These sorts of human failings are, of course, not limited to scientists who do not accept parapsychological findings. They happen in all fields of science, including parapsychology itself. As Abraham Maslow pointed out in a too little-known but brilliant book, The Psychology of Science [50], any individual scientist can use science as an open-ended, personal growth system or as one of the best neurotic defense mechanisms known. 

More than 50 years ago, psychologist Abraham Maslow created what he called a hierarchy of needs. It was a pyramid representation of what human beings needed most in life, in order from the most importanttothe least. Obviously, the most important needs are the ones people have to have to survive, such as air, food, water, and shelter. Beyond that, however, was the need to belong and fit in with others. It is a powerful drive in humans and nowhere is that made clearer than in the typical high school, where differentness, as Midler calls it, is a curse. 

Several writers have turned to German or Sanskrit to find more appropriate words, but these have largely been ignored. More notable terms are peak experiences, a term popularized by the psychologist Abraham Maslow altered states, popularized by the psychologist Charles Tart alternative states, coined by Norman Zinberg and cosmic experience, popularized in William James The Varieties of Religious Experience.

Developed in the 1950s, Abraham Maslow s hierarchy of needs theorizes that humans are motivated by five needs. This theory perhaps best exanplifies the point of motivation and safety. Maslow s theory is to be viewed as a foundation model. Meaning that the pyramidal levels of need rely upon the preceding level for foundational support. 

Dr. Abraham Maslow of Brandeis University believes that people are motivated not only by their unique personalities and by how they want to fit into their world, but they are also motivated by their own individual needs. The premise that runs through Dr. Maslow s book is motivation is internal—thus, self-perpetuating. ... 

Two major researchers, Abraham H. Maslow and Fredrick Herzberg, developed models of motivation during this period. Maslow s hierarchy of needs (Maslow, 1954) is as follows, starting with the most basic needs at the bottom of the list and working up to the top ... 

From the beginning of mankind, safety seems to have been an inherent human genetic element or force. The Babylonian Code of Hammurabi states that if a house falls on its occupants and kills them, the builder shall be put to death. The Bible established a set of rules for eating certain foods, primarily because these foods were not always safe to eat, given the sanitary conditions of the day. In 1943, the psychologist Abraham Maslow proposed a five-level hierarchy of basic human needs, and safety was number two on this list. System safety is a specialized and formalized extension of our inherent drive for safety.
