the
chakras is in accord with the most common and accepted version in literature. They also
correspond to the same colors in the same order that we would see if we break white light in a
rainbow through a prism. This brings additional validation to a correspondence between the
process of manifestation discussed above and observable physical reality. White light contains all
energies and frequencies possible in our visible experience. However, splitting white light in the
colors of the visible spectrum leads to the expression of different aspects of physical reality.
This leads me to assert, as most metaphysicians do, that the one source of spiritual energy
does not express itself as one ideal, but rather as seven ideal patterns. Each chakra is part of our
overall divine design with its specific spiritual energy having a particular role, need, and purpose
45
to fulfill. I have thus selected from the different ideals of various spiritual practitioners which one
seems to represent most clearly and accurately the life lesson of each chakra.
The energy of the first chakra is about anchoring and controlling the physical world.
Cyndi Dale's affirmation I can do it (2006, p. 126) certainly embodies the aim of material
mastery. Yet it misses the need for grounding. Ruth White offers us the following: Through
incarnation may spirit be brought into matter (1994, p. 20). There is one aspect missing for this
chakra. It is the element of connectivity between the physical and the spiritual. This is what
brought me to prefer the following ideal for the root chakra: Wed the material to the spiritual
(Clare Prophet and Spadaro, 2000, p. 19). The second chakra concerns itself with emotions,
creativity, and connection with others. Ruth White's affirmation, May the unity of humanity with
each other and with the earth enable true creativity (1994, p. 40), certainly encloses all aspects of
this chakra. However, I believe that the simpler sacred truth of Caroline Myss to Honor one
another (1996, p. 79) is equally good and more appropriate in light of the third chakra. This
chakra deals with personal power and mental self-control. Thus, Honor one self (Myss, 1996, p.
79) seems to fit the ideal for this level. It also offers a good balance and natural progression from
the ideal of the level below.
The heart chakra focuses on love, healing and balance. Myss' affirmation that Love is
Divine Power (1996, p. 79) and Dale's statement that Love can do anything (2006, p. 126) are
excellent. However, I choose instead Become love in action (Clare Prophet and Spadaro, 2000,
p. 96) because it reflects the ideal of the human embodiment of love. The fifth chakra has the
energies of truth, will, purpose, and communication. This level is about co-creating with God by
expressing our truth and manifesting our purpose. This is why I felt that Clare Prophet and
Spadaro captured this beautifully: Summon inner power to create constructive change (2000, p.
126). The third eye chakra focuses on inner vision, potential, and manifestation. Clare Prophet
46
and Spadaro have the following affirmation for it: Sustain a vision of wholeness for all (2000,
p. 126). In my view, they miss the essential aspect of manifestation. So I prefer the one by Dale
which is: I create my vision of reality (2006, p 129). The ideal for the crown chakra should
reflect its energy of wholeness, alignment, and transcendence. I believe that Create unity out of
diversity (Clare Prophet and Spadaro, 2000, p. 126) offers the perfect directing ideal to align
body, mind, and spirit. It also connects the individual to the universal.
The qualities of the energy brought by each chakra have already been covered above.
They are reviewed briefly here as a collective contribution from referenced practitioners. The
qualities of red energy include strength, vitality, physicality, rootedness, and self-preservation.
The sacral chakra brings in the orange frequency of enthusiasm, creativity, emotionality,
sensuality, sexuality, and connectivity. The yellow chakra focuses on learning, clarity, order,
empowerment, control, assertiveness, and rationality. The heart chakra channels green energy
that is compassionate, loving, forgiving, balancing, healing, and freeing. The blue energy of the
fifth chakra is one of truth, integrity, will, faith, expressivity, and purpose. The forehead chakra
calls in the color indigo for the qualities of intuition, imagination, vision, wisdom, and clarity.
The top of the head chakra calls in the violet spiritual energy of transformation, wholeness,
alignment, transcendence, connectivity, oneness, and serenity.
These energies are available to us to meet matching psychological motivations, emotional
needs and physical desires. Our drive at the first level is for physical safety, stability, and
survival. It supports our basic physiological and material needs. It vitalizes our physical health
and identity and makes us feel grounded in physical reality. At this level, prosperity may take the
form of a stable and secure work situation to create the financial abundance we need to meet all
of life's necessities. It also manifests as good health and strong energy levels. It should equally
transpire in our sense of comfort in the world. I thus consider the overall issue of the first chakra
47
as the need for safety. The degree to which that need is met dictates our basic physical and
financial prosperity.
Our sacral chakra takes care of our emotional, social, sexual, pleasure, and creativity
needs. Physically, this means having fulfilling relationships, being satisfied with our physical
appearance, and being able to express or enjoy creative endeavors. It may include a desire to
travel to connect socially and enjoy the beauties of the world. It can lead to the establishment of a
strong social network. It may mean a harmonious work and home environment. I offer that the
overall prosperity need of that level is enjoyment. Achieving the physical embodiment of joy
allows the experience of emotional abundance.
The energy of the solar plexus aims to fulfill our desire for personal power in the form of
self-confidence, self-respect, and self-worth. It calls also for clarity and rationality. Self-control
and control of our world are a part of that chakra. Physical prosperity can be achieved in the form
of professional success, recognition, and social status. On a personal note, this means being the
captain of one's life. I therefore believe that power is the basic need that supports prosperity at the
mental level.
The heart chakra fulfills our wish for love and intimate relationships. Love can take the
form of compassion, intimacy, caring, or tenderness. Balance, harmony, freedom, and
detachment are accompanying needs at this level. One who has unconditional love for everyone
is able to experience human and divine love for family members, friends, acquaintances and even
perfect strangers. That person can experience freedom and independence in his or her
relationships. Balance between self and others is possible. Meeting our fundamental need for love
allows us to experience prosperity in the dimension of loving relationships.
The needs at the throat chakra center on the expression of our personal truth and the
fulfillment of our purpose in life. These include also being heard and counted. Physical prosperity
48
can come at this level in the form of creative gifts put to good use and by following one's life
mission in service to a higher cause. Communicating our deepest truth paves the way for great
prosperity. I offer that expression is the need of that level.
At the sixth level of our third eye, our desires are for clear inner vision, inspiration, long
range planning, fulfillment of our potential, and manifestation of our desires. Physical prosperity
comes to us when we learn to master the process of creating our own reality. Imagining our long
term success and tapping our potential allows us to create our dream life. I believe selfactualization is the key word describing this level of need.
The seventh level addresses our need for transformation, alignment, integration,
transcendence, connectivity, and higher truth. At that level, we may learn to rely on abundance to
manifest as needed to support our needs and desires. Our experience of prosperity may also come
in the form of what Maslow (1987) calls a peak experience. Or it may lead to self-acceptance,
selflessness, serenity, inner balance, and expanded awareness. All aspects of that level converge
on the driving need for wholeness.
All of the above is outlined in details in Appendix A. The complete name of this table is
The Seven Dimensions of Prosperity Reference Table. It constitutes the second part of the test.

