In utilizing these concepts, Maslow believed that the there is a hierarchy of needs that exists and that self-transcendence seems to become more superior when biological and survival needs are met. Maslow believed that there to be three transpersonal experiences: peak, nadir, and plateau. When these three experiences are able to be integrated together, the most profound way of being can be achieved. Other theorists such as Jung and Assagioli, used the trans-personal theory in the psychodynamic realm of thinking through the idea of individuation that brings together aspects of the psyche, introversion/extroversion relations to the world, and perceptions of the world to complete one-self. They utilized a topographical model to explain the psyche to be considered of four parts: personal psyche, preconscious, personal unconscious, and collective unconscious.
