Anankelogy Principles A-Foundational - B-Basic - C-General - D-Pain - E-Conflict - F-Power - G-Structural - H-Love You will find these principles organized into eight distinct types. Foundational Principles lay the basis for anankelogy as a unique science. These create the foundation for the discipline study of need . As objective phenomena, many aspects of our needs can be examined by the scientific method . Basic Principles ground aspects of your experience with needs in the science of anankelogy. These establish anankelogy as a unique social science . General Principles add wisdom to experiencing needs anchored in the science of anankelogy. These provide insight into what this new profession of need-response can do that other professional fields cannot . Pain Principles start applying anankelogy to be more "need-responsive" in our lives. These apply primarily at the personal human problem level. Conflict Principles offer some insight for negotiating disputes you have with others. These apply primarily at the interpersonal human problem level. Authority Principles apply anankelogy to the legitimacy of those in positions of influential power. These apply primarily at the power human problem level. Law Principles apply anankelogy to the point of having laws and unwritten norms. These apply primarily at the structural human problem level. Love Principles cap these need-focused concepts with mutual respect for each other's needs. These give context to all the other types as we function best when we support others to function their best. One word for such positive regard is love.

The more you drill down to the beginning of an experienced need, the more you find what exists prior to any human intervention. You don’t merely believe you must have water or that you need a friend, you experience these needs as essential to your capacity to function. Your ability to function after quenching a thirst or leaning on a friend exist independent of subjective feelings, as objective facts. The less your natural needs resolve, the less you can objectively function. Read More A02 Foundational Principle A naturally prioritized need is an objective fact. The more something you require to fully function persists unsatisfied, the more your attention will be drawn toward its satisfaction. It matters less whether you believe you must prioritize it. The objective basis of your functioning subconsciously demands you focus on it over less pressing matters. Any subjective beliefs or feelings arrive after the objective fact of your life prioritizing it. The less you attend to your inflexibly prioritized needs, the less you can objectively function. Read More B01 Basic Principle Resolving needs improves wellness. Wellness is another word for function. All needs exist to serve function. The more you resolve your needs, the better you can function. The more you eat well, the better you can function. You eat, breathe, connect with friends and enjoy moments of solitude all for the sake of being able to function through life. The less your needs resolve, or the less you attend to your prioritized needs, the less you can function. Or the less well you will be. Where there is no function to serve, there is no need. Read More B02 Basic Principle Emotions personally convey needs. The less you can function because of some lack or some threat, the more your body will emote you do something to replenish that lack or remove that threat. Such responses are automatic. Your body conveys your needs to maintain function. You don’t even have to feel it, though you often do on some level. Where there is no need to convey, there is no emotion. Read More B03 Basic Principle Your emotions prioritize your existence. The more you sense some threat, even a mild risk to your safety, your emotions will automatically prioritize your continued existence. Without your assured continuance, little else matters to your life. Or you may no longer be around, or at least at your current capacity, for anything else to matter. Once triggered, it’s next to impossible to prioritize anything else. Read More B04 Basic Principle Your feelings alert you to the status of your needs. The more your functioning becomes limited from some unresolved need, the more your feelings call attention to it. Initially, such feelings remain vague. Then often out of the blue, they turn alarmingly urgent. Usually with something you could do right away to ease the pressure. You could react on this feeling. Or you could dig deeper into what your feelings can only suggest is really happening. Properly responding dissolves its intensity. Read More B05 Basic Principle Beliefs exist to serve needs. The more your interpreted perceptions help you to function in life, the more they crystallize into useful beliefs. The less relevant a fact is to your functioning, the less you cling to it. It matters little if you agree or disagree whether the sun will someday go nova. You can hardly be persuaded against holding as true what helps you survive today, or helps you get by, or helps you get ahead in life. Read More B06 Basic Principle You believe what you need to believe. The more a belief proves vital to your existence, the more it rises in your hierarchy of accepted truths. The more your life seems or actually depends on something being so, the more you must naturally defend it. The less relevant to your required means to function, the less you defend it. The less your needs resolve, the more tightly you cling to any belief you perceive helping you get by. Read More B07 Basic Principle Your biases prioritize your needs. The