Intake Assessment Test for Prosperity Coaching
The first part of the test is the actual intake assessment test. Its purpose is to determine
how strongly a person's prosperity needs are gratified or frustrated in the seven different
dimensions of his or her being. The test begins with an instruction page on how to complete it.
The second part is the questionnaire itself. The third part is the scoring and interpretative section.
The last part is to chart your results and compare them against common scoring patterns.
In the testing section, there are a total of 70 statements. This translates into 10 statements
for each level of need. The individual is asked to agree or disagree with each affirmation using a
scale of 0 to 5. The person then adds scores for each level for a total ranging from 0 to 50 points
and graphs the seven scores on a horizontal bar chart. The need for safety is at the base of the
chart and each following higher motivation tops its predecessor.
The general interpretative principles included describe the seven drives of people, and
how they should normally be fulfilled in ascending order. I discuss how higher needs should not
normally develop until lower ones are fulfilled sufficiently. I indicate how prosperity for each
level of human experience should be proportional to the satisfaction of his or her needs. I provide
some potential results to assist the individual further assess the overall satisfaction or deprivation
of the seven needs.
The format for this test resembles Cyndi Dale's own prosperity questionnaire in her book
Attracting Prosperity Through the Chakras. Dale (2004) proposes a theory similar in many
ways to this study for the manifestation of abundance. First, she asserts that all is energy and that
abundance will manifest in proportion of the alignment of our thoughts with our spiritual desires.
The closer the match is between them, the greater our success. She states that we are made up of
an energy system that accesses spiritual energies and focuses them on specific goals. Dale (2004)
50
sees our chakras as individualized doorways for different energies to fulfill specific spiritual,
psychological, emotional, and physical purposes. Our energy bodies and chakras work together to
keep us safe and enable us to express ourselves in all we do. Thus, by managing our energy, they
allow us to materialize our spiritual purpose and prosperity. According to her, our best way to
succeed and manifest abundance is to tap our strongest chakras.
Accordingly, she names the test she created "Your Strongest Chakras." The test consists
of 66 statements that divide themselves in 11 categories associated with the 11 chakras she
perceives. Scoring the relative strengths of the various chakras allows us to assess our personal
and spiritual natures. Dale (2004) believes that identifying how to manifest our spiritual purpose
on this world is the way to financial prosperity.
The test built here is similar to Dale's test (2004) in several regards. The principle of
manifesting abundance using spiritual energy channeled through the various chakras is the same.
Chakras also have specific psychological tasks and functions to fulfill with the energies they
bring in. There is mention that manifestation occurs with the alignment of our thoughts with a
spiritual purpose. Finally, different chakras favor the manifestation of abundance in different
ways. The format of my test is also similar to hers. Both questionnaires offer a number of
interrogations to which individuals can agree or disagree with on a scale of 0 to 5. They must add
the scores and break them in categories according to chakras. Then they are able to tabulate the
scores on a chakra personality table and order them in a particular sequence. The reference
material included in her book on the qualities and roles of the first seven chakras generally
matches the information in the reference table for this study.
Here are the differences between the two tests in terms of philosophy, purpose, and
methodology. The first major difference is in regards to the principle of manifestation. For Dale,
(2004) our way to prosperity is through the use of our strongest chakras to manifest our spiritual
51
purpose. It is those chakras that contain the gifts and energies necessary to fulfill our destiny and
create our abundance. While it may be good to heal our weakest chakras, these are not necessary
to our unfolding. The perspective I have taken here is different.
In accord with Maslow's (1987) theory, a person who is healthy is one who has gratified
all the basic needs and is then motivated by self-actualization needs. For Ruth White, it cannot
be stressed enough that the chakra system is interconnective and interdependent (1993, p. 65).
Davies concurs, since all chakras are intimately linked, a block at one will affect the functioning
of the others, causing physical, emotional and/or spiritual distress.Even though each operates
individually, the connection between them is essential for optimum efficiency (2000, p. 54).
Thus, the test works on the assumption that a natural progression occurs in meeting our needs. A
block at one level not only impacts that chakra, but also other chakras. It can therefore limit the
satisfaction of several needs and their accompanying prosperity.
As far as the format is concerned, the test asks 66 questions divided in 11 categories
because it asks six questions per chakra. Cyndi Dale (2004) works on the assumption of 11
chakras offering 11 ways of manifesting one's purpose and abundance. The test developed here
works on the hypothesis of seven chakras associated with the prosperity that comes from the
satisfaction of seven human needs. Her chakra scoring table records the strongest chakras in
descending order of strength. The table in the present test records the strength of satisfaction for
each need in the ascending order of the chakras.
Another significant difference is that Dale's test uses only positive statements. When I
tried this approach with a couple of subjects I knew personally, a clear bias appeared. When only
positive affirmations were used, a strong overoptimistic tendency appeared. Some known blocks
and issues for these individuals were minimized or simply ignored. This is why I chose to have
five positive statements and five negative statements for each level. When these subjects retook
52
the test, the known difficulties became apparent. These people confirmed this was a much more
realistic representation of their personal situation.
So for instance at the first level, five positive assertions identify the level of gratification
regarding the safety, sustenance, physical health, grounding, and sensory needs. Then five
negative statements assess the potential for blocks or dissatisfaction at that level. This goes on for
each level all the way up to the seventh level needs. The questions are in random order to
minimize the bias of knowing that a sequential group of interrogations may be referring to a
certain dimension of need. So I mixed the statements assessing the potential for a block at one
level or another with the positive declarations. I also reversed the scale to capture the inverse
proportion of the satisfaction of the need assessed for negative statements. The scale displayed
for such questions is from 5 to 0 from left to right, instead of going from 0 to 5. The scale of
agreement remains the same from complete disagreement on the left of the scale to total
agreement on the right side of the scale.
This completes the description of the purpose and construction of the first part of the test.
I called it The Seven Dimensions of Prosperity Intake Assessment Test for Prosperity Coaching.
You will find a copy of the initial version offered to the sample population of 34 subjects under
Appendix B.

