I do not shine unless I express!. I become drunk with life when I am allowed to paint or play my guitar!. I've been on stage but I get just as much pleasure playing to my wife and daughter!. I paint for my own selfish pleasure!. To have a painting that says something is blissful!. To have an abstract that makes me feel is organismic!. I think the need that this fulfills is that it makes me feel like a young boy again!. Almost like mental yoga!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The only authentic need I have is goodness which is achieved by wisdom!.

People starve themselves for what they believe in; food is not on the same level as goodness!.

No-one 'desires' anything they don't think is good!.

If you truly know what is good, that is wisdom, and that is why we are here!.

All the other things you mention - creativity, love, power, fame, admiration - are not good in themselves!. They can be good but can lead to evil!.

Only if used wisely are they good!.

Therefore wisdom and goodness come first, and all other things second!. There could be a wise time to starve myself and not have food, but there could never be a wise time to be unwise!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You will find as many answers as many people!. The things you talk about and intangible and very relative so their position in people's priorities' scale will,as you may guess, vary!. People have different values and even when they coincide,they don't always have the same importance for everyone!. That's why for some people power and money are important and for some others they're just meaningless!. You can't design a universal scale of values because it's a very subjective thing that depends on each one of us!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

!.
You mentioned "special gifts", "giving to others" and "to be fulfilled"!. !. !. So that must not mean physical or material "needs"!.

If that's that's the case, then my "authentic needs" are !. !. !.

Creativity, openness, truth, authentic love, celebrate and embrace life!.

To see, touch and embrace the soul!.!.!.not just the mind or the body!.

There is a child within me who has taken over the "jaded adult" and this is a very authentic need!. Continuing to nourish this child with proper love, attention, affection, simplicity of life, encouragement, creativity and hope has the power to fulfill not only me, but others!.

Peace!.

Basic Needs: Protein-based meals (with sufficiently vitamin-filled veggies) needed to sustain life, clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, a safe and clean place to live!.

Personal needs: A stable work environment with a sufficient paycheck, freedom of expression, mental challengesWww@QuestionHome@Com

It depends what is meant by "authentic needs"!. Its a bit ambiguous!.!.!.

And the fact you dont know how to convey a question is amplified by the fact that you down-thumbed two people who gave the most fundamental needs of human existence!.

Water, food, oxygen, sleep!. The most authentic of all the needs!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Gravity, oxygen, water, food, sleep -- everything else is essentially a desire!.

What you've mentioned doesn't come close to the biologoical need of a member of species!. These are to treat the ego, the pride or spirit (depending on what you define) and emotional states!.