less resolve a need, the more your attention naturally turns to seek its relief. You find you must prioritize whatever you find available to ease the emotional pressure. Sometimes, you hit on exactly what your life requires. Your prioritized thinking leads you in a positive direction. Other times, you prioritize generalizations that offer hope for relief. Such biases easily lead you astray, and in pain. Read More B08 Basic Principle All beliefs include error. The more you generalize, the less likely the accuracy of those beliefs. If irrelevant to your life, then the result errors can pass unnoticed. As a factory worker, it matters little if I believe Abraham Lincoln was born in Illinois or Kentucky. If my livelihood depends on it, I better know he was born in Kentucky. There will always be facts beyond the reach of your conclusions. Humility helps you stay informed. Read More B09 Basic Principle All your behaviors serve your needs. The less some action contributes to your wellbeing, the more open you are to change them. The more an action enables you to function, the more likely to repeat that action. Even the most trivial of behaviors must align with what you need to function, or you will likely change it. If you keep giving cash to that homeless guy and then run out of cash, you inevitably change your behavior. Read More B10 Basic Principle Needs resolve and evolve. The more you satisfy a recurring need, like drinking water to quench a thirst, the more your repeated action predictably leaves you satisfied. The more you pacify your recurring needs with some alternative, like indulging in junk food for each meal, the less your hunger subsides. The more you habitually rely on alternatives, the more your life contracts to accommodate such limits.

Your feelings alert you to the status of your needs. < Back B04 Basic Principle List of all principles Your feelings alert you to the status of your needs. Image: Pixabay – PublicDomainPictures (click on meme to see source image) Summary The more your functioning becomes limited from some unresolved need, the more your feelings call attention to it. Initially, such feelings remain vague. Then often out of the blue, they turn alarmingly urgent. Usually with something you could do right away to ease the pressure. You could react on this feeling. Or you could dig deeper into what your feelings can only suggest is really happening. Properly responding dissolves its intensity. Description Which do you think is more likely? You address your needs by rationally thinking through each one. OR You address routine needs with the autopilot of your healthy feelings. Anankelogy Every feeling you feel comes with its own level of intensity. The more your need-conveying emotions sense your ability to function is held back, the more intense the emotion. As your ability to function goes back to your functional norm, the feeling naturally subsides. Let’s use some common needs to illustrate the ups and downs of emotions. Self-determination . Consider your need to define your own path in life. If right now you can freely pursue your own purpose in life, you likely do not feel any urgency to do your own thing if already doing it. But the more your ability to function requires a level of self-determination you find elusive, the more intense the longing for self-determination. Fairness . Consider your need to be treated by the same standard as anyone else. If you don’t feel cheated right now, you likely do not feel life is unfair. But as soon as you feel you are being treated more negatively than others, your emotions warn you with growing intensity. Acceptance . Consider your need to be affirmed for who you authentically are. If you’re totally embraced for who you honestly are, you may not even feel the need for acceptance. But as soon as you feel a threat of rejection, your longing for acceptance can naturally intensify. Grieving . Consider your need to adjust to some painful loss. If you have not suffered any terrible loss recently, you likely feel no urgency to make any emotional adjustments. But if you recently lost something of great importance to you, you will intensely feel Intimacy . Consider your need for affectionate closeness. If already close to someone in a satisfying relationship, you don’t exactly long for intimacy at that moment. But if unable to find a compatible romantic partner, you may be craving for intimacy. Security . Consider your need to remain unhindered by dangers. If feeling totally safe at the moment, you likely don’t even think about your need for security. But as soon as dangers come rushing in, your need for security rushes front and center. Support . Consider your need to receive help where you cannot provide for yourself. If surrounded by friends pouring out bountiful care, you don’t feel the need for support that intensely. But if in trouble somewhere all by yourself, you yearn for all the help you can get. With each of these, the more your feelings warn you that you must resolve the need as soon as possible, it often includes something that could hold hope of prompt relief. Often, this serves as stopgap measure, at least until the real thing comes along. Unfortunately, we can become attached to such substitutes. Until a need fully resolves, your mind keeps you focused on it at some level. The less you can resolve a need on your own, and especially if vulnerable to forces beyond your personal control, you could find yourself trapped in emotional pain warning of persisting unmet needs. Need-response Need-response identifies four levels of human problems that can leave