Validation Procedure
To validate this test, I developed a short Intake Assessment Test Evaluation Questionnaire
to qualitatively evaluate its general effectiveness and accuracy. The questionnaire starts by
collecting general statistics about the client. It requests the gender, the age group, and the
occupation of the person. It then collects the scores for each of the seven levels of needs. It asks if
the instructions were clear and complete. It checks whether the number of statements was
adequate, insufficient, or too high. It then calls for feedback on the questions themselves. It
verifies if the individual found any statements unclear or ambiguous and why that was so. It asks
confirmation whether these results seemed to properly represent the individual's perception of his
or her current prosperity situation. It inquires whether the test results provided any other benefits.
The next question checks if he or she would recommend this test to other people. The final point
is an offer for a free coaching session to discuss more in depth the individual's results.
This one page questionnaire was attached at the end of the test to ask subjects for their
input regarding the validity and usefulness of this intake tool. It is not normally part of the test.
The one question that will remain part of the test is the offer for a free coaching session to
evaluate results with a potential client. To see an example of the Intake Assessment Test
Evaluation Questionnaire, please refer to Appendix C.

Sample Test Subjects

I offered this intake assessment test to 50 individuals for their validation. I sent the test
through e-mail or administered it face to face. I only told the subjects this was a prosperity test. I
did not give them any information on the theoretical background of the test so I would not bias
their responses. For the 11 tests that I gave in person, I was able to assess that individuals took up
to 40 minutes to answer all questions, tally and chart their scores, interpret their results, and
evaluate the test. Several people who received their test through e-mail desisted from following
through with it citing lack of time. A total of 34 people completed and returned the test to me.
The answers to questions one, two, and three of my evaluation questionnaire provided the
basic composition of this sample population. This group was composed of 8 men and 26 women.
Since I asked people at my coaching school for their participation, 18 out of the 34 who took the
test were coaches and student coaches. Otherwise the subjects` occupations were varied and
random. Four individuals were family members and close friends whom I knew previously. Six
subjects from this sample became my coaching clients. The age groups included 5 individuals in
their thirties, 15 people in their forties and 14 in their fifties. I collected an additional unplanned
statistic on the language spoken by respondents. There were 16 French subjects who took the test
and 18 who were English.
As we will see in the following section, the size of the sample of test subjects seemed
sufficient to bring up some significant trends and confirmations. Please refer to the Table of
Subjects' Intake Assessment Test Results and Evaluation Questionnaire Answers in Appendix D
for all individual statistics.

55
Test Results and Interpretation
The following test results and answers come from the Table of Subjects' Intake
Assessment Test Results and Evaluation Questionnaire Answers in Appendix D. The test results
gathered in question four of the evaluation questionnaire provided much valuable data. The
average score for the 34 respondents was 30.6 for the safety needs, 33.5 for pleasure, 33.8 for the
third level of power, 37.2 for the love needs, 37.6 for the need of expression, 33.7 for selfactualization and 35.6 for the desire for wholeness. The overall average score for all seven needs
and all subjects was 34.6. The maximum possible for any of these needs is 50 points. Please refer
to Figure 3 for the Average Scores by Dimension for the Sample Population.
This leads me to make some interesting observations. First of all, there are three levels
that seem to deviate somewhat from the other four levels. These are the dimensions of love,
expression and safety. The first two are higher than the average. While the population sample
includes 24 coaches, consultants, teachers, writers and therapists, the scores of this subgroup
seems to have an equally uplifting impact on all levels. So I know of no obvious reason that
would explain the two higher scores of dimensions four and five. At 30.6, the average score for
the safety level is three to seven points lower than any other level. This may indicate that most
individuals, even those who are successfully fulfilling their other needs, still have issues with
their safety level. Given that this is a prosperity test, it is also reasonable to assume that these
safety issues relate to financial dissatisfactions of some kind.
The most surprising point that clearly appeared is that the average scores for all levels are
in the thirties. Maslow (1987) feels that a realistic description of the satisfaction of one's needs
would be through decreasing percentages as we go up the hierarchy of needs. He offers an
example where basic needs may be met in ascending proportions of 85%, 70%, 50% and 40%

leading to 10% fulfillment of higher needs. Yet these results do not seem to support such a
scenario. While obvious individual deviations and patterns are present, there is a general
tendency towards a leveling of scores throughout the seven levels of needs. This does not
necessarily contradict Maslow (1987), since he admitted that the hierarchy of needs is not
necessarily fixed and rigid. Higher needs may emerge before or in spite of unfulfilled lower
needs for a host of reasons. However, it is not the predicted pattern that I expected.
Here are some potential reasons to explain these results. The first thing to consider is that
the members of this sample group value personal growth and volunteered to take the test. This
may be why many of them had equally strong scores for their lower and higher needs. They may
be quite advanced in their personal self-actualization. For instance, five people showed uniformly
high scores of 40 or more for all dimensions of needs. Another five subjects had overall average
scores in their forties with one or more scores in the high thirties. All of them confirmed that their
physical experience of prosperity was very satisfying at all those levels. Still, people at lower
levels of satisfaction also exhibited a leveling effect between the seven dimensions of needs.
Another possibility is the impact of the age range of this sample group. Since these
individuals are all in their thirties, forties or fifties, perhaps the pyramidal satisfaction of needs is
a developmental phase that has already been achieved at that point in their life. It would be
interesting to offer the test to a younger population sample in their teens and twenties.
Unfortunately, the test sample did not include people in those age groups. It would have been
interesting to see if the pyramidal pattern that Maslow proposes as normal would have appeared.
In summary, the age range limitations and the personal growth bias of this population
sample may have missed or obscured a pyramidal pattern. This is why I believe that the results
gathered in this sample neither prove nor disprove Maslow's assertion that our needs are normally
fulfilled in an ascending order in the context of this hypothesis. It would still seem natural and
58
logical that we would take care of our safety needs before we start enjoying our lives. And it
would appear reasonable to believe that we would work on our ability to meet basic social needs
before we can aspire to fulfill our desire for intimate relationships. So while the scenario of an
ascending order to the fulfillment of needs in this particular framework is possible, it also
remains to be proven.
The results more clearly contradicted the expected limitation that higher needs cannot
emerge unless lower needs are satisfactorily. Most subjects were able to significantly gratify their
higher needs despite the avowed insufficient satisfaction for certain basic needs. I can make two
observations from the above. First, satisfactorily meeting a higher need does not substitute for the
necessity to fulfill our lower ones as well. Secondly, no one can be fully functional, healthy, and
prosperous if one has not met one's seven needs to a sufficient degree.
As confirmation, I refer you to the common experience of the six test subjects whom I am
coaching regarding prosperity. These are Subjects 14, 15, 16, 24, 26, and 31. All of them display
scores in the thirties and/or forties with one or more scores in the low twenties or teens that seem
to hold them back. Those individuals who show some unsatisfied lower needs confirm that they
are strongly inclined towards self-actualization. Yet they are often unable to manifest physical
prosperity due to a sense of lack of safety, self-esteem, or self-love. Subject 14 describes herself
as full of spiritual talents and abilities, but feeling insecure at the physical level. She tells how
numerous past attempts to move forward with the realization of her dreams have been derailed,
blocked, or sabotaged. Other clients express the same common frustration that one or more unmet
lower needs are stopping them from achieving overall success and prosperity in their lives. So it
appears difficult to live fully if some of the basic needs are not sufficiently satisfied. This also
points out the necessity of identifying and remedying such frustrated drives.
59
Since the ascending pyramidal pattern of fulfillment is not present, I looked for other
patterns. The most common one I found was the one showing more or less leveled results for the
seven dimensions. Ten subjects exhibited this balanced distribution at lower or higher levels of
satisfaction. A second common pattern was the one with low safety scores. Six participants
confirmed that despite some well gratified higher needs, their insecurities remained a determining
factor in their ability to manifest financial abundance. In a third pattern, one level of need peaked
significantly over other needs. Five subjects followed this distribution of results. Finally, 13
respondents exhibited a series of high and low scores without any apparent pattern. You may
study these patterns in Figures 4 to 7. Refer again to Appendix D for the data.
Looking at the distribution of subjects' average total scores, we see in Figure 8 that one
individual's overall score was in the 15-20 range. Two people scored between 20 and 25. Seven
test subjects average satisfaction levels were in the 25-30 window. Eleven respondents found
their total between 30 and 35. Three more were between 35 and 40. Five were in the low 40's,
and five were in the high 40's. So perhaps the high distribution of scores in the low 30's could
indicate an average operating level. This seems to be the most common range for average people
who can function in daily life even though they may be hampered by unsatisfied needs.
Accordingly, one may assume that people operating below this level would have several
needs frustrated and experience a certain lack of abundance. In the reverse, most people in the
higher brackets of scores would be closer to the satisfaction of all their needs. As long as they do
not exhibit a significant weakness, they should be more capable of manifesting the prosperity
they desire. There is one factor to keep in mind when looking at this table. The high scores of the
coaching subgroup may have skewed the distribution curve. A larger sample of an average
population could show a different distribution pattern, especially in the higher ranges of scores.

