Definitions - The Four Dual Basic Urges - The Primal Purpose
This Being always does that which will bring about "it’s" concept of what is good. The primal (baby’s) decision that the purpose of living is to be non-disturbed, is experienced first on the physical level, then after a few months, also on the psychological level. Later, it is experienced on the emotional level, and still later on the transcendental level.
| Level | Gain | Escape |
| Physical | Comfort and Pleasure | Pain and Discomfort |
| Mental | Attention | Being Ignored or Rejected |
| Emotional | Approval | Disapproval |
| Transcendental | Being needed; Feeling Important; Appearance of being important | Inferiority: Insignificance |
The 4 dbu’s are not right or wrong, good or bad—they simply are. I can observe (without criticizing or judging) just how these urges work in everyone, including self.