you feeling stuck in emotionalpain. Personal problem . You can solve a personal problem on your own. The painful feelings subside soon after you pursue your solution. Interpersonal problem . You solve an interpersonal problem with cooperation with a peer. The closer you agree on a solution, the sooner your painful feelings can fade away. Power problem . You must wait on someone of influence to solve the problem. If they respond to your need, your painful feelings can then stop bothering you. Structural problem . A social norm or structural pattern must change before you can solve such a problem. Until then, you could feel trapped in some intensifying emotional pain. Need-response exists to address each level of problem. The more your problem sits higher above this list, the more likely you endure some sharp disturbing feelings. Long-term endurance of such emotional pain correlates with coping mechanisms like addictions. Too many of us must find ways to accommodate increasingly loads of emotional pain from mounting loads of unresolved needs, due to these complex problems. Need-response prepares you to address all of these levels of problems so that all sides can benefit by resolving more needs. Reactive Problem Hyper-individualism presents a major hurdle to identifying the level of a problem prompting your intense emotions. The Western bias toward personal responsibility—which is laudable when properly applied—easily blinds us from these higher levels of human problems. We too easily blame ourselves for what we cannot personally change. Instead of entertaining the complexities of our problems, we cope with relief-generalizing that avoids dealing with the problem. Instead of engaging the intense feelings that follow, we gloss over the details that could solve the problem. Instead of solving problems, we feed the deeper nefarious problem of avoidant adversarialism . We avoid facing the uncomfortable reality of our complicated problems by becoming adversarial. Since it’s easier to change a powerless individual than change the more powerful person or institution, we habitually evade the intense feelings produced by such problems by rushing into conflicts. To avoid dealing squarely with complicated issues, we indulgently take sides in these contrived conflicts. In short, we try to take the easier path but that quickly becomes the harder path the bear. Your intense feelings are not the problem as much as the unresolved needs they exist to report . Responsive Solution Need-response has you embrace each challenging feeling. You develop the tenacity to embrace even your most painful emotions. You get to the need each of these intense feelings try to report. You then address each problem up the ladder. You resolve your personal problems the best you can. But offered understanding that even your personal problems may require some attention to these higher-level problems. Even those in positions of influential power have many of the same needs as you. So need-response cultivates mutual supports. That includes offering them many of the same qualities that you need . For example, you offer them grace that affirms where they are developmentally at to model the standard for how they are to graciously affirm you where you are at. You learn to let your painful feelings serve you, so you don’t feel trapped serving them . You learn to turn your most intense feelings into opportunities for growth. You learn to appreciate these intense feelings as they inform you the status of your many needs. Responding to your needs How does this principle speak to your experience of needs? Post in our Engagement forum your thoughtful response to one of these: When overwhelmed with intense pain, what do you have to help me to think straight? This seems easier said then done, so I’d like to see such pain endurance in action. Personal responsibility is the answer for most problems, or so I am personally convinced. What can be done about lingering pain that doesn’t seem connected to any current need?

Emotions personally convey needs. < Back B02 Basic Principle List of all principles Emotions personally convey needs. Image: Pixabay – Pexels (click on meme to see source image) Summary The less you can function because of some lack or some threat, the more your body will emote you do something to replenish that lack or remove that threat. Such responses are automatic. Your body conveys your needs to maintain function. You don’t even have to feel it, though you often do on some level. Where there is no need to convey, there is no emotion. Description Which do you think is more likely? Since emotions are highly subjective, they must be controlled with reason. OR The sooner you resolve a need, the sooner its emotion naturally goes away. Anankelogy Your emotions convey to your body whatever your life requires to function in that moment. If your ability to maintain function requires you to do something, such emotions compel you to act. The further your underlying needs remains unresolved, the more intense the emotion. The urgency to safeguard your capacity to function, to exist, could provoke you to react in some way. Such an alarming reaction often creates other painful needs. Each emotion conveys a specific need. Each addresses a particular area of your ability to function. And each comes packed with your sense’s perceived intensity of that need. Anger conveys to you that you’re facing something you cannot accept. The more you perceive it as unacceptable, the more intense the anger. From mild irritation to violent outrage. Fear conveys that you’re facing something