Respondents also provided great feedback regarding the methodology and the format of
the test itself. Please refer to Appendix C for the exact questions posed and to appendix D for
subjects' individual answers. In response to question five of the evaluation questionnaire, 79% of
people believed the test instructions to be clear and complete. The biggest complaint was the
inversion of the scale of 0 to 5 for statements that measure a lack of satisfaction at one level or
another. This confused some subjects. They would have preferred a constant direction for the
scale. As I previously mentioned, I inserted negative statements randomly among the positive
ones to minimize any bias. Grouping positive and negative statements under subheadings to
reduce the confusion could create a momentum that inappropriately inflates or deflates scores.
Some subjects may also miss a reversal of scale under a separate section for negative statements,
and this would create a different kind of problem.
Several subjects requested to have more details on each of the dimensions of prosperity.
So I added information in the interpretation section of the test. Respondents also commented that
the charts were not clear, and the examples were not applicable to them. Therefore, I offered
actual patterns exhibited by the subjects to have more relevant examples.
In response to question six, 82% of participants who answered the test found the number
of questions in the test to be just right. Seven individuals felt the number was too high, and none
indicated the need for more than the 70 questions presently included in the test.
In answer to question seven, several test subjects did find some of the questions confusing
or unanswerable. A few statements in the test were split in two parts such as: "I have everything
in life, yet still feel unfulfilled." Individuals who wanted to answer negatively for the first part
and positively for the second part found it difficult to score the question accurately. Another
statement that fell into this category is the following affirmation: "I am very social and an
extrovert and I have many friends." As a participant correctly pointed out, one does not have to
66
be an extrovert to have many friends. So I have reworded or replaced the two part questions that
could evoke conflicting responses in the finalized version of the test. This does not apply to all
two pronged questions. Here is one that did not cause any problems to subjects because its two
segments are properly aligned: "I feel my potential is bottled up and my opportunities limited."
Another one is: "I am often sick or tired, and I have little energy." The two parts of these
questions complemented each other well, and no one expressed confusion about them.
A different kind of statement posed another problem. One such statement was: "Work is
my biggest priority in life. It takes precedence over everything else." A similar one was: "My
work is my way of making a difference in the world." These attempted to measure how strongly a
certain level was satisfied. The problem was that such an evaluation was exclusive. It did not
allow for an individual to have work that was fulfilling and also achieve a higher order of need. It
also excluded any one who did not work for a living. I thus replaced these two affirmations by
the following: "I am confident about my ability to succeed in my personal and professional life."
This wording should allow an individual to evaluate the sense of power for all aspects of his or
her life, without excluding the satisfaction of higher level needs.
The next question tried to assess the ability of the test to reflect the respondents` personal
prosperity situation. The answers to question eight were fully or tentatively positive in the
proportion of 86%. Thus, the test seems to be generally able to correctly capture both the
satisfaction and the frustration of each level of need for individuals. Question nine addressed the
potential benefits of this test. Seven individuals did not answer in the positive. Either they did not
respond to the question, did so in the negative, or required more information before deciding.
Favorable responses amounted to 79% of the test subjects. For the 27 people concerned,
the main benefit was a general increase in awareness. Several of them indicated a useful
confirmation and reminder of a situation they were already cognizant about to some extent.
67
Others acknowledged the need for further reflection towards unconscious limiting beliefs or
behaviors they were holding at one level or another. A few respondents indicated a value in the
ability to visualize for the first time the magnitude and impact of the frustration of their needs.
Some saw a value in reframing prosperity in a spiritual and motivational perspective.
Given these above results, 22 subjects were willing to refer this test to others
unconditionally. A further seven individuals also answered positively on the condition that more
interpretative information be given, that the tool not be used as a stand alone, or that it be made
shorter. These two subgroups add up to 85% of the 34 people tested. Only five people answered
in the negative or did not answer.
A smaller proportion of 56% answered positively to the offer for free coaching and
interpretation. Subjects turned down the offer for three main reasons. Some clearly did not need
coaching since they were doing very well on their own in all aspects of their lives. A few felt that
they had gained all the value and understanding they needed from the test. They did not need
further assistance to resolve any uncovered issues. Other people were already being coached on a
different aspect of their lives and did not want to focus on this topic at this time.
Two more parameters need our attention: gender and language. There were 26 subjects
who were female, and 8 who were male. While the issue of gender did not seem to invalidate the
test, it certainly impacted the actual scores. The overall average score of the seven levels for men
was 37.1 versus 33.8 for women. Whether men are better at meeting their needs than women is
an issue that is beyond the scope of this paper. However, the results underline a significant spread
between the two genders.
There was an almost equal split of 18 English speaking individuals and 16 French
speaking subjects. A review of the average scores shows that there is a positive variance of 2.2 in
favor of English speaking people. Given the relatively small size of the sample population,
68
nothing can be affirmed conclusively. However, neither of these two factors seems to contradict
the overall direction of the results or the percentages of positive and negative answers. For more
raw data, please consult the Table of Subjects' Intake Assessment Test Results and Evaluation
Questionnaire Answers in Appendix D.

