The hierarchy of needs is a great idea. It can be looked at differently from the way it usually is, though. That which is on top of the pyramid, is what rules, like the elite in society. The ultimate driver is the ultimate. And, we all have this pyramid built into our body and soul in the chakra system. We all walk around, sleep, play and work with it going on every moment, regardless of our outer conditions. That pyramid of levels is always there within us, and all levels are available to us all the time, and all levels of ourselves are needed for good functioning.
For example, just ask the slaves in Dixie in 1840, if they had no interest in God, as they sang those gospel songs which white people now sing in church every Sunday down there. Or ask the Hindus who built all those luxuriously-spiritual temples and all those beautiful crafts for centuries whether they ever had as much money as the unemployed coal miners in West Virginia who are doped up.