you sense you cannot adequately handle. The more you perceive it as beyond your ability to handle, the more intense the fear. From mild anxiety to overwhelming terror. Guilt conveys your self-serving actions unacceptably contrast with your social commitments. The more your behavior violated social norms, the more intense the guilt. From mild embarrassment to devastating shame. Disappointment conveys that your rightful expectations have not been met. The more dependent upon what fell through, the more intense your disappointment. From casually resigned to the outcome to full disruption to your life. Depression conveys, in large part, a drop in energy to continue pursuing commitments at odds with your other neglected needs. The greater the contrast between your habitual neglect of these other needs, the more serious the depression. From a mild case of gloominess to major depression. In each case, your emotion conveys something lacking in your ability to fully function. You may not even be aware of such emotions. The more aware of your emotion, the more you feel it. You could be experiencing one emotion while feeling another. For example, you say you feel upset when your colleague failed to show up for a one-on-one meeting you drove across town just to attend. Before emoted that this is something you cannot accept, your body likely emoted disappointment. You may feel too angry to be aware of your emotion of disappointment. Prior to emoting disappointment, your body likely emoted shock, at that moment when you were trying to be sure your colleague was there or not. The greater the impact on your ability to function, the more intense the emotion. Wisdom warns us not to react to our emotions. Need-response addresses irritants that needlessly provoke your more intense emotions. Need-response Need-response addresses the needs conveyed by your emotions, instead of trying to ease your painful feelings. That’s a basic fault of our failing institutions. If they do not respond to the needs your emotions report, you tend to get stuck in those painful feelings. The more you can resolve the needs your emotions convey, the less pain you must endure. Simple enough, but not easy. Need-response offers tools to reconnect us all to the needs our emotions exist to convey. Reactive Problem Doctors and lawyers mean well by offering you options to relieve your pain. But if you ever become dependent on such pain-relieving options, you risk missing the point. The very point of your pain is to alert you to something you must do, or not do, to continue functioning. The more you slide down the rabbit hole of pain-relief or suppression, the fewer of your needs can fully resolve. You end up in more pain. Then you seek more ways to relieve that pain. This creates a vicious downward spiral, debilitating your life. Responsive Solution Short-term pain relief may prove necessary to restore your focus. But let your tolerance for discomfort build up enough to never become dependent on pain-relieving options. Long-term relief from uncomfortable emotions risk trapping you in more pain. Need-response offers tools to cultivate and improve your relationship with your own emotions. You learn to appreciate the pain you likely prefer to avoid. You also learn to reflect on desires before indulging them too soon. You grow the capacity to process your feelings to promptly resolve your needs, to remove cause for pain or for obsessive cravings, to restore you to holistic wellness. All emotions compel attention to unresolved needs. To get you to do something so you can keep on functioning. Without a need to convey directly or vicariously, you experience no emotion . Responding to your needs How does this principle speak to your experience of needs? Post in our Engagement forum your thoughtful response to one of these: I know I shouldn’t act on every emotion right away, but that’s not exactly suppression. Sometimes I must curb my emotion’s intensity before I do something stupid. Too often, it’s next to impossible to fully resolve a need and I feel stuck feeling bad. What kind of tool could help me improve how I relate to my own emotions? Instead of selecting one of these, post your own engagement feedback about your experience with the subject of this principle.

Summary Accuser's needs Other's needs See claimant's full Estimated Innocence Report Post-Conviction Journey Appeal results Every exonerated person had their case first reviewed by the judicial appeals process. Every time, the panel of judges overlooked the injustice of that miscarriage justice. The appellate process focuses on procedural standards. Is it possible to faithfully follow every procedural norm and still find an innocent person guilty? Yet, this happens much more frequently than many would like to admit. Most innocence projects remain under-resourced. Only a handful of lawyers, and often only law students or paralegals, invest hours going through case documents. They don't always find something that can be reversed in court. They tend to seek something they can trust will have a greater chance of being granted a hearing in court. And has a greater chance for success of a conviction reversal. They could risk their funding streams if championing cases with a harder, or little, chance to prevail in court. So they tend to serve those "low hanging fruit" cases of greater promise for overturning a wrongful conviction. Where does this leave the countless souls who are innocent in prison and beyond, who cannot get an innocence litigator to go to bat for them? That's what this Public Exoneration option is for.