Test Limitations
I have shown above that a favorable majority of subjects found the Intake Assessment
Test to be accurate and beneficial. I also believe that I can correct to a large extent the
weaknesses identified by the subjects. Yet subjects' responses and results underlined some
inherent limitations of this test. Refer to Appendix D for all results.
The biggest one of these is that the test provides only a picture in time of an individual's
situation. The results for Subject 9 seemed to indicate that her safety scores were not in line with
her other scores. She accepted my offer for a 30 minutes free coaching session to further interpret
her results. As it turned out, she was in the middle of a career transition. She had just left her very
well paid position as director of funding for theatre to coach people who want to start up their
own art business. The move from a secure well compensated career to developing a professional
practice created some normal anxieties. She was aware of it and was managing her transition in a
very capable way, if not perfect manner. So it would have been erroneous to conclude that this
client had some fundamental problems with safety based on her lower safety scores at that time.
Maslow (1987) confirms that a threat to our social situation can make us regress very quickly to
our safety needs. This does not imply that there is an abnormal deficient condition that needs to
be corrected. This test would be more appropriate after her practice is established, or if
establishing that practice seems to take an inordinate amount of time and effort. So the current
situation of the client must be reviewed carefully to assess if the use of the test is timely and
justified.
An additional difficulty that surfaced when taking this test is the immediate emotional and
mental condition of the client. Subject 26 chose to complete the test in three separate occasions
over a one week time frame. On two of those occasions the test results were average and
consistent with one another. They averaged 22, 30, 21, 27, 36, 26, and 38 from the low level
70
needs to the higher ones. She did exhibit definite but manageable weaknesses at the safety and
power levels. However on the third occasion, she scored very low on all levels. Her scores from
the safety level to the wholeness dimension were 0, 9, 7, 5, 22, 14, and 8. She did admit that she
was depressed that day because of personal issues. So we could consider these third test results to
be invalid given their inconsistencies with the other two sets of scores. Or these low scores may
point to psychological issues that are beyond the scope and ability of this test to define. Either
way, a coach would have to evaluate if the psychological predisposition of the client is stable
enough to benefit from this test and the coaching process.
One more constraint that became evident is people's lack of awareness regarding the
relation between the satisfaction of their needs and their experience of abundance. This may
appear reasonable given that it is the connection that this study is attempting to confirm.
However, people who indicated issues at the enjoyment or love levels did not seem to recognize
that the frustration of such needs could impact their level of wealth. They simply dismissed the
connection until it was explicitly brought to their attention. Clients only associated prosperity
issues either with their safety or power needs because these motivations are more obvious. The
first usually corresponds to people's ability to meet their basic needs. The second relates to their
ability to achieve professional success. So people who do not have needs perceived to be directly
related to financial prosperity might require more coaching support to benefit from the test.
A similar pattern emerged for several subjects who scored well at higher spiritual level
needs, yet still experienced difficulty at the safety level. These individuals were often surprised
that their safety needs scores were so low. They expressed having some degree of difficulty in
manifesting wealth in their lives even though a few of these were successful professional
coaches. One of them had all his scores in the mid-forties while his safety needs came at 37.
While this score is very respectable, this coach could not help but notice the discrepancy. It
71
seems that some individuals, who are quite self-actualized, still have issues translating their
spiritual talents into physical abundance. More than a few still attach a negative connotation to
wedding the spiritual to the physical. Thus, more awareness work may be needed to educate
people on the above ideal, before the test can offer its full intended benefits.
Another restriction of this intake test is that its 70 questions cannot possibly cover all
potential blocks and issues that people may experience at each of the seven levels of needs. For
instance, I chose questions at the expression level that explore blocks stopping us from
expressing ourselves and/or listening to others. However, I did not have room to address the issue
of people who accept other people's truth at the expense of their own. No test can be totally
inclusive of all human blocks or limitations. The 10 questions per level attempt to capture the
most important issues of each need. Yet if some are missed, as surely is the case, then the results
may be biased. I tried to reduce this possibility by having two part statements to cover as much
ground as I could. This led to respondents experiencing confusion and contradiction whenever
the two parts were not properly aligned. So this test will only claim to discern some of the most
obvious and common problems that people may experience in having their needs met.
One more area of concern is individuals' lower and higher developmental limitations. We
would have to be careful of our diagnostic if we administer the test to young adults in their early
twenties who are working very hard to establish themselves in the world. It would be normal that
individuals who have just entered into new careers and family lives have some issues with
financial prosperity. Perhaps the test would show the pyramidal pattern that Maslow has
predicted. Perhaps it would not. When offering coaching support, we would have to carefully
explain to clients whether they are facing normal developmental issues or abnormal deficiency
problems. Certainly, no one is usually expected to be fully actualized at the beginning of adult
life. On the other end of the scale, a couple of subjects who reached a high degree of self-
72
actualization did not feel the test was useful for them. Indeed, it had little to offer them except the
confirmation that they have no significant need issues. So the coach must also take into account
the developmental stage of an individual before deciding if the test will be useful to that client.
Another limit of the test is that it gives us only a subjective evaluation of people's ability
to prosper. Thus, the test cannot directly measure the connection between the fulfillment of one's
needs and the level of prosperity achieved. The individual would have to take the test twice. He
could then compare pre-coaching and post-coaching test results. The results from the first test
would act as a baseline. After applying the insights gained from the test over a period of weeks,
months or years, a person could take the test once more. If the scores from the second testing are
significantly higher, and the client's financial situation has improved, then there may be cautious
cause to confirm a cause and effect relationship. To prove this correlation beyond reasonable
doubt would require further testing on a greater test population. A coach should make clear to
clients using this tool that it cannot directly or objectively measure or guarantee their ability to
increase their abundance.
One final limitation inherent to the construction of the tool is that it is purely a diagnostic
test that captures an individual's situation at one point in time. As a standalone instrument, this
tool gives people greater awareness about their blocks and issues. But it does not necessarily
support them in their desire to change. It does not motivate them to act on their newfound
understanding. It does not tell them how to resolve their issues. This is why I developed the
reference table and offer this test as an intake tool to enter into a coaching relationship. This test
alone is not sufficient for a person to release blocks and manifest more prosperity without some
form of additional support.

