The plan of action that is to be carried out in the impending physical life is the individual's existential program. Studies indicate that no two individuals have identical existential programs - not even siamese twins. As we are all at different points in our evolutionary progress, have all had diverse past experiences and display various personal weak traits and strong traits, everyone has different developmental needs that must be considered when formulating an existential program. Sometimes, people think that making vast amounts of money and acquiring huge estates and assets will satisfy them. Others turn to thrill-seeking, including dangerous sports and drugs, in the hope that this will fill their personal void.
Studies show, however, that no one has an existential program that is focused on making money.
Also, engaging in dangerous sports and taking drugs can quickly end anyone's physical life and negate the possibility of executing any further portion of an existential program. As well, existential programs are never planned with the intention that someone come to physical life to be a drug dealer, a criminal or to take his or her own life or the life of another. Just as someone who is successfully executing the existential program can experience satisfaction and even euphoria as a result of his or her accomplishment, one who is not performing the planned life task can have an abiding feeling of melancholy. Unfortunately, the conscious existential program is still a condition achieved by a small minority of humanity. The personal trait formula involves a comparative evaluation of your strong and weak traits.
