Definition and meaning of Self-Esteem

Self-Esteem, Self-Efficacy, Expectancy - [Psychology]

Self-esteem is the value a person ascribes to himself or herself. It is a psychological need identified by Abraham Maslow in his Hierarchy of Needs. Maslow felt everyone acted to win approval, recognition, and a sense of achievement, but these were difficult to attain if basic human needs like food and clothing were not met. Once people satisfied these physiological and safety needs, they could consider realizing psychological needs of self-esteem and love. Self-efficacy is a person's perception of his or her own effectiveness or confidence in his or her ability to perform a particular test. It is part of the self-actualizing needs, the need to fulfill individual potential, which constitute the peak of Maslow's needs. In striving to attain these goals, people often act in ways which influence other people's perceptions. Attribution theory considers such actions self-serving. Expectancy relates to a person's expectations based on prior experience.

DELUSIONAL SELF

The ultimate confusion of psychedelic psychosis results in extreme terror because one becomes lost in an abyss of meaningful connections. The conscious mind spends most of its time keeping the contents of the chaotic cosmos from overwhelming it. In order to do this it creates a delusional self, an anchor of "pretended" reality with roots in the past and continuity through the present times. When the delusional self is dissolved by the mystical experience, or by physical shock (such as imminent death), the mind explodes into an uncontrollable paroxysm (or orgasm) of omniscience.

Permanent Self Used by Blavatsky (Key, sec 8) for the incarnating ego, as contrasted with the earth vehicle, the personal self or ego; not to be confused with its own divine-spiritual monadic source or focus, the higher self (atman), the essential and eternally perduring divine selfhood per se.

Definition and meaning of self-determination:

self-determination

As the Civil War began in 1861, southerners claimed the right of self-determination, the right to establish their own independent government. Since the majority of southerners desired independence for the Confederacy, they believed the North's effort to prevent their secession was contrary to its own professed belief in democracy.

Supreme Self Pramatman, the summit or hierarch of a cosmic hierarchy. To speak of one ultimate supreme self as infinite and eternal is a logical contradiction, although such paramatamans are virtually infinitely numerous in the frontierless ranges of the Boundless, parabrahman (beyond Brahman), or 'eyn soph (without bounds or limits).

Fire-self Fire-self has several meanings, from the divine to the physical fire of vitality. When used alone, it signifies the divine-spiritual power which is the very essence of the divine monad, its individuality; and because fire in occultism is but a manifestation of pure intelligence, the fire-self is therefore the loftiest monadic or individualized egoity, divine in its essence in the human or cosmic constitution.

Self-existent (Atmabhu, Svayambhuva) Existing in and by itself alone; applied to any self-contained entity when considered apart from others. Applied by Western theologians to Deity as contrasted with his creatures, whose being sprang from him and is dependent on him. In addition to its use in defining the cosmic monad or unity, it is also used for subordinate monads considered in relation to the entities which spring from them; for example, the logos or head of a hierarchy is self-existent by contrast with its emanations. In the Qabbalah the Heavenly Man ('Adam Qadmon) is called the self-existent, and the same may be said of Brahman, or even of Brahma, in Hindu systems.