Coaching is comparably a new profession. It blends the best concepts from business,
psychology, philosophy, sports, and spirituality. Although coaching combines skills from other
disciplines, it is a distinct process of supporting others to create an ideal life (International Coach
Academy, 2002, p.1). Coaching is a dialogue between a coach and a client to identify and achieve
their goals while also respecting their values. Simply put, coaching empowers functional
individuals to become exceptional.
While associating my prosperity test with coaching is not the only option, it is a strong
match. The coaching process is inherently supportive of the natural creative process encapsulated
in Cayce's (254-4) approach that "Spirit is the Life, mind is the builder and the physical is the
result." Coaching is an approach that is value aligned, creatively driven, and result oriented. It
draws on the client's ideals and resources to set goals and plan how to manifest the desired
results. Hence, this prosperity test may be well suited to assist an individual in a context of
prosperity coaching, career coaching, life coaching, or even spiritual coaching.
The potential for varied applications rests on the presupposition that most people see
abundance as the means to an end. So their motivation to take the test will be to fill a particular
need that presently escapes their grasp. Either they want more of something, or they want
something different and better. They are usually willing to make changes in their attitudes and
their behaviors to obtain what they seek. Unfortunately, they are often unaware of where they are
holding themselves back. They do not know how to move forward from their present situation to
gratify the needs that drive them and manifest the wealth they seek. So the prosperity test is a
great diagnostic tool that can make clients conscious of their self-imposed limitations in many
areas of life. Yet it cannot by itself bring them to achieve their dreams.
74
This is because the questionnaire part of the test comes only with general interpretative
principles and a brief description of the meaning of the seven dimensions of prosperity. Those
subjects who indicated the need for more information came to me to make sense of their results.
That is when I used the reference table to assist and inform them further in a coaching setting.
However, this table cannot be directly made available to clients for several reasons. First, it
requires too much theoretical background for a client to use alone. Secondly, it is likely too much
information for a client who simply wishes to understand his or her personal situation. Thirdly,
not everyone is open to the spiritual and psychological backgrounds that support this assessment
test. A coach would have to gauge his or her client's awareness and draw from the reference table
only that material which the client is able to accept and use.
So far I have discussed how the prosperity test may be a good intake tool to enter in a
coaching process. I also reviewed how a coach can assist an individual with the insights gained
from the test. So the point I will now address is to examine if other avenues of association are
possible and preferable. Since spirituality is at the root of this approach to prosperity, it is
possible that prosperity counselors could use this information to inspire a person. There are many
spiritually trained individuals such as Dr. Joseph Murphy who have an excellent grasp of the
creativity principles. There are two significant limitations that may be present for such assistance
to be fully effective.
First of all, not all of these individuals would either know about or accept the reality of
chakras which is a key factor to this approach. Secondly, these practitioners often adopt an overly
optimistic attitude that does not fully take into account the human nature of humans. They do not
always recognize and take into account the psychological defense mechanisms that can sabotage
the idealistic process of manifestation. I refer you to my first attempt at creating a test with a
purely positive approach. While the results obtained through this test version seemed very
75
favorable, they did not truly represent the subjects` experienced reality. Nor did they support the
clients' efforts to successfully meet their needs.
A second possibility would be for healers, shamans, or clairvoyants to accompany
individuals in a healing process based on the test results. Certainly, these people would accept the
reality of chakras and be empowered to guide clients in their journey of self-discovery and
healing. Most of these metaphysicians would also understand the psychological and emotional
impact of energetic blocks and wounds. Competent healers could point out the link between
blocks and the various dimensions of spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical disease. They
should also be able to remove these blocks and heal the wounds. Yet few have an equally good
understanding of the manifestation process in terms of physical abundance. So they would be less
likely to assist individuals capitalize on their increased awareness and vitality to meet specific
goals or needs and manifest the associated prosperity.
A third avenue of support would be from psychologists. Most of these professionals
would have a clear understanding of the psychological and behavioral blocks and dysfunctions of
clients showing them their test results. Psychologists and psychotherapists using a transpersonal
perspective would even acknowledge the body, mind, and spirit connection. So a therapist could
use the test to assist clients release blocks at the spiritual, psychological, and emotional levels.
Three obstacles are possible in such an approach. First of all, psychology promotes
growth by focusing mostly on the past and present. So a psychologist would not normally be able
to help someone capitalize on such personal gains to move forward from there. A second issue is
that the main purpose of psychologists is to do therapy. So they work with dysfunctional people
to enable them to function normally once again within society. Those taking this test have for
goal to overcome certain limits and achieve more of their potential. Their desire is not to fit in,
but instead to grow past their comfort zone. The therapeutic process in its standard form also
76
limits its domain of expertise within the psyche of the individual. It does not concern itself
directly with the physical aspect of an individual's life. Manifesting dreams, determining values
or ideals, and establishing goals and action plans are not part of its field of expertise.
This should not be construed to imply that the above avenues or their practitioners are
incapable of helping people wanting to increase their levels of personal wealth and gratification.
The problem is simply that the specialization of these fields of expertise creates some
accompanying limitations that may not normally support clients' efforts to increase their
prosperity level. It is the general nature and lack of specialization of the coaching approach that
makes it so well suited to such a quest for fulfillment. Because it draws on so many different
fields of expertise, yet is bound by none, it is sufficiently flexible and adaptable to support a
person in the manifestation of almost any dream. While a coach need not be a specialist in any
such areas, he or she must be open minded and sufficiently aware to support the client.
Conversely, this strength of the coaching process can also be a weakness in some
instances. I mentioned earlier an individual who had taken the test three times with quite different
end results. I believe that if her lowest results were truly valid, this person may be beyond the
assistance of this test and the coaching process. The coaching process` greatest limitation is that it
cannot on its own effectively assist people who are dysfunctional. Maslow's (1987) theory
indicates that individuals are not fully healthy if they have not met all of their needs. This does
not imply that such people are dysfunctional in the psychological sense of the word. The test
results show that people are able to adapt and function more or less effectively even with one or
more needs unmet. However, a coach should recognize if a person's results show extreme levels
of dissatisfaction, insecurity, and inability to function normally. The coach would be wise to
direct this person to a mental or spiritual health professional more capable of assisting such an
individual.
77
In other cases, the normal use of this tool in a coaching process would proceed as follows.
A coach would ask what this new client's goals are, and assess the particular situation of that
person. The coach would ask the client to take the test and score it. The two of them would
review the results together. They would initially look to discern any pattern in the satisfaction of
the seven levels of needs and determine the overall level of need gratification. The second step
would be to identify obvious unfulfilled needs that stand out.
The next step for the coach would be to examine if any pattern of agreement or
disagreement is apparent in the scoring of the 70 questions. For example, the scoring for test
Subject 9 consisted almost exclusively of scores like 0, 1, 4, or 5. Upon discussion, the individual
confirmed that she lacked balance and experienced significant mood swings towards most issues
of her life. Subject 29 showed the opposite in that his scores were all in the middle range with 2,
3, and 4 scores. This person indicated that he had achieved balance in his life, yet at the cost of
conformity and boredom. His scores were in the low thirties. His current desire was to manifest
his full potential. Finally, the coach would look at the answers for individual questions to identify
specific issues and trails of inquiry that the coaching process could pursue.
The coach would then use the reference table to present the theoretical background of the
test in general terms. He or she would explain how people's ability to prosper is intimately linked
to their ability to meet their inner personal needs. The coach would show how blocks may
interfere with the manifestation of one's desires. He or she could then compare the client's goals,
beliefs, behaviors, needs, and values with the reference table to see where there is alignment and
where there is none. This way, the coach could assist the person identify the negative emotions,
the limiting beliefs, and the damaging behaviors that block the realization of his or her goals. The
coach could support the coachee to develop an action plan to effect the necessary changes. For
instance, the coach may assess that a client suffers from feelings and core beliefs of personal
78
disempowerment. Together they could look at practical ways to regain his power and allow the
flow of prosperity to finally manifest in his life. Perhaps someone else has money in her life, but
is still dissatisfied. The coach may then suggest that the client redefines her ideal of prosperity at
a higher level of consciousness. So if that client equates prosperity with self-love, she may
increase her levels of fulfillment by evolving her definition to one that reflects service to other
people or to a higher cause.
Hopefully, the above description will not give anyone the impression that this is an easy,
simple, and straightforward process. Even when supported by such a tool and process, changing
or releasing limiting beliefs requires significant internal efforts to manifest a desired external
result. The coach will also have to make it clear to the coachee that he or she is fully responsible
for the results achieved or lack thereof. The perspective to always keep in mind is that despite all
its validity and potential, this test is but another tool to support a person's desire for increased
growth, fulfillment, and prosperity.

