Money banks and Power banks: Just like we all have linkages with money banks, we all have linkages with power in some way. This is because we all have the existential needs pair: Frame of orientation ------ Object of Devotion/Ultimate concern/ideal/superior idea. This existential needs pair is built into the human personality. The quality of the Object of Devotion/Ultimate concern/ideal/superior determines the quality of the frame of orientation; The frame of orientation is drawn together or structured by the Object of devotion/Ultimate concern/ideal/superior idea. The frame of orientation sets the stage or points the way to the Objective of devotion/Ultimate concern/idea/superior idea. .......................... In the culture of narcissism in which we live, The object of devotion/ultimate concern/idea/superior idea becomes over-invested in self-interest. ..............Gabriel Marcel had a term for this: Autolatry; Self-worship. From the Old Testament: Mention is made of those who "worship their own might." ................... The term: Money bank was used by the Personality theorist, Otto Rank. ................. The existential needs pair is derived from the Personality theorist: Erich Fromm.