Conclusions
In this paper I propose that there is a connection between our experience of prosperity and
the satisfaction of our needs. More specifically, I theorize that the Source of our abundance lies
within the spiritual realm. I suggest that the energy of life splits itself into seven conscious and
specific color energies that feed and fulfill a human being's seven fundamental needs in an
ascending order. I advance that the fulfillment of such needs is the reason why we seek prosperity
and why we experience it. I finally point out the necessity for our beliefs and behaviors to be in
alignment with ideals that allow for this energy to flow. Otherwise, we may experience personal
emotional, mental, and energetic blocks that can limit the gratification of our needs and our
ability to manifest prosperity.
To prove or disprove this hypothesis, I constructed a test of 70 questions to evaluate
individuals` fulfillment of these seven needs versus their experience of prosperity. Over 85% of
the total group tested perceived their test results to accurately represent their current prosperity
situation. Their answers seem to corroborate the concept that our experience of abundance relates
directly to the satisfaction of our needs or inversely relates to the frustration of same needs. This
high level of agreement also supports the possibility of a connection between the seven chakras
and the needs they fill. Moreover, almost 80% of subjects who took the test confirmed an
increased awareness and clarity about their current limitations. They seemed to recognize how
certain beliefs and behaviors did hamper their ability to manifest wealth. Half a dozen of them
requested coaching to address these difficulties; another dozen expressed their desire for more
information in the form of a free trial coaching session.
One part of this hypothesis did not play out as anticipated. Test results did not form in an
ascending pyramid of satisfaction from the lower to the higher needs. Maslow's (1987) example
80
of a decreasing percentage of satisfaction as individuals climb in their hierarchy of needs did not
seem to materialize. Despite the personal weaknesses and strength of each subject, there seemed
to be an overall tendency towards a leveling effect to achieve a more or less successful balance of
the seven levels of needs.
Shaman Marc Beriault (2002) believes that the chakras all connect together in a network
of transmission of energy and information. This ensures that the whole body acts in accordance
with the dominant information of the energy system. So if blocks occur, they may negatively
impact the other chakras and the satisfaction of the corresponding needs.
However, there is a reverse side to this. If a normal pathway used to exchange energy
between chakras is blocked, the energy can bypass its usual channel to take a different pathway to
reach its destination. While this may not allow for optimal functionality, it at least creates a stable
coping condition at a lower level of functioning. What we may surmise here is that this energetic
flexibility and adaptability may also be present at the psychological level. If a need is not fulfilled
sufficiently, it may be suppressed, sublimated, and bypassed. While this may not lead to an
optimum satisfaction of all levels of needs, it will allow an individual to cope in normal daily life.
This explanation, which attempts to justify the leveling effect observed versus the
pyramid effect expected, remains highly speculative. But if the test results do not support
Maslow's (1987) position for an ascending fulfillment of needs, they do not disallow it either.
Until and unless more information is available to disprove this aspect of Maslow's hierarchical
approach, I will keep it as a guiding principle for this test. When I offer the test again, I will
attempt to include younger individuals who may be at lower developmental stages. I will also
ensure the target sample is not so biased towards self-actualized individuals.
As mentioned previously, the information gathered was more definitive on other points. It
showed the emergence and fulfillment of higher needs regardless of the lack of satisfaction of
81
more basic needs. Yet it also showed that while one can bypass lower needs for higher ones, one
cannot substitute them with one another or ignore them altogether. The gratification of lower
needs must be achieved, even if higher needs have already been well met, for optimal prosperity,
success, and fulfillment of an individual. I have thus adjusted the interpretative information in the
test accordingly.
The intake assessment test appears to be useful and effective as a diagnostic tool. Yet it is
only meant as the entry point of a coaching process or any other avenue that assists personal
growth. Gaining awareness is only the first step that leads to change and growth. So this is where
we need to compare a client's test responses and scores to the reference table in a coaching
process. It can give the coach and coachee the leads they need to explore the individuals`
unfulfilled needs and develop strategies to meet them. The coach can point out to the client the
spiritual ideals, mental patterns, positive emotions, and physical behaviors to adopt to replace the
dysfunctional ones. This way, the client has the opportunity to experience a greater sense of
empowerment and ability to manifest prosperity. The process acts as a safety net that guides and
secures the individual in the exploration journey to achieve more personal fulfillment.
The coaching journey with these six clients has not moved sufficiently forward to prove
conclusively that the approach leads to greater abundance. However, some of these people have
achieved interesting and tangible results. Subject 14 is a real estate individual with enjoyment
issues who has been struggling to obtain new clients. In the past three months together, she has
gained a better awareness of her needs and ideals. So she decided to shift her perspective to do
only the aspect of her job that she enjoys. Following this approach has effortlessly netted three
new clients. Subject 9 who has empowerment blocks was able to let go of other people's opinion
to create a business plan that truly reflects her values and ideals. Subject 16 who confessed to
safety problems has been able to update ineffective attitudes to manifest an extension to her
82
current work contract, a lucrative consulting opportunity, and the beginning of a coaching
practice at home. While these results are not definitive, they are certainly encouraging.
The questionnaire part of the test is an assessment tool to determine the unfulfilled needs
of a client. By itself, it does not indicate how to address the issues uncovered and deal with them.
It is the purpose of the reference table and coaching process to support, inform, guide, and
motivate a client to change. I feel this is a very powerful and effective way to support a client.
I also believe there are many other tools or avenues that can support the diagnostic part of
the test. For instance, a coach may use the prosperity test to determine the psychological needs of
a person and then ask the client to fill in the wheel of life test. This test gives a subjective
evaluation of the satisfaction level of an individual in regards to different aspects of one's life. It
includes the aspects of career, friendships, personal growth, family, home, travel and leisure
among others. The coachee could cross-reference the results of both tests to better identify his or
her blocks and find additional useful avenues of exploration.
A coach could also use other practitioners` approaches. One could refer to Deborah
Price's (2003) eight money types. These represent different personality types that relate to money
in 8 different but very specific ways. This avenue of inquiry could be a powerful way to identify
financial personality and behavioral patterns and explain how they limit a person's access to
greater prosperity.
Another approach would be to refer to Caroline Myss` (1996) archetypal roles. These are
archetypal patterns that unconsciously drive people. Recognizing which roles we have adopted
would lead us to identify those energetic and psychological patterns that we may want to evolve
or release to better meet our needs.
A different avenue of exploration would be to combine this test with Cyndi Dale's (2004)
test. A coach could use this intake questionnaire to determine a client's frustrated needs. He or
83
she could then use Dale's test to identify the strongest urges and talents that can manifest the
person's spiritual destiny. Together these two sources of insights could provide great value for an
individual to set his or her life's ideals, manifest his or her destiny, and increase his or her
prosperity.
Given all of the above, I would cautiously conclude that the test results and the feedback
gathered from the test subjects mostly support the hypothesis advanced. The satisfaction of our
seven basic needs is a significant determinant of our experience of prosperity. I would make this
affirmation subject to the previously stated limitations. I would also want to confirm the above
conclusions through the continued testing on a much larger and average test population. I intend
to offer this test on my coaching website shortly to gather additional data from all participating
individuals to further validate my working theory.
Once this is done, I believe that another avenue of inquiry for this tool would be to assess
how to adapt it to the business world. It is people who determine the values and success of each
and every business enterprise or venture. Thus, I believe that the personal drives of business
leaders and employees to meet their own needs can play a critical role in the success of any
enterprise. Most of us can acknowledge the different motivations of public employees versus
entrepreneurial owners. We can also recognize the distinct values of family run businesses versus
large bottom line driven multinational corporations. We understand the contrasting ideals of not
for profit organizations versus the artistic or pleasure oriented industries. I believe the potential
for the application of this test in the business world is as promising as I would like to believe it is
in the world of personal growth.
I leave you with a short story to support my point. One of my teachers at the International
Coaching Academy coaches high level executives. She told her students how the CEO of a large
corporation approached her seeking support. He confessed that his company was undergoing
84
some very difficult times, and he wanted her expertise to identify the root of the problem and
resolve it. This coach listened to the client for less than an hour before offering her expert
opinion. She told him unequivocally that he was the problem. His need for total control to satisfy
his underlying insecurities was creating havoc in his company, and unless he addressed these
driving needs, his fear of the company going bankrupt could very well become reality.
Given that our needs drive us, I respectfully submit that we should pay them a little more
attention. It is the intent that drove this study. If we can become a little more fulfilled with who
we are, we may also come to experience the greater prosperity and ideal life conditions we all
seek.

General Principles of Interpretation:

- There are seven human dimensions of prosperity which must be met for each normal human being
to be totally fulfilled.
- These dimensions of prosperity are usually fulfilled in ascending order from the basic need of
safety to the ultimate need of wholeness.
- As long as the lower dimensions are not met to a satisfying degree, higher dimensions remain
largely unexpressed and unexploited.
- Occasionally the needs of higher dimensions are met first to the detriment of lower ones.
- The level of prosperity experienced for each dimension is directly related to the fulfillment of that
level of need, motivation and energy.

development. Prosperity is affluent

General Principles of Interpretation:

- There are seven human dimensions of prosperity which must be met for people to be totally fulfilled.
- These dimensions of prosperity should normally be fulfilled in ascending order from the basic need of
safety to the ultimate need of wholeness.
- The ideal is for individuals to meet all of their needs at the highest level possible. If this does not occur, a
person may function normally with balanced scores at lower levels of gratification despite some blocks and
dissatisfactions in each dimension.
- The needs of higher dimensions can be sufficiently met despite the insufficient fulfillment of lower drives.
- Other times the overcompensation of a driving need will occur to the detriment of other needs.
- The level of prosperity experienced for each dimension is directly related to the fulfillment of that level of
need, motivation, and energy.
7 - The Dimension of Wholeness represents our need to experience alignment, oneness, serenity,
connectivity, transcendence, spirituality, transformation, and higher truth.
6- The Dimension of Self-Actualization is concerned with our desire to tap our intuition and imagination,
visualize our ideal life, create our future, fulfill our potential and manifest wisdom.
5- The Dimension of Expression manifests prosperity through our integrity, our creativity and the pursuit
of our life's mission. It wills of us to express our truth with courage.
4- The Dimension of Love fills our Need for Love, compassion, caring and intimacy. It addresses our
desire for freedom, balance and independence. It includes as well our need to heal and forgive.
3- The Dimension of Power is about our drive for power, control, order, rationality and assertiveness.
2- The Dimension of Enjoyment fills our need for pleasure, emotional satisfaction, social contact, sexual
expression, beauty, and creativity.
1- The Dimension of Safety takes care of our need for safety, survival, sustenance, vitality and grounding.
